Here I am again, writing a review for a pair of no-brand, China-made, Bluetooth “True Wireless” earbuds.
Wireless earbuds got popular in part due to Apple – they removed the 3.5mm jack on their iPhones, so the only way the users could listen to music or enjoy movies was to use Bluetooth earphones.
So, this post is kind of a “sequel” to the previous post, where I went around hunting for a better set of Bluetooth earphones (than the Baseus Encok S06).
Short version – even though the Encok S06 received mostly good reviews, most of them stating that the sound is “good”, but there’s always a follow-up sentence – “… for the price point”. So yes, for such a cheap pair of Bluetooth earphones, the sound is indeed acceptable, some might even go as far as to say good.
For me, all along I had always been using my FREE Sony MH750 wired earphones that came with my phone, for YEARS, so I am used to how music sounds on them. The music sounds different on the Baseus, and I noticed it within seconds.
So recently, I was at a local computer expo (Comex or IT Show, can’t remember which) in 2014. Why did I wait so long to write this? Easy – I wanted to give this keyboard a REAL test first. I needed to see and feel it in action for everyday use as well as frantic gaming moments. So yeah, roughly 8 to 9 months later, I finally sat down to write this.
Anyway long story short, I came across this booth where they were selling lots of peripherals, like mice, gamepads, joysticks etc. What caught my eye were 2 products – The Logitech G710+ Keyboard, and the Razer Black Widow Keyboard. At that point in time, Razer was cheaper by about $20 or $30, I forget. The reason why I opted for the Logitech was simply because my mouse was already a Logitech one, which meant I already have the gaming software for the keyboard. May as well use the same software to manage the keyboard as well instead of having to run the one from Razer.
