I have seen several versions of this headset available from different suppliers under different names and prices but this one is the cheapest I have seen so far at just £35.99. Having already bought a dearer rival earlier I was pleased to add this one to Christmas gift shopping list.
I already have a set of Jabra Elie Sports True Wireless earbuds and will use them as a reference point in this review, which may seem unfair but this set is good enough to stand the comparison.

When a RED LED on each battery charger shows solid red the charger battery is full. When the earbuds are inserted and charging the charger case and earbud LED’s will flash red.
