So...the
KOSETON. For $30, I think I'm going to keep them. They are certainly not world-beaters, but for a solid gym/yard work pair, I think they fit the bill. They do not come close to dethroning the current value picks (Anbes 359, MPOW T5).
- They don't stick out much and look fairly sleek.
- Deep, resonating bass.
- Comfortable
- USB-C
- aptX & AAC support.
- Good battery life.
- Nice Aluminum case.
- Responsive touch controls (play/pause, track, volume, assistant).
- No connection issues.
Sound out of the box is thick, a bit muddy, and bass heavy. Using the "Bass Reducer" setting in Spotify (never thought I'd actually say that) and pushing the highs up (never thought I'd say that either), they sound decent and the speakers don't distort. Mic for calls is about average. Voice is a little muffled, but volume as heard by the caller is decent, so usable.
