Shipping (10/10)
Time it took to UK was around 13 days so not too bad. Earhive was quick to respond to any questions i had so i had no problems here
Build quality (8/10)
For this review i personally did not own retail airpods pro 2nd gen’s but i have a brother who does and will be comparing these to them. Furthermore the build quality is 8/10 compared to my brothers everything feels solid the finish is the same the hinge is strong no play and if i’m being honest im pretty sure the hinge is 1:1. lanyard loop seems to be the same the text on the back is pretty good however i do feel like the retails text is more precise and refined.
The buds build quality is also really good
Connectivity(10/10)
Works the same as retail, no problems there
Sound (7/10)
The sound quality is great about 75 to 80 percent as good as retail. The mids are Good highs are okay and bass is fine aswell. With some tinkering you can eq these to sound better but out of the box they’ll do fine.
ANC (6/10) Compared to retail anc these are not bad they do the job but the struggle with higher end frequencies but for the price they are really good
Transparency (6/10)
Compared to retail the transparency is ass but the retail transparency is amazing and is if you don’t have any earbuds in so it is very hard for dupes that are a quarter of the price to replicate the same effect. For the price they do the job but don’t expect anything crazy.
Battery (7/10)
Buds seem to last around 5 hours on a single charge with anc which i think is really good
Other
The sound effects that it makes seem to be on point with the real ones. The case sounds seem to be the same however they are slightly quieter. One drawback is that the low battery sound effect on the earbuds dosent seem to exist and makes a boop type of sound which is not similar to retail.
Any questions feel free to ask
