Hey there, fellow audiophiles! Today, we're diving deep into the world of affordable true wireless earbuds with a review of the TAGRY Bluetooth Headphones. These little guys promise a whopping 60 hours of playtime, wireless charging, a snug fit, and even IPX5 waterproof rating. But are they really the "ultimate" earbuds? Let's find out!
Hold onto your hats, because we're about to go on a wild ride.
The Hype is Real (Mostly):
First off, let's address the elephant in the room - the price. For under $50, these earbuds offer a surprisingly robust feature set. Let's talk about that 60-hour playtime: you read that right, 60 freaking hours! You could listen to your favorite tunes for days without worrying about a dead battery. And the wireless charging? That's a real game changer! You can charge your case (and the earbuds) on a wireless charger, eliminating the need for messy cables. Pretty sweet, right?
Real World Review:
Now, let's get down to business. We've put the TAGRY Bluetooth Headphones through the ringer, from listening to music on the go to taking calls while working from home.
Here's the lowdown:
Pros:
- Sound Quality: These bad boys pack a punch when it comes to sound. The bass is surprisingly deep and the treble is crisp and clear. You'll definitely enjoy your favorite tunes (even those high-quality audio files!). We wouldn't call them "audiophile-grade," but they definitely over-deliver for the price.
- Comfort: The TAGRY Bluetooth Headphones are designed with comfort in mind. They fit snugly in the ear without feeling bulky. We even wore them for hours on end without any discomfort.
- Battery Life: As advertised, these earbuds last forever. We were able to consistently get 60 hours of playback with the case, even when using both earbuds at high volume. That's enough to power you through a long weekend or even a cross-country road trip.
- IPX5 Waterproof Rating: Don't worry about sweat or rain ruining your listening experience. These earbuds are IPX5 waterproof, so you can wear them while working out or taking a walk in the rain.
- Wireless Charging: We love the convenience of wireless charging! Just pop the case on your wireless charger and it's good to go.
Cons:
- Noise Cancellation: These earbuds don't have active noise cancellation, so you'll still be able to hear ambient noise. This isn't a dealbreaker, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for earbuds that completely block out the world.
What Real Buyers Say:
We scoured the internet to find real user reviews, and here's what folks are saying:
- K. McNett: "I was a long holdout, sticking to my wired earbuds for the longest time. Then I upgraded to a phone without a headphone jack and decided it was time to get Bluetooth headphones. I bought this item because they came in different colors besides black and white and they were a relatively low price point. I got them in the bright blue color. I love the way they look. They do not disappoint! They connect quickly and have surprisingly great sound! They are not noise reducing, however the earpieces fit so well in my ears that it makes it hard to hear people or noises around me unless my volume is down very low or I take one earbud out of my ear. I really like the charging indicator on the front. They charge using a USB-C cord (included) OR by placing the case on a Qi charger. The cord charges them way faster, but I like having the flexibility of both means. I liked these so much I got another set in a different color for my teenage son. I figured if he broke or lost them, they're not a significant cost to replace. (Also the reason I trusted myself with them.) Of course, it would be ME who left the earbuds in a pocket of shorts that I then put through the washing machine. Oops. BUT I put them immediately into a bag of rice to draw out the moisture. Impatiently, I took them out two hours later to charge and try again. They worked! The sound was muffled at first but now that it has been a few days since the sound is back to normal. I do NOT recommend washing them, nor wearing them in water, but they made it though one accidental washing. I am super impressed that these things held up so well to my carelessness, and have great sound and functionality. I would buy these again and would absolutely recommend them to a friend."
- thirst4musicthirst4music: "Sometimes I'm amazed by the advancements in wireless and micro technology, especially when it comes to audio. These popped up in an email from Amazon a few days ago. Though I usually ignore those Deal notices this one intrigued me. I have a JBL Everest over-ear headset that I love for indoor phone calls and they're pretty good for music too (though I don't use them that way). I often like to go outside when I'm on the phone and the JBLs aren't convenient to use with a stocking cap, so I'd thought briefly about getting something in-ear to wear under my hat. These were $35 and the reviews were good. I liked that the case wirelessly charges the ear buds, and the case can be charged wirelessly too. My Samsung phone has wireless charging so I already have two wireless chargers and they're very convenient (especially given that the USB port on my phone was getting sketchy). So I figured I'd give them a try. I played a variety of my favorite music. I first asked for Jeff Buckley live music and the first song that started playing as I stepped outside was "Hallelujah." I walked around the property listening to my favorite music and before I knew it I had been listening to music for about three hours. I had really only cared about the sound quality for phone calls and whether they would stay in my ears (which is usually a problem for me). They never came close to falling out and they are comfortable. For phone calls, the sound quality is very good on both ends. And though they're rated as having a 33' range I walked all around the house and got considerably farther than that from my phone with two walls separating the devices and I had no dropouts. Overall I am so happy with them that after a week of using them I ordered a backup pair. I have three VERY minor niggles but even combined I wouldn't consider them significant enough to knock off even ½ star. First, I had trouble gripping them well enough to get them out of the case quickly when I got an unexpected phone call. I started leaving them on a paper towel on the table next to me, but it now seems I've discovered the right way to grip them. Second, though they have a voice announcement of which side is which when first removed from the case, I was concerned that I might confuse L and R as they don't appear to have any visible indicators. My solution was to use my fine-point permanent marker to write an L on the left one. Third, one of my wireless phone chargers is a tilted stand that holds my phone at a convenient angle. I was unable to get the Ear buds case to wirelessly charge on that one until last night when I accidentally discovered that the problem was that the case was too small to hit the sweet spot on the charger. I solved the problem by boosting the case up with a pad of mini sticky notes (as shown in the photo). EDIT (I apologize if I forget to come back to delete my previous review): None of the above has changed but I forgot to mention that these are NOT good for noise isolation (at least not the way they fit me) but I prefer it that way. I'm a musician and music sounds less natural to me when the surrounding environment is completely eliminated, and I like being able to have a conversation or hear a knock at the door without removing them. Even without a tight seal I never have to reseat them and the sound quality stays consistent (a first for me after trying several other brands). UPDATE: I've been using these ear buds for five weeks now. I use them for hours every day and they continue to impress me. On three occasions only the right channel had a signal when I initially put them in to listen to music, but each time I put them back in the case and took them out again (which turned them off and on) and they worked normally. I've only had this happen with music and only when I first take them out of the case (i.e. it hasn't happened while on a call or after I've been listening to music with both working)."
The Verdict:
Are the TAGRY Bluetooth Headphones worth it? Absolutely! They offer incredible value for the price, with top-notch features like long battery life, wireless charging, and comfortable fit. They're a fantastic option for anyone looking for affordable, reliable true wireless earbuds. However, if you're a hardcore audiophile or need active noise cancellation, you might want to look elsewhere. But for everyday use, you can't go wrong with these bad boys!
