I've gone through a lot of different wireless headset and ear-buds. I try not to exceed the hundred dollar range for most of them. Although I did acquire some wireless Beats headphones (around $250 at the time).
In either case, these TCL have some really nice things going for them.
1) The sound is great. Easily the best ear-buds I've had. Although they are noticeably inferior to the Beats Headphones, that's to be expected.
2) They stay in our ears. More than any other wireless earbuds I have used, they fit in nice and tight. Very well designed in that respect.
3) Battery life is great. Even without the portable charging station, the ear-buds last quite a few hours. With the charging station, you get 20+ hours out of them.
4) The signal strength is the best thing though. I can leave my phone in any part of the house and just walk around with these and never lose the signal. So much better than any other ear-buds I've owned.

I got them for $50 and for that price they are amazing. If I had to replace them today, I would buy them again for that price. If they were up to the normal $80, I would probably do a little research first but would lean toward buying these again.

These are pretty nice earbuds. They fit really comfortably in my ears and rarely fall out. I even wear them in the bathtub because they fit so nicely. The sound is good, the bass isn’t great, but I’ve learned to expect little bass from earbuds. So if that’s what you’re looking for, I would look elsewhere. The noise cancellation is ok. I can still hear things outside of my music or phone calls. But I want to be able to still hear things just in case so that’s fine with me. The color is beautiful and even saved me a little bit of money for some reason. The batteries last a really long time and the case lasts a long time as well and has a helpful meter on the back to let you know when it’s fully charged. These are my first Bluetooth earbuds and I’m pretty impressed!!

Amazon customer service

Contacted TCL first and they wanted me to go through a relatively lengthy and somewhat convoluted process just to start the process. Amazon on the other hand sent me simple instructions to prepare and print return labels and within a couple of days I had a new set on my front porch. Now that is great responsive customer service. The item is mediocre at best but we'll within my expectations from a $19.99 pair of earbuds. Wanted them exclusively to listed to my recently purchased 65" tcl q850. They hook up easily and have pretty good range. Haven't used them long enough to check battery life. Thanks Amazon.

Worst Pairing Ever

Out of all the BlueTooth Earbuds I’ve owned, these are by far the worst. First of all they will pair right away except the constantly lose their connection. Then once they do get connected the left earbud suddenly shuts down and this happens even after a full 24hr charge. If you disconnect the earbuds and repair them to the device they work for about 3 min before the left one stops working again. The Right one does this off and on as well but not as often as the left earbud. Okay the sound quality, I had to go into my device settings to adjust the sound quality as upon first use it sounded like I was in a tunnel and heard echoing with no EQ. The only positive thing I can say about these earbuds is when they do both connect and work together which is very rare is the notice cancellation is great as is the battery life. But like I said that’s the only positive thing about these earbuds. 😤 I regret spending so much for these earbuds and will go back to using JLab or SkullCandy earbuds as the sound quality is better and they pair the way the should and have the noise cancellation at a better cost.

Update: after sharing my experience, TCL did reach out to me and I received a refund. They were respectful and understanding of my frustration. They aren’t a bad company, I own 3 TCL Smart TV’s that are awesome for picture and sound quality. So I can’t say I’ve had a bad experience with this brand just didn’t feel the earbuds made the same quality as their other devices have. Maybe after the bugs get worked out in future models I’d considering trying again but at this time I will just stick to purchasing the smart TV’s in stores.

Static prone

The earbuds were fine the first month. I sporadically used them. I started using them more often like going shopping or when i returned to the office. The sound is fine but then you hear static that gets heavier and heavier. While i was listening, the music started to lag and then buffer. I had downloaded music so there should have not been buffering interference. I would not recommend purchasing even as subpar headphones. Not worth it. They look pretty in purple though

Cancelan ruido, se adaptan bien al oído y se escucha claro.
Lo único malo es que a veces el Bluetooth no es tan estable y se pierde la conexión.
