    Lemme check with the other half, as she likes my Tiso i4s

    No problem.
    If I hadn't got Powerbeats Pro for myself, I would have kept them.

    Guys,

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

    They are brand new and only turned on to check function.
    Worked perfectly with my iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Pro.

    White in colour if anyone wants the for €15.
    Think they cost 22ish delivered.

    Wifey says no thanks. She prefers wired for the time being.

    Have a pair of TWS i9000 Pros in black that i'm not too fond of if anyone is looking for them?! Only used for a minute to try out.

    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.

    How are folk finding the battery life on these? I'm getting nowhere near the 'up to 7 hours' from the earbuds and the case doesn't charge up the buds as many times as I'd have expected.

    They sound excellent for a budget pair but I'd nearly say the battery life on the Tiso i5s is better. I might chance getting another pair and put it down to just getting a bad sample.

    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.

    Update on mine, have them for two odd weeks now. I haven't expereinced any pop. I even tried provoke it by jumping off a few kurbs on the way to work. The only time I heard something off was when I wore them over my hat on a cold day.I could hear a seashell sort of sound which I think was from the earcups not sealing right.

    But... I have just returned from holiday. Long haul flight 12 hours both directions. These are unreal for flying, I won't fly without these again. I had them on the whole time, brought the aux lead to play some movies and slept in them too with just with ANC active an no sound. Amazing! So chuffed about them for what 45 quid? Oh and I didn't need to charge at all in that time. Bargain alert right here.

    To be honest, the Apple ear buds for her ears perfectly.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,683 ✭✭✭zweton


    Ah ok a year is good, i have the qc35 2s but don't see any replacement pads for them. Also saw these but not sure what they are like.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NM3RSRQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2PGPJL0BBLHLX&psc=1

    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 know there was a bit of a buzz around the Create Outlier Airs when they were released so a few of ye might have them.

    I lost my charging case the other day, so for anyone that has moved on from the Outlier Airs and doesn't use them any more is anyone willing to sell their charging case to me?

    Worth asking sure.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Which seller/store did you use?
    A 2nd Tiso store appeared on the thread early on, and that seems to be when the problems for many started. One seems decent to deal with and fast delivery, the other doesn't and isn't.
    Aliexpress will refund you anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Krombopulos Michael


    Not sure if anyone else had this issue. So today on my Tiso i4, the button cover on the left earbud slid off to one side. It was like the adhesive had softened and the button pad could be pushed about. I have reset the button pad, cleaned the adhesive residue from the sides and have left it to one side outside the case to see if it sticks.

    I use the i4s every day in work for hours a day so they get plenty of wear.

    I had that happen early on but just slid it back into place. For €20 or so quality just won't be great from the Chinese on these sorts of things.

    That's my thinking too. The touch controls on the later models would hopefully have better reliability but i'll keep using these until they fall apart.

    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.
