Solomon TheTruth ....they are a great set of earbuds for the money. The sound quality is good and all the touch controls are easy to use and work great. They feel good in the ears they don’t bother me after using them for hours at a time. Battery life is also not bad for the price you pay. Volume is okay too.

[@ELJefeReviews]

No. Not better than these 2.

[@rm4213]

Are they louder than the S1's? I loved the S1 but needed 2 or 3 more bumps up on the volume if they did that I will definitely buy them

[@digiboiwand]

You would think most true wireless earbuds even on the $50 range would have volume control. And you would think they would check the earbuds before sending over for a review. Peace.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Some of these companies are still not listening to what the people are asking for. Volume control is so basic it boggles my mind as to why it's so often overlooked.

[@suhruthnelapatla8932]

In your opinion, what are the best over ear wireless headphones under $100? ANC would be nice, but I take sound quality over noise cancelling. I'd prefer something that's balanced, but still has a good kick from the bass.

[@ELJefeReviews]

1. SEO. You have nothing but links in your video description. There's no actual description. You also have no tags. 2. Use matching keywords in title, description, and tags. Look at my video description, tags, and titles as an example of how to do this. 3. Remove your name from the titles. No one is searching for your name. I highly suggest watching Nick Nimmin videos on best practices to bring things together.
