My replacement Anker Soundcore have the same issue. Today it happened walking down the steps at the train station and once walking to the train from work yesterday. They arent banging off anything. Its an internal pop as opposed to an external sound.

Either an issue or I have been very very unlucky

Just an update. This hasnt happened to me since. I wear them daily for the commute each way for an hour / 1.5 hrs and have had no pop since.

Ordered these for the wife but they don't fit into her ears, even with the smallest bud cover on.

I'd be curious if you find any to fit, I've small ears and have had trouble finding ones that fit, think I'm just going to have to go for something like this and have it held in place by the ear loop bit.

Bose® SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones are on amazon Germnay for €119 in White or black
That is a fantastic price for them. It's only an extra €1 for faster delivery. Brings it to €132.16 delivered.
Slightly cheaper and faster delivery to use PW/PM etc.

Thinking of getting a pair for running on the treadmill but would they be ruined quickly do ya think? Have the qc35 twos which I love but wont risk them with sweaty running.

Funnily enough thats how I ruined my last pair and I wasn't going to bother till I seen 3 items down on that site you can get replacement earpads for them. Sorted.

Yeah just noticed the replacements there actually, how long did it take for the first ones to go? If I got 6-12 mths out of a pair might not be so bad :-) Reason being the gym is quite small and speakers too loud to hear podcasts so def need the over ears.

Ah definitely more than a year and if I'd known at the time sweat did that I'd have wiped them down properly after running and all that. Don't compromise on quality just cos of that and you've always the replacement earpads to fall back on. That's good sound for the money.

Just saw these actually may do the trick to absorb the sweat :-)

I had a pair of 40e cheapies and they definitely weren't as good quality sound.

I opened a dispute. They offered me a resolution, which I was not happy with. However the link in their email didn't work, and there was no way to contact them to tell them this.
I tried their chat but it was a bot.

I did explain all this in an earlier post.

Anyway, my advice, avoid AliExpress and these headphones (Tiso i6) at all costs.

I had the same experience as you. I got a refund in the end though.

Tronsmart beat get about 6hrs at 50% volume.

I'm not sure I'd be getting that, I must monitor it. How many recharges do you get from the case?


(Thanks for replying btw)

Can someone recommend an alternative to the powerbeats pro (a cheaper version or Chinese version)? I've a lot of cauliflower ear so can't wear in ear headphones and don't want over/on ear ones for the gym.

I've got a pair of powerbeats 3 at the moment but the battery is shot.

These are like the original ones that came out. But they may not be as good soundwise as the new ones -

I haven't got a pair of these yet, I am after reading a few reviews of people that have had them for 15 days or longer, so I am reading between the manufacturers details and the reviews. I purchased a pair on the back of the reviews.

The Blitzwolf newest gen of the FYE range has been released and getting good reviews.
The BlitzWolf long handle BW-FYE8.
They are available from all amazons with a discount under all of the listings, but none of them ship to Ireland, so require PW/PM/AP/PC.
So I have ordered a set of them from Banggood using a code to drop the price and includes a 'free gift' pair of BlitzWolf BW-ES3 3.5mm wired earphones (worth about €3). The code is BGBWFYE8 which drops the price to €35.81 with Tariff Insurance selected and Shipping Insurance unselected.

Blitzwolf promised a new chipset with support for apt-XM, CVC, DSP and independent connection of the headphones, which should significantly improve the quality of communication. Two drivers with graphene membranes feed a 40mAh battery, battery life is claimed up to 5 hours when listening to music.

According to the test reviews the FYE8 have a similar range to the FYE4, but better. They are dual sync earphones, they can connect independently as in the picture)

I'm not sure how that works, because the phone can only be connected to one device at a time for playback. But apparently it does.
From one of the test reviews:
"if you leave the left earphone in the signal reception area and leave with the right one, the connection is interrupted at the same place it was interrupted when using a pair, while the left one also loses connectivity. But if you leave the right one in the reception area, you can still go the same distance with the left one without losing communication, which means that it acts as a transmitter and is the main one. But in any case, the coverage is greater than that of the previous headphones in this series."

Also from the tests:
"At 75-80% volume, a single charge was enough to listen to music from 18:05 to 00:15, which is slightly more than 5½ hours, which is more than stated, but perhaps the manufacturer did the calculation for full volume.
It takes roughly an hour to fully charge the earphones in the carrying case.
The case charges the headphones four times, but the last charge will probably not be complete.
The capacity of its battery is as claimed, the charge process for the case is about 4 hours."

A few highlights grabbed from different reviews to summarise:
Pros:
"Excellent communication coverage, I live in a small average house, I realised a couple of times that I left the phone in the car only when I entered the main room. More impressive, the headphones separate from each other can also be attributed to a decent distance. After losing one connection, the phone automatically pairs with the second."
"A comfortable fit, though I had to install the largest sizes from the set, they are similar on the outside to those that came with the FYE7, but they were softer and therefore did not sit very tight in the ear canal."
"Good battery life, five hours working for me at a comfortable volume level of 60-70%, so it turns out closer to six, which is currently a record in the Blitzwolf FYE line."
"Pretty loud. Those who complained that the FYE6 did not reach the desired level, FYE8 should satisfy you."

Cons:
"There is no indication of the remaining charge on the case while the headphones are charging, ideally it should be possible to highlight the extreme changes with a different color and display the main charge in white in the process."

Bought a pair back in November, I find that they stay in my ears better than the i4's (I use them at work) though the bass is not as good as the i4's. They are touch control rather than button control which may take a little bit of getting used to. For the price quoted in your link I think they are well worth it.
