siz bence kulaklık üretmeyin. telefon üretin onu da reklamsız olsun.
★★★★ Ariam Haile 4/13/2026 v1.32.0i
I bought this product on February and went back to the department store in Ibn Battuta mall, Dubai, UAE for replacement as one of the ear buds has lower sound. What the only sales lady who worked there told me is so surprising and first to my ears. I brought the product to because one of the ear buds has 45% function while the left side has 100% function. The sales lady said it is ok, you can take it as she can hear it well on one-side of the bud. She asked me if she could chew Sand with my teet
★★★★ R Z 4/13/2026

★★★★ Sayantan Jana 4/8/2026 v1.32.0i

★★★★ Rareș Lupu 4/4/2026 v1.32.0i
Earbuds EQ keeps resetting after disconnecting the earbuds.
★★★★ Ibraheem Muhammad 4/2/2026 v1.32.0i
I have not had the opportunity to utilize this particular Airbus model, which is regrettable. On occasion, the audio levels have been excessively high, to the extent that individuals in close proximity could discern the content. Furthermore, the left-side functionality has been predominantly employed, and I cannot recall an instance where the right-side was utilized. I must express that my . experience has been unsatisfactory.
