TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53 Earbuds

My current favourite earbuds, the Pamu Slides, suffered a pairing failure recently. While waiting for a replacement, I came across these budget earbuds on Amazon, and decided to give them a try. At the time they were selling for £25, they have since risen to £33, although you can get 'Amazon Returns' for less.

They are Bluetooth 5, rated IPX7 waterproof, and come with a compact charging case and the usual complement of cables and operating instructions.

Everything feels cheaper than the Pamu Slides, the earbuds are bulkier, and all the plastics are glossy black rather than matt.

However, they connected fine and stayed connected. The sound quality is perfectly acceptable (the volume can go louder than the Pamus), and they stayed in place during a 25 minute running session and after an hour's use were still very comfortable.

All for a tenth of the price of a set of Apple Airpod Pros!
