The details

Otium Audio Wireless On-Ear Sports Earbuds are perfect for all those people who take frequent trips to the beach. These IPX7 waterproof earbuds can withstand water and keep the sound quality as amazing as ever even if you are surfing. It is sweat-proof, damage-proof, and has a fool-proof operation. These are perfect for jogging, running, yoga, hiking, and any type of adventure!

Noise cancelling

The unit adorns CVC 6.0 chip which transmits high-quality audio but it also ensures considerable noise reduction in earbuds. While making calls, we noticed that we could clearly hear the other person and when we asked them about it, they also remarked that the sound was clear and loud. So, in addition to being one of the best earbuds for workouts, these are also perfect for zoom meetings or skype calls.

Sound quality

The sound quality is simply great. It sounds better than most wired earbuds and delivers clear audio playback. The upgraded acoustic components ensure that you are getting a rich and dynamic bass that just sounds phenomenal. The treble also sounds pretty clear. We tried to listen to most music genres on this and found that it worked perfectly with each type!

Comfort

We loved the ear loops! To make sure that the unit remains secure and firm in your ears, the manufacturers have included ear loops that go over your ear and keep the earbuds intact. They are painless and do not feel uncomfortable at all! However, we wish the loops were adjustable. On the other hand, the earbuds themselves are not comfortable to wear. The ear tips are soft and they easily glide into your ear canal. You can wear these for long hours and not feel any pressure inside your ears.

Value

One of the reasons why we think this is perfect for all outdoor adventures is because it can provide almost 9 hours of continuous play. The Bluetooth connectivity is almost flawless; it only takes a few seconds to connect to your smart device. Anyhow, we did notice that the battery completely died off within 10 to 15 minutes of the first warning of low battery which we did not like.

Final verdict

The earbuds are one of the most secure and sports-friendly headphones that we have seen. They can bravely handle a paramount amount of sweat and have an unwavering audio performance. The ear loops are one of our favorite features because they ensure that the earbuds remain firmly in your ear even if you are jumping or running. Unfortunately, they are not adjustable which means some people find these uncomfortable.
