Monster Wireless Earbuds Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones with CVC 8.0 Noise Reduction, IPX8 Waterproof in-Ear Stereo Earphones, Bluetooth Earbuds for Sport

Amazing Buds!
As a diehard SkullCandy fan, I didn’t really want to try these out, but seeing them on sale, I went for it. Beat decision ever! These things sound absolutely amazing for the price! Even if I’d payed full price! On top of the sound quality, they connected to my phone immediately! Zero issues! Sorry, SkullCandy, but these are fantastic!

Some things to consider [
While the buds are great sounding and the fit is perfect, there are a couple of usability things you might want to consider…
THE GOOD:
> Yes the battery life is good 7+hr listening time. A 1hr call will drain about 30%. – pretty standard for a good batt life.
> Calls reported as being crystal clear from the other end.
> The case is nice – inspired by the air pods pro
> Fit in the ear is comfy, I have had zero pain points present themselves over routine use
> Bluetooth delay is nearly unnoticeable, much better than the last pair I had
> Ear tips are good sizes and quality, the ones that come on it fit the best (med) and I like them more than the ‘medical silicone’ spin fits I usually use. They are short height compared to others, and are ‘keyed’ so they wont spin on the post and seem to stay planted once attached.
> The EQ profile is very nice overall. Fairly wide ranged and balanced without too much at any end.
THE GRIPES:
> THE VOICE AND BEEPS on connect/disconnect and other bud status notifications are WAY TOO LOUD… WAY TOO LOUD. There simply is no excuse other than negligence for overlooking the volume level they set up for the built-in voice and there is no way to change it. By far it’s the loudest I’ve ever heard – like full volume, and nearly hurts. I just have to remember to pull them out of my ears or leave them in the case for 3 seconds while pairing/connecting. This is the main bother I have.
> There is no multipoint. No 2 devices may be paired at the same time, you must disconnect and then connect to the other… this is also an extension of gripe 1.
> These register as standard audio devices, they are not classified as HD audio devices.
> No Apt-X, LDAC or other dac support even though the same chipset does support it. I’ll never understand why any manufacturer wouldn’t take advantage of this if they went through the trouble to integrate the tech in the product, just silly to me.
Update May the 2nd ’23:
I see some ppl say this has noise cancellation… They do not — CVC is not noice cancellation, it filters external noise during a phone call so your voice come through clearly, the ‘clarity’ in the product name. It does work very well.
I’ve learned to work around the loud built-in voice. Seriously, despite some of shortcomings listed above — these things kick ass. Batteries are still going strong a 7+ hours continuous (might be a result of not having all the bells and whistles).
If you’re after a high quality product and don’t need anything state-of-the-art right now, these cannot be beat.

Good sound quality!
So far so good. I had to change the buds to a smaller size and it’s easier to keep in my ear now. I wear hearing aids so I’m sure that makes a difference with fit, but they did include replacements so that was good. Very good sound quality and a great price. Charging speed was kinda slow, but then I’ve never had these before so don’t know what to expect. I’m pleased with them and, so far, would recommend.

These Monster Wireless Earbuds have been solid for my workouts and daily use. The sound quality is above average. They provide a great listening experience, whether I’m on a jog or taking calls. One thing I appreciate is the noise reduction which helps block out background noise, making calls clear.
A helpful tip: if you do intense workouts or spend time outdoors, you’ll like that these earbuds are waterproof and sweat proof. I’ve used them in the rain and during gym sessions without any issues.
Battery life is another highlight I want to add. With at least 60 hours of playtime, I rarely need to worry about charging. If I forget, a quick 10-minute charge gives me around 1.5 – 2 more hours of use. This has saved me a couple of times when I needed my earbuds but didn’t have time for a full charge.
The Bluetooth connection is stable, and I’ve had no issues with latency while watching videos or listening to music. Plus, the smart controls on each earbud make it easy to adjust volume or answer calls without having to grab my phone.
For those who struggle with finding the right fit, the earbuds come with 3 different sizes, so you can find one that’s comfortable and stays put during exercise. I also love the compact design as it easily fits in my pocket, making it convenient to carry around.

For an item of convenience; main plus is that it can last up to 8hr at one go. Bonus; the carrier adds an additional 40+ hours to it.
Having an IP x8 water resistant rating is great.
The music playback is clear and decent.

I got these on the monster Monster sale they were having, picked ’em up for $40. Can’t complain getting a $149 headphone for $110 off lol. I got these specifically because they’re IPX8, which I’d been searching for. I want earphones I can use for long relaxing showers lol. Definitely not their intended use, and I wouldn’t condone it, but hey, for $40 who cares if they stop working. My watch is IPX8 and it’s been fine in the shower, so I assume these will be too. Only downside is touch controls don’t play well with water, but these have actually been fine. These were going to be primarily for showering, but have already replaced my JBL’s for everyday use. They sound nice. Bassy, with clear highs. My only gripes would be: no matter the volume these are set at, the woman that says “CONNECTED” is frickin’ loud. Even once connected, if you turn the volume down, she will still be screaming at you. It’s rather annoying. 2nd, the earphones themselves actually look and feel rather cheap, I was surprised (not for $40, but I’d be annoyed if I’d spent $149). The case feels okay, but only one indicator light? For $149??? Crazy. Haven’t run it out yet, so not sure how to tell case battery level. Maybe different color? Idk.
But overall they’re good, definitely best in the price range I bought them for. Battery life for the phones themselves has been good, connects to multiple devices (odd way of doing it, no pair button press at all, you need to turn Bluetooth off the already connected device to force them into pairing to a 2nd device… Again, odd for $149 earphones). Overall, 5 stars for $40 phones, 3 stars if bought for $149, averages to 4 stars total.
