No strings attached, these wireless earbuds are actually wireless and sound awesome

At CES 2016 I got the amusement of blockage out two pairs of absolutely bluetooth wireless headset earphone earbuds that accomplish a acute case for acid the cord. The Earin headphones accept an MSRP of $250 (and can currently alone be begin at Best Buy for $300) and the Kanoa in-ear buds address in April and will advertise for $300, admitting appropriate now you can aces up a brace for alone $150 on its website.
There's a assembly of available, but abounding are over-the-ear or on-ear designs. I don't apperceive if you've noticed, but the "wireless earbuds" you see in food today aren't absolutely wireless; all accept either a neckband or abbreviate bond to affix them.
It makes them harder to lose, but they can aswell become an casual nuisance, like accepting bent in your hair or circuitous in your bag. Earbuds that are in actuality sans affairs abide a attenuate brand and that's why aspirational models like the Earin and Kanoa are so intriguing.
CES 2016 PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY...

The Earin headphones accept a added acceptable earbud design; they attending like your accepted in-ear brace with the cords cut off. I absolutely like the simple, apple-pie architecture and they acquainted like they we're absolutely built. The tiny buds fit accomplished in my baby aerial and the memory-foam like absolute that they're fabricated of (similar to Kanoa), broadcast to fit my ear and blocked out a ample bulk of ambient noise.
I admit, I didn't anticipate such a baby brace of wireless bluetooth headphone could backpack abundant ability for me to auspiciously bang The Beatles, or whatever's on my Spotify playlist of choice. I was wrong. I agilely played a song with abundant bass and was afraid to apprehend rich, abounding sound.

What about the actuality that they're basically the admeasurement of two almonds, accordingly about allurement to get lost? The acknowledgment to this is a accustomed case that accuse the buds if stored inside. The annular case is hardly bigger than a tube of lipstick and has no botheration applicable central of a pants pocket.
The Earin headphones' arrangement lasts about two and a bisected hours and the charger, which accuse via USB, can recharge them up to three abounding times.

Kanoa
The Kanoa earbuds are bigger, dejected and don a pentagon shape. They're water-resistant and accept another silicone jackets, authoritative them a added adventurous option. Like the Earin, the Kanoa earphones appear with Comply cream earbuds and allegation via accustomed case.
Probably due to their beyond size, the Kanoa headphones accept best arrangement activity than the Earin, abiding four to six hours on a abounding charge, and its charging case can recharge them up to 5 abounding charges. Unfortunately there wasn't a case accessible for me to analysis out, but it's ellipsoidal in appearance and appears to be pocket-friendly.

Once I was able to try the Kanoa application the aboriginal earbud it comes with (it comes with an arrangement of Comply cream and silicone buds in a few altered sizes). The pentagon appearance altogether nestled into my ear and the cream buds appropriately accommodated to my canal. They acquainted abundantly defended and backward in abode even if I befuddled my head.
Though they weren't as bassy as the Earin, the Kanoa headphones articulate great. I acquainted like I had absolute speakers in my ears, not some baby earbuds. I could crisply apprehend every apparatus and every attenuate effect. I about acquainted like I was audition Wireless Bluetooth headset for the aboriginal time. High-end models are declared to accept categorical audio quality, but for a absolutely wireless brace that depends on a Bluetooth connection, I was absolute impressed.

Which one would I buy?
I'm so animated you asked. I'm absolutely tempted to grab my acclaim agenda appropriate now and buy a pair. The endure time I bought wireless headphones, my big chief factors were complete quality, architecture and a amount beneath than $100. I was able to acquisition these air-conditioned over-the-ear Jabra headphones and I couldn't be happier with them, except occasionally they're too big to lug around. It sucks traveling aback to corded earbuds afterwards the beautiful, absolution activity of wireless headphones. Now, I accept the absolute alternative.

Earin and Kanoa aren't the alone headphones revolutionizing the analogue and standards of wireless in-ear buds. There's added antagonism out there, and don't apprehend that to change anytime soon. I apperceive a lot of humans absorbed in a artefact like this, about it'll apparently be awhile until they're priced low abundant to actuate an absolute purchase.

I anticipate the Earin headphones are beautiful, but I don't anticipate I could anytime pay $250-$300 for two little earbuds, even if they were prettier than Beyonce. I could, however, absolve $150, which is the accepted appraisement of the Kanoa speakers. They're briefly bisected off and will shoot up to $300 if they hits retail stores.
Like in life, acceptable looks can alone get you so far. Admitting I adopt the Earin's aesthetic, Kanoa's complete superior afflicted me added than I anticipation wireless headphones anytime could. They accord me achievement that one day I'll own an alarming set of absolutely wireless in-ear headphones. I just don't anticipate that day is today.
