Our testing revealed that paying for expensive big brand headphones can often be a waste of money. To our surprise, our test winner was actually from a smaller company that managed to beat the big brands in both sound quality, ease of use, design, battery life and pricing.

We Bought & Tested The Most Popular Earbuds, Here’s Why BLXBuds is #1

Not all bluetooth earbuds are created equal. There are thousands of brands on the market that vary in price, sound quality, battery life and other features.

It quickly becomes overwhelming trying to make a choice on which ones to buy.

Over the years I have tried most of the bluetooth earbuds on the market. Everything from cheap chinese knock-offs to the more expensive Apple AirPods Pro.

Many of them (even the big brands) can have bad battery life, feel uncomfortable in your ear, awful sound quality, bad microphone or succumbing to moisture damage.

The latest earbuds to hit the market is called BLXBuds and they have won the hearts of consumers all over the world with thousands of five star reviews.

It is a bluetooth headphone that slaps a deep Bass, is comfortable fit in your ear, IPX4 water resistance, smart touch control, and best of all... has true bluetooth stereo.

I was intrigued, and ordered one from their official website. I was super excited to see the package arrive safely just 3 days after I placed my order. It was time to put BLXBuds to the test!

Our Test Results

When I opened the box I immediately saw a difference compared to other headphones. These were perfectly sized, and what I mean by that is, bluetooth headphones either have the long sticks hanging down or the huge ‘bulbs’ sticking out from your ear. But these looked perfect! Nothing would poke out from my ears.

Then let’s look at the charging case. How come no one thought of this before? A charging box that doubles as a power bank! Absolutely genius!

Even though the earbuds looked great and had a clean high tech design as well as a brilliant charging case, I still had to verify sound quality and comfort among many other things.

I tried the BLXBuds on and they felt great, I immediately noticed how silent it was when having them on.

Setup

It couldn’t have been easier to connect them with my smartphone as they immediately showed up on my bluetooth. But then something happened!

Surround Noise Blocking

I mentioned it was quiet before, but now that they were activated, I couldn't hear a thing. I snapped my fingers to confirm what I already knew. The earbud itself will keep surrounding noise out so I could only hear a dull thud as I snapped my fingers!

Superior Sound Quality

Once I played the music, I was truly blown away!

These earbuds produce an even better sound experience than my surround system.

The sound was just as crisp, clear as well as deep and thick as what I thought only a surround system could produce. I have never experienced such mind blowing sound quality!

HD Call

After I had been playing a couple of songs my friend called me and all I had to do was tap gently on the side of my BLXBuds pod and the call went through.

Let me just say I’ve never been so afraid for a split second.

You see the sound of a voice is so delicate that it's obvious when it’s heard through a speaker. But the BLXBuds has such a good tone range that it sounded like my friend was standing right next to me.

Mind-blowing Comfort!

The last test I did was that I went out for a run to see if they could handle the motion as well as testing the battery and comfort of wearing them for longer periods of time.

During the run, I never had to adjust them, and I never got the feeling of being irritated or sore in my ears.

Battery

I have now had the BLXBuds buds in my ears for 3 hours and when I checked the battery via my phone it still has 35% left!

My regular earbuds run out of battery after 2,5 hours, and they’re good! But the BLXBuds can easily double that, as well as it has the charging case. but judging from the strength of the batteries, I will probably charge my phone more then I will charge the BLXBuds.

So there is no doubt in my mind, I am keeping these for myself.

Now, I had the luxury of being able to buy the BLXBuds I reviewed, but for others it might not be so simple.

The Downside

The problem with BLXBuds is that they have become so increasingly popular that the manufacturer has called out that they can barely keep up with demand.

And on top of that, there is an ongoing campaign right now where they have a 50% discount! So it's just a matter of time before they run out.

Furthermore, there are a lot of scams and copycat versions out there trying to leech of BLXBuds’s success. So make sure you get yours from their official website and get them now before they run out of stock.

Purchase and delivery

Purchasing and receiving your BLXBuds couldn't be easier.

To keep prices low, they only sell online from their official website. And they even offer a 30-day money back guarantee so there is absolutely no risk. You can simply send your purchase back for a full refund if you for some reason don’t like music anymore.

Their delivery process is quick and simple as I got mine within 3 days of purchase. I didn’t have to contact their customer support once which I feel is standard these days, so that’s a big plus.
