Detailed Test Results

Design and features:

The Uprise has an integrated microphone and volume, music player, and call connect/disconnect controls for paired Bluetooth devices. Additional features include support for Apple Siri and Google Assistant digital voice assistants when it is used with Bluetooth devices that have those capabilities. This model is claimed by the manufacturer to be water resistant and comes with three pairs of ear pieces in various sizes, three pairs of ear bowl supports in various sizes, one pair of removable ear hooks, a USB charging cable, and a carrying bag.

Sound quality:

We found the Uprise delivers sound quality that falls in the Good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The overall sound can best be summarized as bassy and gritty. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is somewhat prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but is grainy, slightly hazy and congested, and has a pervasive "staticky" quality (this model would scored higher in the good range but the staticky quality of the midrange downgraded its score). The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended and fairly detailed, but is somewhat prominent and slightly sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying). The sound has a good sense of liveliness and is somewhat open (sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears). It also does a good job of recovering the room ambience of a recording (the sense of the acoustic space in which the audio program that's being listened to was recorded).

Comfort and Fit:
As typical of in-ear models they produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening that might be uncomfortable for some. Some of our testers had problems with the fit of this model - they found that the earpieces tended to work themselves out of their ear canals. All of our testers found that the ear bowl supports and ear hooks didn't do anything to increase the sense of stability of the earphones. The sound of the earphone connecting cable rubbing on clothing may be transmitted by the earphones.
