For weeks, I’ve been putting the I8X Bluetooth In-Built Mic In-Ear Earphones (White) through their paces. These budget-friendly earbuds promise a lot: 3D surround sound, noise cancellation, and comfortable all-day wear. But do they deliver? Let’s dive into my comprehensive review.

The I8X boasts a sleek, minimalist design. The charging case is compact and easily fits in a pocket. The earbuds themselves are lightweight and, true to their description, surprisingly comfortable, even during extended use. The touch controls are responsive, allowing for easy volume adjustment and track skipping. The included silicone ear tips come in various sizes, ensuring a good fit for most users. The advertised features include Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in microphone, and a noise-cancellation function – all key features for a modern in-ear listening experience.

The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price point. The 3D surround sound effect is noticeable, creating a more immersive listening experience than many similarly priced competitors. Bass is decent, though not overpowering, and the highs are clear. The noise cancellation isn’t perfect; it significantly reduces ambient noise but doesn’t completely eliminate it, which is expected in this price range. The microphone performs adequately for calls; my callers reported clear audio, even in moderately noisy environments. Battery life is also impressive, exceeding the manufacturer’s stated claims by a couple of hours on a single charge. I consistently got around 6 hours of playtime on a single charge, with the charging case providing several additional charges. The pairing process was quick and straightforward.

Pros:

• Comfortable fit
• Good sound quality for the price
• Effective noise cancellation (for its price point)
• Decent battery life
• Easy to use
• Compact charging case

Cons:

• Noise cancellation isn’t perfect
• Touch controls can be a little finicky sometimes.
• The bass could be slightly more powerful for some users.

Overall, the I8X Bluetooth In-Built Mic In-Ear Earphones offer excellent value for money. The combination of comfortable fit, decent sound quality, effective noise reduction, and long battery life makes them a strong contender in their price category. While not perfect, the minor drawbacks are easily outweighed by the positives. I would confidently recommend the I8X to anyone looking for affordable and reliable Bluetooth earphones.
