Greater than one weekThe HTC tws 2+ are buds have a sound profile which is almost startling at this price point. It is clean, balanced, detailed with a tonality which is very accurate. They fit well and are comfortable, dont fall out, BUT I would not personally trust them jogging, or in my case, working in my garden. They do not have fins, or anything which keep them securely in your ears. That is basically my only complaint, besides how difficult it is to get information.. {I lost the 2 tiny pieces of paper which came with these: the warranty and quick start guide.} I bring this up because it is practically impossible to get that guide in English, so do not lose it, at least if you want to know how to use the touch pads. As it turns out, there is a small chart in English in the middle of their Finnish manual/ quick start guide.... and it is fairly simple, straight forward, which is refreshing (that you do not have to remember 20 gestures, combinations of taps and holds) although... even simple things do require 2 or 3 taps or a combination of taps and holds, so that guide is useful. They are bluetooth 5.3, in fact the first use of 5.3 I have seen. They do not have aptx, aptx hd or ldac, which may be all that separates these from the best, in terms of sound quality. Most impressive at this price point. They hold their own against most buds under $200. I woulds love to report specs, though like most lately, they can not be found. I would guess that they have full (audio frequency) range: 20hz-20mhz, BUT this is only a guess. The sound is clean and balanced. High, mids and lows are all good and do not go mushy or fuzzy or tinny when you push the volume. In other words, there is no indication of a clipped range, like.... some of the most popular brands. They work with your phone, and assistants as well. Not tested because I never use them that way. Never. I listen with a dedicated high res player, and am glad to say there is not an app that forces you to use your phone (and I wish those which do came with a warning so that I know not to pick them up). In sum: sound quality: 5 stars: clean full range balanced sound. Good sound stage/ stereo. Much more detailed than you can (usually) find in this price range. Tonally true/ accurate. Fit/ comfort: 4 stars. Better than most, but large buds (for nano buds). I would guess 10 mm No fins. not as secure as some. Case and buds both small, easy to carry/ wear. Very basic with led indicators for charging and connecting. Touch pads turn it on/ off, skip forward and back, answer and reject calls and call up assistants. Affordalbe, great sound, easy to wear/ use BUT if you lose the quick start guide brush up on your Finnish. The case is small and easily pocketable.

> 3 dayThese are some truly great earbuds if you are looking for great sound and comfort. The fit, however, did not work for me. Now you shouldn’t imagine this means they wont work for you. You may be thinking “Hey I love wishy-washy in a review!” Just wait…it gets better! Seriously, though, I want ear buds to stay in my ears and these failed. I tried the the three different sets of ear cups that came in the box but I didn’t find any that would keep the ear buds from slipping from my ears. At first it wasn’t a problem because I was working. I stayed in one place for hours and so did the ear buds but walking the dog around the block and I had to push them further into my ears so they wouldn’t hit the ground and risk becoming a snack for my dog. To be fair it could be the shape of my ear canals, they might fit perfectly snugly into yours, but I thought I should at least mention it. However, I still gave these four stars because they checked every box very well. The sound was awesome, thumping bass, wide midrange, and top of the line high notes. That and the touch sensors were very responsive and easy to activate. I spoke on the phone with a friend who said the sound on his end was excellent and it was pretty good one mine, too. At one point I rode my bike with them in my ears and except for threatening to slide out a few times the wind never adversely effected the sound. I answered a call while on my bike and the caller noticed nothing out of the ordinary. In short, these are excellent ear buds, especially for the money.

> 3 dayPicked this up because it said it was HTC. I wanted to test it out since I have had many HTC products but havent seen it around for some years. This is just HTCs name licensed by Water World International. The one I have is white and it looks good but that is about it. The case is kind of thick and there are no additional features like ANC on this. It is pretty basic, the sound quality is decent but nothing too great and the mics are just okay.

> 3 dayThe HTC Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds have the best touch control that I have ever experienced in wireless earphones! The Smart Touch feature allows me to keep my cellphone safely and conveniently in my pocket! With a simple touch, I can answer or end a call, or decline to answer a call. I can adjust the volume up with a double-tap to my left earbud, or turn the volume down by double-tapping the right earbud! And, of course, I still can play or pause my music with a tap! They charge in less than 45 minutes and that charge lasts for well over 6 hours which is plenty of play time for and task that I am engaged in! The earbuds paired seamlessly with my android phone and the sound quality is top notch!
