I know these are $60 earbuds but the price didn’t play any real factor into my review of these earbuds as I have and am willing to pay for more expensive earbuds, just a bonus. I believe earbuds are very objective devices like shoes or sunglasses. What maybe best for one person or group of people will not suit others. I have smaller ears so the great functioning and sounding Sony WF-1000XM4 didn’t fit well in my ears, even after a week of attempting to get use them. I’ve tried probably 15-20 wired and wireless earbuds and wasn’t satisfied with any of them to keep them.

I am not an audiophile so these sound good enough for me for listening to music throughout my day, video, and phone calls. The other end of the call thought my voice sounded very clear and close and I heard the other end quiet well. I use these buds throughout my working day on/off without any battery issue.

I enjoy the earbuds multipoint ability to connect to my phone and laptop at the same time and auto switch without me clicking on anything. I tested the waterproof by showering with them. I appreciate my Android phone showing the battery life of the left, right, and charging case. It supports USB-C and wireless charging so super convenient.

The Bluetooth range is probably one of the best that I’ve tried. Most earbuds would lose connection to my phone or laptop after I walk about 5-6 feet away if there are stucco walls in between but these somehow managed to keep the connection even on different floor in my home.

The earbuds are lightweight and is relatively comfortable where I don’t have to pull them out of my ears because of pain unlike others I have tried.

There is noise cancellation and it does work some but I would recommend you steer away from these earbuds if ANC is a big factor in your search for earbuds as these are NOT it. I actually prefer ambient noise and these do an mediocre job at this as well. Overall, these earbuds have these features but neither are the top of the reasons to get them, if not the reasons to avoid them if they are important to you.

The earbuds support playback control, call control, and voice but lacks volume control (I could be wrong on the volume control).

I download and installed the Lenovo “Smart Wearable” app by Beijing Lenovo Software co., Ltd. after scanning the app for malware because I doubted that it was a authentic and legit app as it had no reviews or signs that it was a legit app. The app allows you to update the firmware, “Find My Earbuds” by making them both ring, Settings (Auto-Off, Auto Play Pause, Voice Activated Assistance, ANC mode), and Equalizer (Extra Bass, Natural, Vocal, Jazz, Treble, and Custom).

I honestly would pay much 3x higher for these earbuds so $60 is just a big bonus. I am not saying these are the best for anything specific but overall they are the best for me for all the above reasons. They are definitely worth a try to see if they work well for you as they do for me. Good luck.

The simultaneous sync to two devices works fluidly and is excellent. The convenience factor from this alone is just amazing. It really works, and works well, and works reliably. The sound quality is pretty decent, but don’t expect it to be on the level of stuff from actual high-end audio brands (the sound quality, for example, does not measure up to my old Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless buds). The main issue I ran into, however, is audio lag. I find the sound is a split second behind video when watching stuff in Youtube, or Disney+, or Prime Video, which is not there when I use other buds (like the aforementioned Sennheisers). So these buds are excellent for day to day use, especially for stuff like video conferencing and working across a multi-device ecosystem, but for media consumption or critical listening/watching, the audio lag is distracting. I watched and read multiple, “professional,” product reviews around the web prior to purchasing, and not a single one mentioned this audio lag. I tested it on multiple source devices (a Microsoft Surface notebook and also a Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 tablet) and there was an audio lag on all of the test sources with these buds that was not present with my other, control set of buds, so it is consistent.

Please note also that my pair came with the 1.1.0 firmware out of the box, and the multi-device pairing didn’t work right out of the box because while it worked fine with the first device I synced to, it would supposedly sync to the second device but no sound would play to it, but once I updated the firmware on the device to 1.4, it then worked flawlessly for multiple device sync, so be sure to update it to the latest firmware by using an Android phone or tablet (Lenovo does not provide a Windows-based app for these buds). I suppose you can also use the iOS app to do it, but if you are on iOS, why aren’t you just using Apple Airpods?

Audio quality is superb. 5 stars for multipoint feature. Multi point feature is better than what you get in other devices in the market with such feature. The key difference lies in the fact that I don’t have to hit ‘disconnect’ on a previously paired device to connect to a new device. For example, if I am already connected to 2 devices, and would like to connect from a third device now, I can just hit ‘connect’ from that third device and these earbuds are smart enough to give up connection from one of the two previously connected devices. That is the most important feature for me because I have 5 or 6 devices that I have, and hate to go hit on ‘disconnect’ from one of the two previously connected devices to be able to connect from this new one. Many products on the market that advertise ‘multipoint’ feature do not have this feature. On top of that, there is no clarity on that specific ability in their product listings. I had to try a few brands to figure out that very few brands have such feature. Lenovo is one of them and Bose is the other as far as I know. I have an old model of Beats that also has this feature, but not sure if the new ones do. I hope Lenovo also adds more clarity in their product description regarding this feature which many people like me look for. There is some mention of seamless connections, but no clarity on whether a connection from third device works seamlessly.

Finally, regarding the microphone quality, Lenovo could do a little better. The quality is okay and other person can hear you, but I wouldn’t say it is the best. Lenovo can improve on that a bit more, and that is the only reason I am giving this a 4-star vs an otherwise 5-star review.
