Here’s my review results for Wicked Audio True Wireless Earbuds
This product is an entry-level priced and, I didn’t expect too much from it audio performance wise. I would not give these as a gift to an audiophile. However, the good news, is that the earbuds are easy to use. The earbuds connect automatically, and minimal knowledge is required to operate them. Continuous play is close to 3 hours, charging time about 2 hours. The functionality of the buds’ volume, next track, etc. is disappointing - I was able to use the functions only on the right earbud and failed to get any response on the left one (volume down and previous track, to be precise). The volume of the audio itself is weak and the base runs into the limitations and begins to reverberate. Nonetheless, despite the limitations on the volume and audio quality, I believe that the older generation might use these to listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts a and radio. These earbuds are also noise canceling and hands free

Very low budget option
I was immediately surprised by the headphone case and how thin and flimsy it felt. Extra plastic would only cost a couple cents but add a lot to the tactile experience. There was a huge difference between my other $50 wireless earbuds in both design and sound. These seem geared to be the lowest budget product in its category. I think spending a small amount more would be worth it because I would not recommend these even to a kid.
The product was well packaged but unfortunately arrived with the wrong charging cable (this is not reflected in my rating because my review is about the product not the company) . The earbuds fit well and were fairly comfortable. The buttons felt cheap and may have been broken on the right earbud. Even though I am really good with technology, they were a little challenging to pair. Also, the earbuds did not seem to charge equally. One said it was at 100% while the other said 70%. In addition, only the lights on the left earbud come on when I open the case. I don't think the right earbud was working as intended. The sound though was pretty good for the price:)
Let's go over the basics.
Its retail price is around 29.99-30 CAD (tax not included.)
Its wireless range is 32ft/10 m
Its battery life is 12 hrs (I did not test for this)
Lets talk about the good.
They sound clear and they DO NOT BUDGE in my tiny earholes. For someone who struggles with earbuds too big for their ears, I found the sizes on these relatively comfortable and grippy in a good way. They also come with larger sizes. Do keep in mind that these may not be compatible with other earbuds. But youre free to try.
Let's talk about the bad.
While these give you clear mids, it lacks power in higher and lower ranges. So if you tend to like music that has a lot of intricacies with its low or high notes, do be aware of this. It's range is apparently 20-20,000 Hz but like I said, this is more balanced into the mid ranges.
Overall, a really nice product.
5 stars for comparing the sound quality to the price point- I don’t think you’re going to find better earbuds out there for this price. However if comparing it to higher price point headphones such as Bose, of course the sound quality is different! I don’t think that should be surprising to anyone. But what I was pleasantly surprised by was just his comparable they are to my Bose quiet comfort. They were on par for the noise cancelling, I was shocked at this! Also, the pairing was SOOOO simple! Literally just turn it on and connect to Bluetooth. No fooling around trying to find the device and then press different buttons at certain times, etc. I listened to different genres of music on these to give them a fair shot and while I would have preferred the volume to go a little higher, I would 100% purchase and recommend these earbuds! I’m going to get a pair for my boyfriend as a gift. Try these. You won’t be disappointed!
The sound quality on these headphones is great! I love how long they keep a charge for and how fast they charge from dead. They stay in my ears well, which is something i often struggle to find in other products
I really wanted to like these, but unfortunately, they fell very short in several categories. The build quality of the case and earbuds was pretty bad, they weigh almost nothing and feel like very cheap plastic. The materials feel and look so bad to be at the point I do not trust the internal electronics.
The sound quality is bad. No bass whatsoever, the vocals were fatiguing and sounded off, and overall very uninspiring sound. Max volume is also disappointing.
The provided earbuds are too small. Even the largest alternative cups provided were too small to make any kind of seal with my ears.
The "active noise canceling" was non-existent. I heard everything around me the same with these earbuds in or out.
Finally, the "intelligence" of this product is also non-existent. It consistently tried to connect to my phone's Bluetooth despite the earbuds being put away in their case and me using BlueTooth through another device.

Sounded better than expected
I had low expectations considering these are cheap earbuds, but I was happily proven wrong. The sound is really good - I wouldn't compare these to more expensive brand names, but I was more than happy wearing these while running errands. The construction itself feels cheap, I wouldn't expect the case to survive a fall and the case can't actually keep itself upright when the lid is open. The earbuds themselves don't feel too impressive either - the buttons on the buds feel "loose" - they clack loudly when you run your finger over it - but are very responsive when using the controls. In ear, the buds feel kinda loose and like they're not in properly. I tried all 3 sizes of ear tips and they all seemed a bit small and didn't actually "seal" my ear properly. Construction issues aside, I'm very happy with these - especially for the price.

Not bad.
Very comfy. The 3 hours of play time (the case holds charge so you can get to 12 hours with charges) isn't the greatest. It does say it on the box though so won't dock for that. Sound quality isn't the best, but have had way worse. They block out most sounds, but not all. For what they will be used for they are perfect, however if you want best sound, noise canceling, and something that lasts, this won't be the product for you. Perfect for work and job sites, short trips, etc.
I tested the earphones in four use cases and rate the following out of 5:
Online video calls: 1/5 - listening quality is quite good, but microphone quality is very bad - others had trouble hearing and understanding even at full microphone volume.
Casual listening: 4/5 - sound quality for music and podcasts is quite good and better than comparably-priced earphones
Exercise/running: 2/5 - I tested each of the 3 sizes of rubber inserts and none successfully kept the earphones in my ear while running or exercising. The exception is when running in winter with a toque on - that holds them in place.
Listening on the airplane: 3/5 - The noise blocking by the rubber inserts is quite good for background noise and beats my large headphones for convenience and size.
As I was hoping for a good all-around earphone that I could use at the gym and on video calls, I was disappointed. For purely listening without moving around much, they're acceptable and provide reasonable sound quality
Unfortunately this product did not impress me. The earbuds were not comfortable and did not stay in my ears when I went for a run. The sound was so-so, and the overall product seemed to be made of very inexpensive materials.

Wicked Ear Buds!
I've had a couple of days to try these earbuds out and I love them. The audio quality is great and easy to connect to your device. They're super comfortable and can wear them for hours at a time. The only improvement I could think of is the battery doesn't last as long as other brands I've tried. But other than that I would recommend these earbuds!

Not too bad
I found these headphones to be quite hit or miss. I loved them kar first, as they fit nicely (and stayed) in the ear and the sound quality was really good. But, if I'm too far away (which isnt even THAT far) from my phone, the sound gets all warbled. Maybe that's normal? I do like them though, other than that.
