That was me and I also recommend them. GREAT sound, fantastic battery life, and they last a while. I am on my second pair, got probably a year or so out of my first, and I use my headphones all day and half the night!

Is there much sound isolation with these? Say if you were on a bus how high is the volume needed to drown out background noise etc.

I would say typical levels you get with decent fitting in ears - it won't be noise cancelling levels or anything close but blocks out a bit, you would still hear bus announcements/train announcements or whatever.

The 11 hour battery life was the big draw for me - a lot of pairs only give you 6-7 which is more of a drag that you might think.

Most people complaining about prices, where looking at gearbest and early listings from aliexpress. Prices seem to now have stabilized at around €35.

As there are not available till the 11th, I don't know how people could be actually reviewing the product yet. No reliable youtuber has feature them yet, probably prevented from doing so until there officially available.



As you known I have the QCY Q29 Pro (and happy with them), that is an updated model. Good price if the site is reliable?

I used a code on dresslilly ,checkout with PayPal

Came up to the final payment screen ,pay xxx

Was charged twice that

Got a refund off PayPal

Another order never arrived

Customer service stinks too

Have you a proper non mobile link? I think that price/offer is for a single earpiece?

I manage to hear absolutely nothing when I'm wearing these! Although I listen at very high volume so maybe that's why I experienced them differently.

Similar, The QCY T1 are on sale on Geekbuying for €15.82 delivered using code VLWXGBZV or HMAXMTYT

I'm not sure what the difference is, there's little information on their site
http://www.qcy.com/list/355.html
I think they are both the T1C, as the T1 has a different case.

Looks like same earbuds, just a large 2600mAh case on other T1.

I have those, grand for everyday use and gym.
Only gripe I'd have is the cable can drag to 1 side if it's not clipped.

Had this problem with lots of bluetooth earphones where the mic and buttons are on one side, so I snipped an elastic and tied them to a thin hairband which I wear around my neck so the earphones can't fall or slide down one side. My work colleagues think I should patent the idea

You can pick these clips up for cheap on ebay etc. Handy if your earphones don't come with clips

Price keeps increasing on that link! Now at €30.38!

Also these are the Youth Edition/Version or Lite, so as hinted at on reddit, there probably be a better version release later?

Airdots first review

Pros:

great audio quality with the right sources

build quality is great and looks fine in person

communication range is good (ironiclly could be the only perk bt5 brings to the AirDots)

four hours battery life without recharging

great value for the price point

Cons:

music could sound slightly worse with the wrong device / audio format combos

huge turn off as only Chinese voiceovers are used as feedback sound instead of beeping patterns

pressure controls are a mess

no multi source support

These are amazing! I love my poor English announcements of "please charging" on my soundmagic earphones.

What do people think of these for $23.99 with free shipping from Zapals.

Would these come under the customs threshold as the shipping is free or would they add the proce of the postage stmp

Don't know what they're like, but they shouldn't get stopped.
Customs will waive anything under €6 and these would fall into that, as they're not under €21.

Was going to post about them, but could not find any review videos when I saw them.

HBQ-Q13S TWS Mini Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Earbuds with Mic & Charging Box
€20.60 €34.33 40% off ~~~ Same as you linked (you can change currency to Euro on the site).



There is also these:-

S2 TWS Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Earphones with Charging Box
€24.03 €39.48 39% off

Both have Bluetooth 5.0 and larger capacity battery in the charging box than Xiaomi Airdots.


Choices for TWS Earbuds with 5.0 Bluetooth, there is a large range starting from around €20. Probably allot of rebranded clones of similar devices.

@tajd Did you get the Pro's And Con's from this post?


[REDDIT] Discussion My AirDots review

It is a long post, here is these parts.

....

There was also one thing I HATED that deserves a separate paragraph. What kind of genius thought it was a good idea to make all the feedback sounds IN CHINESE VOICEOVER ONLY?

....
Conclusion

Overall the AirDots are nice true wireless earphones for a very cheap price, the build quality is great as other Mi products, it offers competitive audio quality to be used when jogging, at gym workouts or with trips on public transports, and battery life is good as Xiaomi claims. I am so happy that I ordered a pair and they fit my daily usage scenarios perfectly.

As I have QCY Q29 Pro already, I'm in no rush to get these, maybe if they release an English version. Or as mentioned before Youth Edition, so maybe another model version maybe launched in the future.

Also as linked in thread already plenty of other 5.0 TWS Earbuds starting from €20. What have Airdots better to offer other than brand?

Bit off topic but can anyone tell me what i need

I have bluetooth wireless headphones (cheap ones bought a while back from this thread I think). I have a tv (not smart tv) - it has one usb port and the usual headphone slots.

How can I connect my bluetooth headphones to the tv? Is there some kind of adaptor I can get that I can connect to the TV to connect to my bluetooth?

Thanks for any replies and sorry if completely off topic.
