For controls, you can press the earbud for two seconds to toggle ANC on or off, or switch to transparent mode. Tap three times to activate the voice assistant, twice to navigate through tracks, or once to play and pause music or answer a call. Unfortunately, you can not adjust the volume with these earphones. Pros

Rich soundActive noise-cancelingAffordable

Cons

No volume adjustment

You can toggle between ANC, ambient sound, and normal mode by tapping and holding the left earbud. For only 10 minutes of quick charging, Earfun promises two hours of playback. These earbuds are IPX5, making them sweat and water-resistant. Pros

Light and well-fittingActive noise-canceling for an affordable price

Cons

IPX5 doesn’t include dust-resistancemic quality could be better

For battery life, two hours of charging time for its 2,200mAh battery, on average, delivers up to 24 hours playback at medium volume. Pros

24 hours playback timeWill automatically sleep after 15 minutes of inactivityJust as durable as it is portable

Cons

Quiet for a 15W speaker

When testing, the bass was superb, and mid and high ranges were crisp and clear. The MaxSound Plus has an XBass button on top if you like that hard-hitting, thumping bass. The only thing missing is the ability to pair two speakers together. Still, this speaker is certainly worth the price. Pros

Extra loud soundIPX7 waterproof

Cons

Charging takes longer than similarly sized speakersCan be a tad cheaper

Simple to operate, you can adjust the volume, play and pause music, use the voice assistant, and answer calls using one of the four areas on the right ear cup. More notable is the design of these headphones. They come in a plethora of fun and poppy colors (Orange/green is my favorite) and the overall listening experience is just as good. I will say that S2 headphones might be a little tight for you if you have a larger-sized head.

Pros

Active noise cancelingClear sound across all ranges

Cons

Could feel tight on larger heads

If you struggle with putting objects in your ear or feel discomfort, then over-ear headphones or Bluetooth speakers should be your go-to choice. Some of these earbuds are low cost and have fewer features than higher cost models. However, for the price, the sound quality was excellent, and playing time and charging capability was good. Some of the devices have extra features such as the ability to adjust the volume in the ear buds and to modify the active noise cancelling settings. This entire range of audio devices have little distortion – even with the cheaper models. If price is not an issue, then the Tribit MaxSound Plus Bluetooth speaker are certainly worth a try – especially if you like a loud immersive experience when listening to music.
