Alright everyone , please read this review carefully as it's 6 july 2025 today and on the 23rd of August 2025 , i will have spent 2 years using these awesome and marvellous earbuds... These have been 2 years of extreme , rigorous and very very careless usage and these earphones are still in prime condition, needless to add I'm an avid consumer of music ,l wear my earbuds almost all day long , I've worn them in the gym , while running , they've seen a lot of sweat , a lot of earwax , most of the days ,i fall asleep while wearing them and get up with them either under them or on the floor, I've been very very merciless with these earbuds , I have not used them ,I have exploited them, after allll of this , they're still in prime condition, the mic on these works extremely well, they charge pretty quickly , the box takes a little longer to get fully charged but it lasts for a long time , call quality, voice quality , everything is awesome , their response to your touch is also very durable and awesome , it happens ever so oftent that I'm in the gym and my phone is drenched in sweat and it's screen starts malfunctioning and as a result I can't take calls , but thanks to these earphones , even after all the sweat and moisture they respond to my touch instantly amd I'm able to take calls , in the gym, while driving, 2 wheelers , 4 wheelers , everything...you know I lost their charging box somewhere , so I purchased another set of the same earphones just for the box and im still using the old earbuds with the new box , I have dropped them quite roughly several times , one or two times I have thrown them away because I was angry due to some reason and they're still going one without an ounce of reduction in quality , this is why I'm calling them marvellous... After such rough and extreme usage , i just can't find any big noticable flaw in them.... But yes , I'll like to add that everything depreciates with time , after 2 years of usage , their batter life isn't as good as when they were new , but the sound quality ,the durability, it's still 90% of how it was when they were new...There may be some people who are extra extra critical and would say they give 4.6 to music , 3. Blah blah blah to sound , to bass , don't bother listening to nerds and wannabe tech gurus , go for it , best in class , marvel of engineering , this is gonna be one of those few purchases that youre gonna be proud of , over and out...

I am sharing my honest review after using these earbuds for one week. Previously, I used the boAt Nirvana Ion, so my comparison is based on that experience. Pros: The sound quality is good. Battery backup / playback time is also good. The build quality feels solid and premium. Fit perfectly in ears not loose at all. Cons: These earbuds do not have an ear-detection sensor. Because of this, I have to manually pause the music before removing the earbuds from my ears. This feature was available in the Nirvana Ion and was very useful. The Bluetooth connectivity range seems weak. After moving just 4–5 steps away from the phone, the music starts glitching or disconnecting. This was not an issue with the Nirvana Ion—even from two rooms away, it stayed connected.

Fantastic product. Feature packed. Lows & highs does not distrot. Customisable Equalizers in the app makes for different types of listening. Absolute value for money.

These earbuds have really impressed me. The sound quality is crystal clear with strong bass and well-balanced treble perfect for both music and movies. The noise cancellation works great during calls, even in crowded places. The battery backup is solid, easily lasting a full day, and the fast charging is super convenient just a few minutes of charge gives hours of playtime. The fit is light and comfortable, and they stay secure even during walking or workouts. Bluetooth connection is very stable and quick to pair. The design feels sleek and premium, with a smooth matte finish that looks stylish.

The build quality is good of the case and the buds. The case takes some time to charge. The buds charge quickly. I noticed that the right earbud usually drops 10% lower first than the left earbud when I'm using them. Remember to remove the plastic stickers inside the case or the buds won't charge. The battery backup is excellent so far, cant say exactly how many hours I get of use from them but very happy with them. I got the deep grey coloured ones. I get very good range on these, more than 5-meters but I noticed it depends on the device, old devices don't give such long range. The mic is good sounding, others can hear me fine when calling, online or on network calls. The mic won't be of that high use in a heavily packed mumbai local train setting though, the ENC feature is effective but not like ANC quality. The tap controls work fine too and each earbud can be assigned the various tap functions or even disabled. For instance I have the right earbud set to switch between two devices by long press hold. There is a noticeable sound that can be heard when the tap is acknowledged by the device. These come with three different size ear tips/cushions. I found the factory fitted one comfortable enough to not bother trying the others. The sound profile of these tws is centered around extra bass. I have set the media output to Standard (SBC) which helps lower the overall smoothness and adjust to my liking with the Custom EQ settings. Dolby atmos isn't required to be activated I feel, I liked the sound of the buds without it on. I am used to Realme Buds 2 wired earphones. I find those very comfortable to wear. I used to believe those were bass heavy but these buds 2r definitely have more bass than those. The sound in comparison sounds more spread out/separation in stereo with the wired realme buds 2. The oneplus 2r stereo sound is not too wide as wired earphones but apparently thats a wireless audio thing depending on budget earbuds. Overall I am happy with the purchase but should have brought the 3r or 3pro for more controlled bass. I choose the 2r because the reviews on the 3r had complaints regarding ear fitting and quick rust formation on pin contacts. Anyways, lets see how these last in my usage, I will update the review if any issues are found. Edit: Theres too much bass/sub bass present even with the bluetooth EQ set to -6dB for the lower bands. Also adding Wavelet app has been useful in tailoring the overall eq but still not able to get the baked in bass to a point where it doesn't make overall sound boring. What did help was changing the eartips to a different size. Apparently the silicone tips on any earbuds are not just about in-ear fitting but affect the sound of the earbuds overall, tighter seal in the ear gives more bass and less treble. I would suggest getting the oppo enco buds if playback sound quality is primary goal, I should have researched a bit more about these before buying. Lets see how long before any battery issues appear then I will update the review.

Best All Rounder. Good Audio Quality. All Balanced.

I am reviewing this after one year of purchase. It works perfectly fine, no issues are there till date. Sound quality is absolutely decent. Battery life is good for me(as I don't over use it) and I liked the most is I didn't experience any sound leakage problem till now. May be it's slightly large for my ear, as it comes out sometimes, but I don't consider it it's fault as everyone has different ear shape and size so it differs person to person

Pros: Good build quality. Compact, hard and strong. Dual channel mode. Good battery life. Average sound quality. Cons: No light indicator on the buds to know if it's on or off. Sometimes earbuds may be turned on inside the case and not having indicators make it difficult to figure out if it's on or off. There's only one light indicator on the case. So you can't find out how much battery is left in the case. Makes you feel like you have to keep it constantly charging. The shape of the buds aren't fit for my ears. Boat's Airdopes 141 fit perfectly but not this. It hurts a lil after 45mins of use. Overall, good battery, average audio, great build quality, but compromised features and in-ear fitting.
