On Mono source, audio shifts balance left or right leaning, like someone is messing with the slider
These headphones have a strange behavior, in that the balance constantly shifts between Left and Right leaning. It is not full Left or Right only, but a subtle bounce back and forth that can be very dizzying. When tested on two separate Android devices, two separate computers, and an iPhone, the issue persisted, even when all sources are set to Mono; meaning this is a manufacturing and programming issue.Audio quality is too bass heavy. Button functionality is limited to pause, and jump two seconds ahead/back. When used, the buttons force the earpiece into the ear canal, and is very uncomfortable.There is also the notification audio that is infuriatingly loud. When the buds connect/disconnect, power off, or run low on battery, the message that plays is INCREDIBLY loud and does not match the volume level of the source. This means that if you use them to sleep, and put on a nice lullaby for yourself, and a battery gets low, you will be blasted with a “LOW BATTERY” greeting at full volume, even if your music is set to a very low level.Buy something else. Literally anything else. I am reverting back to wired ear buds until I can find something decent.

Philips TAT 2205 BT earbuds
Bought them on Amazon; but I have been having issues with these. I have just one pair working with both unable to receive music or sound simultaneously. When paired and on a Google Meet call, people sometimes cannot hear me well; sound is very distorted. Then again, this could also be a defective case on my end. Either way, I’d suggest trying them before buying.

I expected more from a well-known brand
I am not an audiophile and I only use these earbuds to listen to podcasts and audiobooks while exercising, so I am not qualified to comment on the quality of the audio. I purchased these specifically because the case was small, the brand was one I knew had a good history and I wanted earbuds with physical buttons instead of touch sensors (which I find to be too sensitive).I did not have any problems pairing them to my iPhone 8. However, from the beginning, the earbuds would occasionally (maybe 1 time every 3 hours) drop the connection, go into Bluetooth pairing mode and then within 5 seconds re-connect to the phone and resume playing the audio. This occurred when I was not touching either them or my phone at all. So I would miss maybe 10 total seconds of audio playback, which I thought was not bad overall considering the problems other people reported having with these.The biggest problem occurred when I had owned them for about 6 weeks: the left earbud stopped charging in the case. I looked closely and the charging contact in the case had scratched the gold contact material off one pad on the bottom of the earbud. Clearly this is a manufacturing defect but I was just outside of the Amazon return window, so I reached out to the manufacturer’s customer support. This is where I thought it would pay off to have purchased a well-known brand with a 1-year warranty. Wrong!Long story short, I was passed off between 4 different customer service reps within a week and each time I had to supply the same details of the problem, pictures of the model and serial number from the box and a copy of my proof of purchase. At the end, they agreed to have it checked out by their service center in California but only if I shipped it there at my own expense! And, you guessed it, I needed to include in the box a sheet with the details of the problem and a printed copy of my proof of purchase.So if you decide to purchase these, I suggest that you return them within the Amazon return window at the first sign of any trouble or problem.

Save your money!
I have small ears, and can’t tolerate most earbuds due to their size. I’ve spent a lot of money on different brands, looking for the smallest ones without sacrificing sound quality. These fit much better than any others, but that’s as good as they get. The volume is too low (I wear earbuds when using loud equipment). After a couple of weeks, they stopped syncing with each other. Now only one will connect to my Bluetooth at a time. I tried all troubleshooting suggestions per the manual, Philips website, and my iPhone. These are useless now. Save your money and get the expensive ones you really want.

They work great. The sound doesn’t go as loud as other headphones, but the sound quality is still pretty great, especially for this price tag. The only thing that’s a big bummer, and that forces me to use other headphones sometimes is the build in microphone. It’s such terrible quality that other people barely understand me and I have to start using other headphones.

These are horrible and only one will pair to the phone at a time.
