STUDIO NOD Noise Cancelling Earbuds with Personalion Comfortable Fit, Open Ear Earbuds with Active Noise cancellation, Wireless Earbuds with Aluminium Case, Wingtips for Sports,Premium Design

These were great for a while, but they stopped charging and the company does not respond to warranty requests. I have emailed them repeatedly and no response. They came with a 12 month warranty but only lasted 8 months. The company has either gone bust or doesn't honour their guarantee

I really like these ear buds. From the moment i opened them they oozed quality. They arrive boxed and inside is a really nice looking Matt grey charging/storage case, a usb c charging cable, the ear buds and 3 rubber sports stability clips. Both the case and ear buds themselves feel of very good quality, well made and nice to the touch. I found the ear buds were comfortable when wearing with their open fit. The ANC active noise cancelling technology worked for the most part, when you move to noisier environments it automatically changes to block out the noise, this feels weird when it happens and you are conscious of hearing the change in real time. It doesn't cancel out all noise especially in really noisy places - I presume this is down to the open fit design. I have to say, I didn't like the the rubber sports clips, for me I found them to be uncomfortable and fiddly. I also don’t feel they are secure enough on my ear to play active sports and I have to keep checking that they’re not falling off. The advert states that you can get up to 5 hours of listening time stand alone and 24 hours with additional top up through the carry case. I cant confirm this, as the most I use the buds at any one time is for about 2 hours and then they get put back in their case which automatically charges them when they are placed in there and when I then get home the unit gets plugged back into the mains and thus there is always a charge! I did find these buds to come with excellent instructions, set up was extremely easy and connection via bluetooth was effortless! The sound through the buds is definitely of superior quality, it’s clear and crisp and rock music sounds fab! The touch controls are few and simple and the buds are neat in design. For the price and the quality, these are a great pair of ear buds and I would definitely recommend giving them a go.

These ear buds are a little different from ones I've tried before. They feature wing tips that, rather than fit over the ear, fit inside part of the ear and anc technology that strangely you can actually hear working.The ear buds come beautifully presented - the packaging is quite impressive. They come with instructions, 3 sizes of wing tips, the ear buds, USB C charging cable and case.The case is of very nice quality with a magnetic closure that satisfyingly snaps shut. The ear buds are a good shape and comfortable to wear.It took a while to figure out exactly what to do with the wing tips and how to attach them, but in the end I don't think they make the ear buds any more secure. I'm not sure they'd keep the ear buds in place during physical activity for example.The ear buds charge quickly and the case keeps them charged when not in use. It takes around a couple of hours to charge from flat and the ear buds work for several good hours before they need returning to the case.They pair up easily via Bluetooth. I tried this on a couple of mobile phones, a tablet and a gaming pc and all paired well.The sound quality is excellent and the anc technology works well. You can hear it working which is a strange experience. Basically it adjusts the sound depending on your surroundings, so if you suddenly move to a noisy environment you can hear the sound through the ear buds alter.The touch controls are very responsive and the ear buds cancel out background noise reasonably well.In comparison with my slightly cheaper ear buds, there's definitely a big improvement in the sound quality and they're not as uncomfortable to wear. Overall, I find them to be a great sounding, stylish, good quality set of ear buds.

Then I got these to test I was quite interested to see how they compared to the many others I’ve tested. I was expecting them to be one of the better ear buds I’ve tried but unfortunately they were a disappointment.The packaging was an interesting approach as you have to rip open the outer sleeve so not for the typ of person that likes to hang on to packaging. But once in to the main box they are very nicely presented and the storage / charging case is metal but a bit larger than I would have expected. The ear buds them selves look well made but I didn’t find they fitted my ears very well, I know everyone is different but I must have tried 20 different makes and these are the only ones that haven’t fitted.The pairing is the standard Bluetooth arrangement and they paired to my phone with no problem. But when I first tried them only one was working and I had to remove and re add them to get them to work. The first thing I tried was the anc and I was a bit disappointed I had to try several times before I realised it was working as it’s weak compared to others.I tested them with a few different songs and the sound was okay but not as good as I would expect for the price I have honestly tested £20 sets that sound as good.Unfortunately I can recommend them based on my experiences with them.
