This was my first experience with the Sennheiser brand, though my husband had heard of them and claimed the brand is "a good one." And after using these Sennheiser Sport True Wireless earbuds, I do agree. The quality is there. First impression on opening up the box they came in was ... "well now, this is very nice." The rectangular case, and earbuds themselves, bear the Sennheiser logo in this pretty rose gold hue. And stored beneath, the replacement ear fins and adapters are neatly presented. Of course, there's an app. And installing the Sennheiser Smart Control App on your mobile device allows you to customize the earbuds. Controls are simple, once you learn them.

Of course, there's an app. And installing the Sennheiser Smart Control App on your mobile device allows you to customize the earbuds. Controls are simple, once you learn them. One of the key features highlighted on the outside box and inside on the instructions is being able to switch out the ear adapters for use with the 'Focus or Aware' options. While I could definitely hear the difference, quite honestly, the Aware option is good enough. There's not that much difference between the two to make switching them out to be all that feasible. Now as far as comfort while wearing these earbuds goes ... this is where my experience with these Sennheiser Sport True Wireless earbuds begins to not be so great. Because of the earbuds' size, being rather large and square, they don't fit in my ears at all comfortably. In fact, quite the opposite. But there's no question they'd stay put, being wedged in there so snugly. It's just that I'm not going to want to use them for any length of time because of this very issue. However, everyone's ears are different, and if you have a larger ear, the size and shape of these Sennheiser earbuds may work out just fine. You may even prefer how this model of earbuds are designed, over the more 'traditional' round or oval varieties you find most often. Audio quality, such as when listening to music, podcasts, videos and for voice calls, is excellent. No issues there, at all. The sound clarity is really quite wonderful. And audio settings can be adjusted, personalized to your specific preferences via the app. There's an included lanyard type cord, which seems totally unnecessary, at least to me. Who would use this? While the magnet which closes the boxy carrying/charging case is strong, I myself would not feel confident having my 'expensive' Sennheiser earbuds dangling from a backpack or purse or belt loop, etc. The magnet could disengage, the lid of the case pop open, and one or both of the earbuds fall out and get lost. That would suck big time. It is a very nice cord, though. So I suppose it could be used for something else. Although these Sennheiser Sport True Wireless earbuds are really rgood, they just aren't going to work for me. But I can highly recommend them if they will fit your ear comfortably.

The Sennheiser Sport True Wireless In-Ear Headphones produce crisp and balanced audio, but they are bulky, cumbersome, and lack feature options. I personally do not like these earbuds. Not only are the earbuds bulky, but the case is so big that it looks like a camping cooler. They do have a balanced and punchy sound profile, but they simply do not fit well in my ears. Even with the smallest rubber tips and shortest rubber fins, they do not stay in place within my admittedly small ear canals. They do fit in my wife’s ears, but she agrees that they are not particularly comfortable. She also states that the call quality is average, yet passable. My main disappointment comes from the Focus & Aware modes - which do not work well. Instead of using the microphones to play ...

They do fit in my wife’s ears, but she agrees that they are not particularly comfortable. She also states that the call quality is average, yet passable. My main disappointment comes from the Focus & Aware modes - which do not work well. Instead of using the microphones to play outside noise to increase situational awareness, the Sennheiser Sport comes with two sets of rubber tips. The Open set of tips allows more ambient noise to pass through into your ears while the Closed set of tips blocks more ambient noise. The app can cycle between “Focus” and “Aware” modes, but I cannot tell what is actually changing other than perhaps minor adjustments to the equalizer settings. If you want earbuds that will increase your situational awareness for running, working out, or for holding conversations without removing the earbuds - I do not recommend this set. I would instead look for earbuds that feature audio pass-through that can be triggered via the touch screen controls. For a brief time I was incredibly impressed with the bass quality which is stronger than any of the other dozen or so earbuds I have tried. Interestingly, I discovered that the “bass” was the result of wearing the “Closed” rubber tips while the app was in “Aware” mode. Once I selected the matching “Focus” mode with the “Closed” rubber tips, the bass was reduced significantly. So, if you love strong bass, use the “Closed” tips with the “Aware” mode for an increased bass experience. Ultimately these are decent Sport earbuds. If you have never experienced problems with the fit of earbuds, these will stay in place and sound great. They have superior battery life and the bulky case will not be as big of a deal when they are simply being tossed into a gym bag. But, if you are a runner and you want to improve your situational awareness in a city environment, the audio pass-through simply does not work well enough. I would also not recommend these for use at work due to limited comfort. PROS: + Audio Quality + Battery Life + Charges using USB-C connection + Sweat & Splash Resistant + Touch Controls are easy to use and work well + Extensive Rubber Tip & Rubber Fin options + Smart Control App allows Equalizer and button customization + App’s “Sound Check” feature aids the user in finding ideal equalizer settings CONS: - Uncomfortable fit for those with smaller ear canals - Can only be paired to a single source at a time - No active noise cancellation - “Aware Mode” requires changing the rubber tips and does not work well - Bulky sized earbuds - Bulky case - Case does not have wireless charging capabilities

Sennheiser is a brand that I’ve known of for years, but for some reason I’ve never tried. After experiencing these earbuds, I definitely wonder why I haven’t. At this price point the sound they produce is better than some earbuds I’ve tried at almost twice the price. From country to rap, I never felt like I was missing anything from each genre. When you have music that you’re looking for highs and mids they deliver and the do it cleanly. When it’s bass, they give it to you but it’s not overpowering to where it muddies the sound. If the sound out of the box isn’t to your liking, the app allows you to create custom EQ settings. The app also gives you the ability to change the functions of the touch controls or disable them as well as other things. One of the best ...

One of the best features in my opinion of any earbuds is if they can be used independent of each other and I’m happy to say they can. And not just for music but also calls as both buds have mics. This is a great feature especially if you use them for calls, as if one dies you can swap it out for the other. Fit is subjective, but in my experience they’re comfortable in my ears. Sennheiser provides 6 different pairs of ear tips and 4 different pairs of ear fins to help you get that perfect fit. Along with that, they provide a lanyard and a small USB-C cable for charging. Sennheiser delivers a set of earbuds that punch above their price especially in terms of sound. If you need a set of earbuds that prioritize sound quality over other features and don’t have a big budget, don’t pass these up.

If you’re looking for a pair of sport headphones that are great during workouts, aren’t going to fall out, and are easy to carry around, these will probably work. If you’re also looking for comprehensive EQ tuning, loud sound and unchallenged comfort, may want to keep looking. To be fair, these aren’t bad headphones. They do sound good. I’m not an audiophile but bass was present, but at it’s max, left a little wanting. Vocals came through clearly, but I felt like to get the sound I wanted, I had to sacrifice mids or highs. I know earbuds aren’t supposed to be as good as over the ear headphones that I’m used to, so these may work for just fine for the frequent gym goer or morning jogger.

I’m not an audiophile but bass was present, but at it’s max, left a little wanting. Vocals came through clearly, but I felt like to get the sound I wanted, I had to sacrifice mids or highs. I know earbuds aren’t supposed to be as good as over the ear headphones that I’m used to, so these may work for just fine for the frequent gym goer or morning jogger. Let’s get into the things I like. The headphones come in a matt black with just the Sennheiser logo. The case snaps open and close and is easy to get the headphones out. It also comes with usb c charging (everything should at this point) and has a nice rubber cover to keep any dirt or dust out of it which is something I’ve had a problem with on other pocket charging cases. It comes with several tips, 3 different sizes for both the passive noise canceling and the open ear “ambient” noise tips. Each ear bud comes with 4 “wings” to help hold it in your ear, including a “wingless” one that uses the friction of the rubber to hold it in place. I found that the small wing worked fine for me and, although slightly uncomfortable, would not come out. I could use the “wingless” band but found that with enough force, they would eventually shake out. The touch controls are very easy to use and are remappable if you don’t like the way the default ones are setup. I’m OK with the comfort. Earbuds that are designed to stick in your ears during work outs and exercises aren’t supposed to come out. I would expect with a certain level of retention there to be some “grabbyness” to the wing tips and the way it fits in your ear. They’re actually fine for a 30-40 minute period. After that though, I start to get some fatigue where the wing tip grabs the fold of my ear. These do look good in the ear and I actually enjoy the sporty look. The passive noise canceling works well enough. With music playing most quieter sounds go unnoticed, while louder sounds are going to be noticed. I’m just not sure how much harder it would have been to add active noise canceling to these headphones. There is a tuning option depending on which ear tips you have on. It does change the sound but I’m not sure how much adjusting the noise profile helps with the passive noise canceling. I know the headphones sound a lot better on the open ear setting. The most disappointing feature is the sound. I’ve not owned Sennheiser headphones or earbuds, but I know the name as one of the industry's leading manufacturers of quality sound products. Not only are they not loud enough for me, but the default sound EQ also doesn’t have the bass I like to have when listening to music. Increasing the bass seems like it muddles out some of the mids and highs and when you only have 3 sliders to tune with, customization is just limited. I don’t think these are bad earbuds, they’re just not for me. I think if we had more control over the max volume and a bit more flexibility in the equalizer, I would have enjoyed them a lot more. They’re super easy to workout in and the design and build quality are on par with other top earbuds.
These earbuds sound amazing there is no doubt about that but it took me almost an hour just to connect these earbuds properly to my phone and the secondly, I was missing the open and closed or “Focus or Aware” ears tip with my unit, so I was only able to test out the earbuds with the tips that were on the set which were the “Aware” or the open tips. Unboxing and Setup: In the box you are supposed to receive pair of earbuds, Open and Closed (S, M, L) ear adapters, Ear Fins, charging case with lanyard, USB-C cable and a quick start guide. Unfortunately, I was missing a few items so, I did the best I could with what I had. Next came the setup process, you will need to download the Sennheiser Smart Control application. This is where I started having issues. My earbuds ...

Unboxing and Setup: In the box you are supposed to receive pair of earbuds, Open and Closed (S, M, L) ear adapters, Ear Fins, charging case with lanyard, USB-C cable and a quick start guide. Unfortunately, I was missing a few items so, I did the best I could with what I had. Next came the setup process, you will need to download the Sennheiser Smart Control application. This is where I started having issues. My earbuds would connect and then disconnect automatically on their own and they kept doing that for a little bit, so I ended up doing a factory reset on the application and restarted the phone, they finally connected and stayed connected. I thought that my issues were over, but no that was only the beginning, then came the software update which was estimated to take about 19 minutes to complete per the app but it took a whole lot longer. First, I kept having issues with the update installation, which I had to restart about 3 times and when it finally was able to complete the installation it took almost 40 minutes to install. I have never seen any earbuds take that long just to install a software update. Believe me I nearly gave up on these earbuds before I even tested them out. But, not everything about these earbuds was bad. Once the update process was complete I was finally able to listen to some music and it sounded amazing. You will have to adjust the equalizer to your liking but once you get that perfect setting, you will not want to take them off. Comfort and Fit: As far as comfort goes the earbuds are not bad at all. The medium ear adapter that was on the ear buds was actually pretty comfortable to wear to extended periods, there was no pressure or pain in the ear canal and with the tip the ear buds sat pretty securely in the ear, I would recommend that you test out all the ear tips for a secure fit before working out with the buds. I was able to wear them on a run and I did not have to worry about them falling out. So, as far as comfort and Fit goes, they are solid. I can also tell you that they are sweat resistant and that the touch controls respond well even with wet finger tips. Touch Controls and Battery Life: The touch controls respond really well both dry and wet. The controls are customizable and can be turned off as well. I particularly liked the volume controls where you press and hold the right earbud for volume up and left for volume down. The battery life is not bad on the unit either. After using these for about an hour I was down about 10 percent. The earbuds have about a 9-hour battery life and a total of 27 hours with the charging case. The charging case can be charged with he provided USB-C cable but unfortunately lacks wireless charging, which is not a deal breaker but a really nice option to have. Call Quality and Clarity: No complaints in this section either. I made a few test calls with the earbuds and they were crystal clear on both ends. Touch controls are also available for the calls as well, but cannot be customized. Aside from the issues that I had these earbuds are really not that bad. The sound quality is amazing. They fit comfortably and securely in the ear and the touch control options worked just fine. I am not sure if the update was to fix the connection issues but it does not seem to be happening anymore. I was unable to test out the adaptable acoustics, focus option due to not having the ear adapters. I did test out the Aware mode which worked OK. The Aware option is just a transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings and the Focus mode is suppose to block out the sounds, but these do not have active noise cancellation. Overall, for the price point these earbuds are not bad at all, and I would recommend these you check them out if you are in the market.
I am an audio junkie, continually in pursuit of audio excellence. I own and have used headsets, headphones, and earbuds from nearly every major audio manufacturer in nearly every price range and wired or wireless configuration possible – 6.35mm and 3.5mm, USB A and C, every generation of Bluetooth, and proprietary wireless audio devices. Sennheiser isn’t the only brand I use but suffice to say they are a recurring theme. When I’m home or at work I prefer studio level wired headsets, but when I need to be on the go I prefer to ditch the bulk and cables for the convenience of buds that can be more easily pocketed when not in use. For the last couple of years Pixel Buds 2 (PB2) have been my mobile mainstay, and Sennheiser HD1 Free as my primary before those (and the ...

I own and have used headsets, headphones, and earbuds from nearly every major audio manufacturer in nearly every price range and wired or wireless configuration possible – 6.35mm and 3.5mm, USB A and C, every generation of Bluetooth, and proprietary wireless audio devices. Sennheiser isn’t the only brand I use but suffice to say they are a recurring theme. When I’m home or at work I prefer studio level wired headsets, but when I need to be on the go I prefer to ditch the bulk and cables for the convenience of buds that can be more easily pocketed when not in use. For the last couple of years Pixel Buds 2 (PB2) have been my mobile mainstay, and Sennheiser HD1 Free as my primary before those (and the HD1 Free still serves me well, just not as often) and AirPod Gen 1 before that. I love the audio quality, comfort, and controls of the older HD1 Free but have since become drawn to the true-wireless trend. I saw these then and considered it was time to give Sennheiser another go, and will compare them mostly to my older Sennheiser HD1 Free buds. Audio quality: In terms of real world audio quality I’d rate these as good but, overall, as just a notch below my HD1s. HD1s were fantastic at producing an overall nuanced soundscape but I’d give the Sports the nod on the low end, probably due to their larger driver/port size. Keep in mind that the Sport buds come by default with the “open” gels installed which are great for maintaining environmental awareness at the expense of some audio fidelity. If you use these while moving about the open gels (and corresponding app sound settings) are recommended. When you’re more stationary or just want increased passive audio isolation then the “closed” gels and settings are preferred and will give you generally better sound. The Sports were very comfortable after some tweaking – and this will be a very subjective experience for each user. Out of the box the Sport will have “fins” attached, and these are great for helping to secure the buds in the ear for more active use. I used them while playing basketball with my family and at no time did they even remotely feel like they were coming loose. That said, I also found that the fins increased ear fatigue which could really be felt after an hour or so. I’d recommend the fins then for short active sessions, but for longer more casual listening sessions – when watching an entire movie for example – you might find it more comfortable to remove the fins entirely. Without the fins I could wear the Sports for up to 8 hours, nearly a full work day, before starting to feel ear fatigue, though granted they are also a bit less secure in the ear if you rely on just the gels for active use. The touch controls are fully functional, with everything from track skipping (forward and back), volume control, and activating your phone’s digital assistant whether Siri or Google. I had to learn the Sennheiser tap-patterns of course, but they are intuitive. The charging case is the one “negative” in that it, compared to others, is rather bulky. Whereas my AirPod and PB2 cases are rounded and nearly disappear even when in a front pocket, the Sports case is blocky and relatively large, nearly twice the size of my other bud cases (see comparison photos attached) – you’ll definitely see and feel it in your pocket. This isn’t a showstopper, just know that these aren’t as subtle as what you may be used to or expecting. I think Sennheiser knows this and so they include a short lanyard as an option. Overall I'm happy with these, though I’ll probably lean more toward keeping these in my backpack as a backup, and for use with my laptop on-the-go rather than my phone due to the relative bulk of the charging case. Still, they sound great and their passive isolation (with the closed-style gels) is better than my PB2s.
These earbuds are a little bigger than some of the other earbuds I have had, yet they don't feel any heavier. The comfort is a little off at first while wearing these buds, as they need to fit pretty snug for the proper acoustics, and so that they don't fall out during workouts, or other activities. However you do get used to them, and it's a nice point of relief to know that you aren't going to have to go searching for them if you turn your head too quickly. Once you get used to them, it's easy to forget you even have them in. The sound is very clear during phone calls, and the 4 mics do an excellent job at transferring your voice to the other caller clearly. The Sidetone feature gives you an audio feedback of your own voice so that you are not raising your voice ...

However you do get used to them, and it's a nice point of relief to know that you aren't going to have to go searching for them if you turn your head too quickly. Once you get used to them, it's easy to forget you even have them in. The sound is very clear during phone calls, and the 4 mics do an excellent job at transferring your voice to the other caller clearly. The Sidetone feature gives you an audio feedback of your own voice so that you are not raising your voice or yelling in an effort to hear yourself talk. Most people don't realize how important that feedback is when using a headphone system, until they either see someone else doing it, or someone else clues them in that they are yelling. The Sidetone feature can be turned on or off through the phone app, and offers two levels of feedback. While I didn't notice it advertised, I have been able to use the earbuds one at a time. Each earbud offers the assistant feature, plus the buttons can be programmed as needed with the mfr app, so you should be able to add whatever features you use most to either bud. The app doesn't offer a ton of functionality, but it does give you preset EQ settings, a custom EQ setting and custom button functionality. The button actions can be swapped around (as noted before) or disabled. It also lets you switch between the "Aware" and "Focus" features. The charging case also seems just a little bulkier than the others, but the earbuds and the case can provide you with 27 hours of use. Each bud can last for around 9 hours. These buds do offer a type of rapid charging, giving you an hour's worth of play from just a ten minute charge. The case because it is a little bulky does come with a lanyard, so you can hang it from other things like a belt loop, bicycle bars, backpacks or other items. However the lanyard is too small to fit around your head and wear around your neck. The adaptive sound system is pretty interesting with the 2 modes: focus mode ( which tries to reduce outside noises) and the aware mode ( which lets more ambient noise in). The aware mode reproduces the outside noises and includes them into whatever you are listening to. The focus mode doesn't repeat any outside noises, so the earbud by itself cancels out a lot of the surrounding noises. To further emphasize these two modes, Sennheiser includes two different types of earbud adapters( the inner ear rubber piece). One of the two types is lighter (the "open" adapter)and lets more sound pass through it, the other is more dense (the "closed" adapter)and blocks out more of the ambient noises. You would think that the best sound experience would be from the focus mode with the "closed" earbud adapters, but honestly I prefer the sound quality and bass from the "closed" adapter and the "aware" mode. For me, for some reason the bass seems to get lost in the focus mode especially with the closed adapters. There are a few different combinations to choose from, and each has their bonuses for using. Another thing that I have noticed is that placement of how these buds are angled into your ear canal is crucial. Make sure you are using the correct size adapters and fins, because otherwise you might not have a tight enough fit, or the speakers could be angled in the wrong direction, instead of centered down the ear canal. If the sound just doesn't sound right, then there is a good chance things are not lined up. Try holding and angling the buds into different positions for the best enhanced sound, with the correct adapters and fins it should stay in that position. These are sweat and water resistant, however large drops of water can trigger the touch buttons on the earbuds Overall these earbuds offer a great variety of options on how you can listen to your music, podcasts, stories or calls. With the right EQ setting, earbud adaptes, and mode you should be able to accommodate any type of audio under any circumstances. The audio levels can max out at 110dbs and can produce bass good enough to feel the impact.
Sennheiser is a great audio brand, and these ear buds live up to the Sennheiser reputation. First things first, these sound great, especially for a true wireless set of earbuds. The vocals are crisp and clear, an the bass is full without being muddled or overpowering the midranges. They aren't going to make a true audiophile happy, but for most users, especially those who are using these for running or working out at the gym, these will be a welcome addition to your audio collection. Battery life is good, but not spectacular. I was able to get around 6 hours of continuous use before I needed to recharge. I do listen at a loud volume, so for those who listen at a more reasonable level, you may get more battery life. I took one star off for two reasons- number one is ...

I do listen at a loud volume, so for those who listen at a more reasonable level, you may get more battery life. I took one star off for two reasons- number one is the open vs closed gel tips for focus vs aware modes. This is a really finicky way to add functionality that other buds offer using software. It doesn't really work as well as advertised, and it's a pain to have to swap and keep up with an extra set of tips. The second knock against these is the size. They feel huge in my ears, and even with the fins attached, they didn't feel secure. I never had an issue with them falling out, but the size was just bulky and distracting. Overall, these are great sounding and a decent price, but there are a few quirks that may not make them the best choice for everyone, especially if you have smaller ears.
I like the affordability of these ear buds, especially from a brand name like Sennheiser. I've used a lot of wireless ear buds in the past and it was nice to get these guys and see what they could do. They have a good set of features, and the sound quality was really good. The charging case is fine, nothing we haven't seen before but it does have a lanyard ring on it. I'm not sure why anyone would use something like this but it does come with a lanyard as well. Maybe it's just to be able to keep tabs on them, but I can't see someone walking around with the case attached to their wrist. There's a covered USB connection on the rear for charging and a single small LED on the front for status. When I opened the box I found a nice assortment of rubber tips and also fins ...

Maybe it's just to be able to keep tabs on them, but I can't see someone walking around with the case attached to their wrist. There's a covered USB connection on the rear for charging and a single small LED on the front for status. When I opened the box I found a nice assortment of rubber tips and also fins to help fine tune the fit. Initially, I found the fit to be awkward and not something I could get comfortable with for extended use. There are two sets of tips. One is for the “Focus” mode and the other is for the “Aware” mode. Not sure why there are two different sets depending on the mode you choose. I had no trouble pairing and using them without the associated app, but downloading it lets you switch between the two modes. It also offers a limited (3 band) equalizer and shows you details about your charge status, etc.. It will also allow you to update the firmware, which is one of the first things it wanted to do. The fit, with various tip and fin sizes and lots of patience swapping them all out to try to find the correct size was a little tedious, but I played around with the in ear placement and I was able to get them in a good position. I think my original trouble with the fit was because I was pushing them in too far. Despite their blocky shape and size, I found them to be quite comfortable. This is something that most ear buds suffer from but it's the thing that will make or break a set of buds. As far as the sound, I think a lot depends on the music app you choose to use. I always use my PowerAmp app which also includes a much more comprehensive equalizer and a preamp for boosting the volume past normal levels. One complaint I constantly read about ear buds in general, is that they lack adequate volume, but this can be easily corrected with a good music player app. Once I found an “acceptable” fit, I thought the sound quality was really good. In fact they handled my higher volume levels and extended low end setting without any problem at all, and never sounded anything but clean regardless of the style of music I chose. I was really surprised at the sound pressure levels they are able to reproduce, and that's a really big plus. One thing I will say, the sloped shape of the body on each bud makes them difficult to pull out of the case. There's nothing to aide your grip on them and they have a relatively smooth texture. I much preferred the Focus mode over the Aware mode. The sound seemed more direct and accurate to me. It was somewhat difficult to actually do a direct comparison between the two modes though because you need to pull each one out and swap the tips to use the other mode. A bit clunky, but most people will in all likelihood find the mode they prefer and just stick with it. It's good they have sweat and splash resistance, which is also a plus. The sound quality is really good when you find the correct fit. The medium tips were too small to get the right fit but the large tips were a little too big. I ultimately opted for them though because they offered the better bass response, and as with any ear buds, you really need to get them in correctly for the best sound. The touch controls were responsive and intuitive and it seemed natural to me how they were set up. These are great sounding buds for an affordable price. Well done Sennheiser!
After picking up these earbuds, I was excited to get these in my ears to see how well they perform. The fit of these earbuds are pretty good. The fins that are included are very important for ensuring the buds stay securely in your ears when active. I was a little skeptical of how well these would stay in my ears since the fins were smaller than I'm used to compared to my Jaybird Vistas, but they sure held up! The ear tips included fit well once I played with them to find the right one for my ear. While there is no active noise cancellation built into these earbuds, they rely on the "open" and "closed" design of the included ear tips for a more passive approach to noise cancellation. Not as convenient, but they do an okay job I suppose. Audio quality is honestly ... MoreAfter picking up these earbuds, I was excited to get these in my ears to see how well they perform.

Not as convenient, but they do an okay job I suppose. Audio quality is honestly where these earbuds shine. They sounds amazing, especially once you get into the equalizer settings in the Sennheiser Smart Control app. There are various presets that you can use as a baseline, or you can create your own equalizer adjustments. Speaking of the Smart Control app, you are really going to want to use this to personalize your earbuds experience other than equalization settings. You can set what touch controls do and perform firmware updates. The charging case is a bit bulkier than I would have expected, but it is what it is. There is a cover on the back of the charging case that you will use to charge the case/buds via USB-C. The case does not support wireless charging like more advanced/expensive earbuds are capable of doing. Overall, these are really good earbuds for the price. They sound great and perform well. They should be something to consider if you want something that fits an active lifestyle.
