This is not to say that these earbuds are noticeably bad, because they arent.

In practice, however, this feature doesnt work as Id anticipated.

The app also shows you how much charge is left in the earbuds.

When I listen back to a recording of myself,I sound distant and unnatural.

Its a shame that these earbuds offer no active noise cancellation.

Again, the 1More and Earfun offer this.

I found myself regularly changing the EQ presets to get the most out of different songs.

The hinge feels sturdy, but the plastic is very thin and looks like it could be easily broken.

The design of the earbuds themselves isnt anything to get excited about.

The buds feel comfortable in my ears, and I wore them for long periods with no issues.

While the touch features are basic, they are simple to use.

It shouldnt be a big deal most of the time, though.

Should I buy the Speck Gemtones Play?

The prefs will need to be adjusted to suit whatever youre listening to in most cases.
