W Davis –
I am posting (2) reviews… a Flybud 3 review and a Flybud NC review.FLYBUD 3 – I own a bunch of under $50 TWBs and these are by far the best I have. I own the Sony WF1000’s and they are sorta the bench mark so I will try and have a balanced approach when review the Flybud 3.Sound 4 – Great mid range sound. As much bass as I would every want and overall really good. I have others that I prefer for audio books (but hat is because they are “Bright” and easy to hear voices) but like these for all general use listening. My Sony’s have a lot more detail and a broader sound stage, but without a side by side you would be hard pressed to tell the different when moving around. I really only notice the Sony’s awesomeness while sitting and concentrating on the music. Moving around and living life in motion… I find myself grabbing the Flybuds when I am going to go work out for otherswise.Fit – These stick in you ear like an great set of earplugs. The noise ISSOLATION is the best I have by far. So good that in some case are quieter than my NC version of headphones where NC can actually amplifiy noise more so than cancel it… for example wind noise. The ear wings and the ear tips are great and the most secure TWB I own by far.Battery – I have yet to every run our of battery in the case and cant recall every running out of batter in the TWBs… so batter life is great. The ability to charge and external devise has saved me a few times. The case is a little heavy but slick (good/bad) and slides into pockets easily. I find it a little heavy for when I am wear light shorts or dress clothes, but would be the pair I took if I was to go on a road trip.Gripes – None really… except for the limited MultiFunction aspects of the MFB. I would have liked to see volume added and skip back/forth be implemented in the MFB… but I have learn to live without it.FLYBUD NCFirst… I would give them a (3) start when using the stock ear-tips. The noise isolation (vs the noise cancellation) with the stock ear-tips was terrible so I put a different set of ear-tips and that made a HUGE difference… HUGE.Fortunately Tribit acknowledges such a possibility and as a result just sent me a notice to get (3) new designed ear-tips sent my way. I am anxious to try them to see how they do. In the end this is not an uncommon issue and I find that keeping old ear-tips around so as to swap them to those that work best is a good practice and something I have done with pretty much all the TWB’s I own.Packaging 5: nice as with all the Tribit products I have bought… Its nice and clean and simpleCase (4) : Nice and small, but doesn’t let you use some of the bigger ear-tips from other TWB’s as the charging pins to make contact. The case has 4 little lights on the front as the battery indicator and they seems to drop fast. I often find it at 50% and I am thinking “didn’t i just charge that case?”… only to reflect back with the understanding that I had been using them constantly for the past couple of days… so I suspect the hours claimed are correct…. I just got use to the Flybud 3′ monster 2600mah battery case and seeing those battery lights rarely fall below 75%. lol.Earbud Battery (5) – They say 8 to 10 hrs for the earbud… that is awesome and I have no reason not to believe it. I have yet to wear them out, but the longest I wore them was likely 3hrs to 4hrs… so your experience my vary, but for the record I have gotten “low battery” warnings on all my other earbuds BUT the Flybud NC’s. kudo on the battery life.Earbud Sound (4) – Great for the price. They are not as detailed as my Sony 1000’s (they are very nice and detailed, but cost $200), but are nice in the mids with bass where you need it. I listen to the a lot of podcast and I find the sound of the FB-NC’s to be well balanced and I don’t get fatigued listening over an extended period of time. If I didn’t have the Sony’s to compare them I would give them a 5. Great sound for the price.Earbud Noise Cancellation (4) – as noted WITH the different ear-tips installed the NC is really good for white noise and general background noise. I would say it cuts down that “sort of noise” by 60 to 70% and works great. Again the Sony’s do it better, but without a side by side comparison you would likely not be able to tell the difference between the Tribits and the Sonys. NC works great in office/inside environments… Very nice for car rides and plane rides and such, but not so good for outside when there is wind blowing (an issue with the Sony’s as well). The wind disrupts the “NC” aspects of the earbuds and can cause more noise… the good thing is you can turn it off and use them like normal TWB. The pass-thru aspect is very nice to have and I find I use it more than I expected. Nice feature.Some grips:- They stay in good with different ear-tips, but not very well with the stock ear-tips.- They don’t have volume control and some of the other aspects of other TWB’s multi-touch button, but I have learned to live with it.I find that:- I carry these FB-NC’s now when I leave the house.- I carry the Flybud 3 now whenever I am going to go do anything active, especially outside where Noise Cancellation is less effective and Noise Isolation is most important… something (noise isolation) the Flybud 3’s do better than any other TWB i have tried- I use my sony’s when I really want to get lost in the music and isolate myself. They are very impressive and create a detailed sound stage that none of the other TWB’s I have tried can do… but again they cost 5 times as much.Hope this helps.

This is a great product. The sound is very good. It has a long lasting charge. I think the charging case is amazing. It’s high quality craftsmanship in this product. And I just discovered I can use it to charge my phone quickly! That’s really cool! However I don’t think the controls on the ear buds are very receptive. You have to tap it, not touch it, and it makes your ear drum feel a little uncomfortable from that vibration of tapping. But I gave it 4/5 because I paid $57.99 just a few days ago, and that was supposed to be a deal from over $67. Now it’s priced down to $49.99 from $57.99 and this changed within a few days. I think this is an excellent product, but this companies pricing tactics are unfair. In other words DON’T CHANGE YOUR PRICES EVERY FEW DAYS! IT’S NOT A FAIR PRACTICE FOR THE CONSUMER. It seems they want to sell many in a short time and that’s why they do it. But when you do this, your last customer who paid a higher price feels ripped off. I don’t feel ripped off by the product, it’s really good, but I don’t like the sellers shady tactics.

I use them for peaceful relaxation while not bothering anyone and they aren’t bothering me.

I would say that these ear buds are very decent for the price. I bought these for use with my work laptop and phone, so not for gym use of music generally. However, I did try them with spotify when I was trying them out and the sound was okay. My sport headphones are Bose and so the sound for the Tribit headphones doesn’t compare and is noticeably tinny and lacks substance, but, for general use they’re really not bad.Noise cancellation is not good.The connection was really easy and they are attractive and compact which is great. They’re initially quite comfortable but I did find after about half an hour to an hour, my ears did feel a bit sore, which I do not experience at all with my Bose headphones. I tried different sized cushions (which are provided with the headphones) which did help a bit to adjust to my ears, but still a bit uncomfortable after a while.I do like that you can use one or the other, while the other headphone is charging in the case. What I mean by that is, you can use the left while the right is charging and then if the battery begins to run low, you can swap and use the right while the left one is charging. You don’t need to have both out of the charge case for the other to charge or to use the ear buds.Again, it’s not really fair to compare these to a more expensive set of ear buds but the point is that I wouldn’t use these for prolonged periods of time or switch to using these as my fave pair of earbuds, or if you’re interested in getting the best sound quality you can for your music… but not bad and a good price for what they are.

I have several earbud earphones but most have problems with fit, security or volume. These earbuds are so comfortable that I forget that I am wearing them and sometimes go away to do something else and only when I find that I can’t hear people speaking to me do I realize I still have the earbuds in. I have several expensive earbuds that I can not increase the volume to a suitable level but these earbuds provide good volume.

There is no reason to ever buy expensive earbuds again because these have the best sound quality I’ve ever heard. Touch controls are simple and easy. I was worried that the lil ear pieces would fit in my weird ears, but they come with soo many sizes so that was a relief. I still wouldn’t wear them for long periods of time as they make my ear ache from the tension. But overall, I will be repurchasing when the ones I have give out.

I love these earbuds. They never come out of my ear, the rubber piece is the best thing. The battery life is approx 6+ hours of watching tv/music. All music is more like 4.5-5 hours.Put back in the case and the earbud charge up in a couple minutes. I don’t need to recharge the case but once every week or 2. And I jave now bought 5 or 6 pairs of these. And each time I buy, they look like better quality.Out of those 6 pairs, I’ve had 1 right ear bud go bad and cut in and out (like wires weren’t connecting properly inside)I use only my right ear bud most times, and this ear bud would’ve been dropped, shoved in work pockets, coat pockets, rolling on the ground cuz I’ve dropped it. These ear buds have taken a beating.I’ve bought multiple pairs so I them everywhere. And I’ve lost 2 pairs already.Down to one pair in the house, 1 in the car, 1 in work bag.Bought 3 pairs on last purchase, took a combined 45 seconds to pair all 3 to my phone.Open lid, “connecting”………………”connected”…..done.I bought a couple extra pairs just I can they stop selling this kind. Don’t want to jave to buy 5+ other earbuds until I find soemthing I like again. These took a while to find. And happy with the price.

So, I’ve had these buds for about a week now. I’ve never had wireless buds, so I don’t know what to compare them to. I had to mess around with the sound on my phone to get it the best sound that I feel is best for my particular sound preference. I paid about $40 or so for them. The case is cool. The buds don’t hurt my ears like the Apple wired ones I have did. I don’t know… I like that I can move around leaving my phone in my room. They say about 10 meters (which is about 30 feet) is the range. If your on a budget, I would say these are pretty good. 🙂 Oh, btw, if you wanted to watch like, YouTube videos, these are perfect.

I just got these, but so far so good. Sound is good, they’re comfortable, and I can lie on my side with them in, which is a big selling point for me. The battery life of both the buds and the case is just incredible. They come with several sizes of ear bud covers and the rubber part that goes around the bud. Since these were advertised as touch control, I of course thought that included volume. I’m disappointed that you have to change volume on the paired device. I think that should have been made clear. I’m keeping them, but I’m unhappy about that.

Bought this for my wife, now is an uneding source of headache for me!Same as other reviews. Worked perfectly at first but after a few months the right side keeps having issues when returned to the case. The red light just keeps flashing. I end having to spend my time playing with it to get it to charge and pair. Sorry I ever bought this. I have spent so much accumulated time on this thing.I was originally thinking to buy one for me… NOT NOW!I’ll stick to the big names, it’s not worth dealing with this things frustrations and issues. I have spent so much time playing with this thing. The name brands just work without the issues or all the waisted time.Avoid this unit, unless your time means nothing to you. Cheap things end up costing you more than the expensive ones!

I’ve had these earbuds for a week now and all I can say is WOW!! They are amazing in all the important ways: 1) ease of putting into ear: absolutely no issues, no wrestling them into my ear canals, and the winglets are awesome at keeping them in there during jogging, without being painful or uncomfortable. Make sure to play with the rubber grommet and winglet options to get a good fit. 2) Sound quality: they are as good or better than the highly-praised (and no longer available it seems) QCY T1 Pro earbuds, which I also own. The entire audible frequency range is represented as it should, with no over or under representation anywhere. 3) Touch control: superior to all of the BT earbuds I own. There is virtually no delay, so you don’t get stuck in this loop of “did I pause the music or not?” only to be touching the earbud again while it’s still processing your first touch. Annoying, and no longer an issue with the Tribits. 4) Comfort after wearing them for a while: really good! With some of my other earbuds, I just want to take them out after 30 minutes to give my ear canals a break. The Tribits are so far setting a new standard in in-ear comfort duration. 5) Price: these buds are superior to anything that Samsung or Apple has to offer, at 1/4 of the price. The Flybuds 3 are my 4th earbuds and are now my go-to buds, by a longshot. 6) Battery life and charging: these things last for so long, and the in-case battery is well above average in size. Going on a long trip or camping with no power? You’re good to go with these. 7) One-step pairing: I didn’t even know this was possible! This feature is so convenient that it’s worth getting these just for that!!No, I didn’t get these from free from Tribit, and am not affiliated in any way with this company. I’m just so, so pleasantly surprised by these buds, especially when there are so many to choose from out there.UPDATE 1 YEAR LATER: Still awesome. The touch delay issue I described above does in fact exist somewhat, but the thing is that the earbuds sense my touch much better than my other BT earbuds, so even with the delay, it’s mostly a non-issue because I don’t find myself thinking “did i touch them to pause the music?”. Secondly, the earbuds aren’t as loud as my T1 Pros, but you know, in the long run I should be thanking the folks at Tribit for keeping my hearing loss at a minimum. After 1 year, the two biggest highlights are: one-step pairing (love this feature and they connect every time!) and 10-minute charging for another 90 minutes of music. Still really loving these and at around $50 CDN, just an amazing deal.

I loved this product when I got it, which was literally only like a month maybe a month and a half ago, they became my main buds infact. Couple days ago the L bud completely stopped working though, which for this price shouldn’t happen. Haven’t tried contacting the seller, figured I would give everyone an honest review instead and eat the cost of it.

I use these almost daily at work and in the gym, and they work GREAT. My only complaint is that they register water and sweat as you touching them, which makes my phone go back to homescreen at random. The battery lasts a long time though, I can get almost 16 hours out of a single charge!
Denae –
I gave 4 stars because music sounds good and they last all day when I’m working. Phone calls are horrible tho.
Luzarrow –
These so far feel amazing to wear and are very comfortable. I wear them to sleep and have had no issues and battery life is very nice as well. Will probably be purchasing another in the future.
