The affordable clip type earbud for workout with pros and cons
I am a big fan of clip type headphones as they are very comfortable to use and for some reason earbuds do not fit tight on my ear. I am not sure if anyone else face this issue, but I have tried few earbuds and it just does not hold tight. I fell in love with Sony MDR-Q22 and still have that, but then its impossible to get the foams for them. Last time I bought Panasonic RP-HZ47-K Wired Over Ear Headphone, posted about it here as well in this post.
But after few months of usage I have the same problem - the foams have teared and I cannot get it anywhere. I even went to the extent of asking Crysendo to produce that sized foam !! So in search of a perfect clip type headphone we ended finding out clip type earbuds, because clip type headphones seems to be things of past. And thanks to my son, who helped me to find out this HAMMER KO 2.0 EARBUD, after some research ( Kids are way ahead than us in these matters it seems).
The first step before using the device is to charge - as you can see the charging happens to the base case with the earbuds being kept in it.
So it comes with a six months warranty, which is mandatory to register within seven days. They have got a nice trick of extending the warranty for two more months, by following them on Instagram - a niche marketing to extend the user base and advertise their product. After we followed the step, they gave us a code and said to retain it to use after six months :)
Now let's look at it's features :
That's a lot of them, isn't it ? Short touch, Long touch, one click - honestly I am neither a big fan of doing these nor even familiar. I am good with just taking them out of the case and wear - it automatically starts connecting to the phone and pair up. One day I was wearing them and my son came nearby speaking something and I stopped the player from phone. He was laughing at me - why don't you short touch the earbud !! I forgot where to touch😀. Now look at who else also loved it.
A little music for his walk when I am in my native - he liked it. It works perfectly fine without any issue. However, if you by mistake short touch, then its paused. Now coming to the real performance of the earbud when running, I have been using it for almost a month. And I have observed that at times, one of the earbud stops working when I am running and heavily sweated. I have tried to power off, and power on , but it does not help. It happened on day three and I was heartbroken thinking that its defective. But after I put it back on the case and took it again, it worked normally. Their manual does say something about it as you can see (see the point Two Earbuds paired to each other) - but its too much for me to try - I even did not understand what that double-press means. They even have a thrice press 🙃 - I am sure young kids can handle this.
Overall, I am happy with the product, because this is really a unique model in affordable budget. I usually love loud music with high bass but that is the only missing piece - you really cannot have high bass like on ear headphones. You can install their app and use the equalizers with some better effect but still it won't match on ear headphones. It's still easy to manage them from their app, it automatically connects the earbuds. My son used his intellectual money saving skill ( I wonder how he got this skill - it really saves us a lot) and managed to grab some extra coupons / codes to buy from their site in just 2000/- , cheaper than any other place. And you don't get a lot of clip earbuds (try search in google and see it yourself) , but given that they are designed to ensure comfort and stability when wearing for workout or sports , this is a niche product. Hope this post helps you to decide if you are planning to buy an earbud for your workout. And if you are like me, then just don't touch 🙂 - wear it, listen and keep it back on the case and recharge may be once in a week.
