    Thanks OP. Did you manage to get that to work? No good for me, says it's an invalid code.

    I added two to the basket, then added the code and it worked. Removed the second set from the basket.

    Anyway, works now when just adding one set to the basket.

    Thanks again OP! Worth a go for the price alone.

    Bought the olive green pair, 34.50 is a bargain when using the discount code, have yet to come across a pair of earbuds that stay in during exercise so here's hoping these do the trick.

    Thanks OP.

    There appears to be some very mixed customer reviews on Google, does anyone own a pair already? Struggling to find non apple wireless earphones that have a decent mic for calls..

    Bought them at Christmas for about 45 pounds .. They're okay at best, there are way better options out there . The left earpiece kept getting disconnected for me randomly while running. If you're looking for similar price, have a look at pamu slide/ pamu mini ...they're miles ahead with regards of battery, build quality etc

    Bought a pair a few weeks ago. I'd agree with most of the reviews, they're pretty mediocre.

    I believe these are very good, but obs a lot dearer but still way cheaper than apple.

    these are £35 after the current £10 voucher tick-box on the page

    probably a better bet I would say

    I have these. Absolute lifesaver since lockdown, means I can have 1 ear popped in while the small person in my life watches tv or whatever. The sound quality is very good, the connectivity range is class and they connect very quickly. The left ear does occasionally take a bit longer to connect, although I use these a lot with one ear only. It's a bit annoying have to swap them between phone and tablet when needed, but they do work.

    Only complaint would be that the fit is a bit hit and miss with the included sizes, it's like my left ear in particular is in between sizes of the included connections. But definitely worth the buy. I've taken loads of calls on them too, and only complaints is when I'm outside if windy...

    same price as amazon and both only ship to uk so have to use parcel motel etc either way

    tbh you are safer on after-sales service through amazon that even the manufacturer directly.

    Had to send these back to the shop, the charging box began to melt when I was charging them. Awful earphones even before that happened. Would not recommend.

    Mine arrived today... this is happening to my left one too and I am not even running!... disappointed to say the least. It's random but it's happening. I am going to look at the soundcore now for second pair.

    Soundcore are v decent for the price, though taking calls on them in any kind of wind renders the call painful for the person at the other end

    Got the Urbanista and I find them fantastic. Zero issues and great sound quality. Maybe I got lucky! I’ve paid a lot more than 35 quid for other earphones which haven’t been nearly as good.

    Mine arrived today, too.

    First thing I did was fully charge them.

    Battery went from 100% to 70% after about 15 minutes of playback, indicating 50 mins of playback is all I can expect from a full charge. (If 30% is 15 minutes, 10% is 5 minutes, 100% is 50 minutes)
    However, this may just be a teething problem.

    The sound isn't great, it's a bit tinny, the treble is a bit much, even after changing audio settings on my phone. But I might play around with my audio settings a bit more and see what I can do.

    For €35 or whatever, they seem fine enough.

    Fingers crossed the microphone works well during phone calls.

    The touch controls seem to work well, and overall I think they are nice looking.

    Anyway thanks for posting, OP!

    Just ordered a set for myself after trying out my girlfriend's which arrived yesterday. I'm far from an expert on these things but I'm impressed with the sound, range, fit etc. Tested phone calls and seemed perfect, but that was inside so no wind noise.

    So while I'm really impressed I've never tried any alternatives, but happy to go with them for the price as I know I'll get great use out of them.
