Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

Budget stemless TWS earbuds with Bluetooth 5.3, about 5 h of playback per charge and about 50 h with the case, aimed at everyday listening and mobile gaming. Check the water question before you buy: no certified water-resistance rating is published, only sweat and light-moisture tolerance.

Strengths

  • Long battery life: about 5 h per charge and about 50 h with the case.
  • Comfortable 3.8 g earbuds suited to smaller ear canals.
  • Stable Bluetooth 5.3 link with fast pairing and a 60 ms gaming mode.
  • Companion app adds EQ, presets and customizable touch controls.
  • Quick top-ups: 10 minutes of charging gives about 2 h of playback.
  • Sound quality described as superb for the price with good bass and clarity.

Weaknesses

  • No active noise cancellation, so ambient sound stays audible.
  • No certified water-resistance rating; only sweat and light-moisture tolerance is claimed.
  • SBC-only audio, with no AAC, aptX or LDAC support.
  • Single earbud (often the left) failing after about a month reported by owners.
  • Battery drain after roughly two years of use, including while unused.
  • Earbuds protrude, making side sleeping awkward for some.

Full research notes and sources

Battery life and charging

Expect about 5 h per charge at 70% volume, with a full charge taking about 1 h over USB-C. Owners report charging only once or twice a week.

Sound and features

Only the SBC codec is supported, with no ANC, multipoint pairing or wireless charging. The companion app adds EQ, presets and customizable gestures, and a 60 ms low-latency mode targets gaming and video. HearWiki’s aggregated score is 65/100 from two published sources, not an original hands-on test. No instrumented test of this exact model from established outlets was found.

Durability and warranty

Owner reports flag single-earbud failures after about a month and battery drain after roughly two years, but no defect rate is established; the manual advises keeping earbuds in the case and cleaning charging contacts periodically. Baseus US warranty is 18–24 months for orders placed on or after 2024-01-01; earlier units depend on the package warranty card. Baseus US offers a 7-day no-reason return and 30-day defect guarantee on direct purchases; contact care@baseus.com or +1 800 220 8056.

Is it worth it?

At the manufacturer’s $23.99–$29.99 level it is a strong value for endurance and latency if you accept no ANC, no water rating and SBC-only audio. At or above about $30, ANC-capable alternatives such as the Anker Soundcore Space A40 class deserve comparison. It is a poor fit where water exposure or long service life matters. HearWiki lists a typical price of $30.
