    Detailed Test Results

    Design and features:
    This Bluetooth wireless portable earbud model provides good sound. Its non-isolating design doesn't muffle outside sounds so you'll be able to hear that door bell ring, train announcement, or car horn when you are wearing these earphones. The True Wireless EARBUDS HA-A3T has a volume control plus an integrated microphone and player function controls. Additional features include - Either earpiece can be used alone for one ear monitoring of Bluetooth streamed audio and telephone communications. Charging/carrying case has built-in rechargeable battery that the manufacturer claims can be used to recharge the earphone batteries for an additional 14.5 hrs. of listening time for a total of 22 hrs. Manufacturer claims water resistance (IPX4). Has touch controls for volume, music player play/pause and next/prev track, call connect/disconnect, and digital voice assistant activation. Supports Apple Siri and other unspecified digital voice assistants when used with Bluetooth devices that have those capabilities. Has quick charge feature: 15 min of charging will provide 1.5 hours of playtime Bluetooth connected Apple mobile devices using iOS Version 5 and above will show the battery level. The True Wireless EARBUDS HA-A3T comes with USB-A to USB-C connector charging cable, charging cradle/recharger battery/carrying case, startup guide.

    Sound quality:
    We found the True Wireless EARBUDS HA-A3T delivers sound quality that falls in the good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The sound of these earphones is very dependent on how they sit in the ears. In the position they tend to gravitate to the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has little impact, is somewhat subdued, and doesn't go deep. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is somewhat thin, grainy, hazy, and congested (think sonic traffic jam). The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but is prominent and somewhat sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying) and smeared. The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is open--sound-wise it seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears but only does a so-so job of recovering room ambience. Cool character. The overall sound can best be summarized as somewhat thin, grainy, and bright. When the earphones are positioned so that they provide their best sound quality the bass has good impact and is a touch prominent and the midrange is less thin. While the sound is improved, it is unlikely that the user will be able to benefit from this for long - the earphones do not reliably stay in the optimum position.

    Comfort and Fit:

    We found that these earphones produce no pressure in ear canal.

    Users will probably find that this model stays in place with no problems for casual use, they won't fall out even during vigorous head movement, and they are unobtrusive so it's easy to forget they are being worn, however, the position they naturally gravitate to in the ear may not provide the best sound quality, they may be finicky to position for better sound quality, and they may not maintain any position other than the one they naturally fall to.

    Incidental contact with the touch controls can cause unintentional playing and pausing.

    Hitting the stem that hangs out of the ear can knock an earphone loose and cause it to fall out of the ear.
