Great headphones, with 1 flaw

I absolutely love these -
1. Really thin case makes it a great fit in the pant pocket.
2. Initial pairing was a breeze, just shows up on your phone.
3. Love the feature that it pauses music, or switches phone audio to speaker - when I take it out of my ear.
4. Every time I take them out of the case, they instantly connect to my phone.
5. Great noise isolation even without ANC
What's not to love.
Well... I really wish the case had wireless charging. That would have made it the perfect bundle.
To focus on the sound and fit - as mentioned to my ears at least the noise isolation is fantastic. Even with no music on, as soon as I put them in, I feel an immediate difference and some of the environmental noise just disappears. The sound itself is a bit bass heavy for me, but tweaking the equalizer on the app, got it tuned to something I love.
There are of course single, double, triple taps to play/pause, next and previous song. You can also customize long press on each ear - your mobile assistant or turning on/off the "awareness" mode (essentially passes through the environment noise)
Firmware update is available as soon as I got it, but I did struggle to install it initially. It kept failing over and over, till I put the earphones back in the case - then it runs for a while and fails again. I have no idea how they updated eventually, but now I don't see an update pending anymore. Not a good experience.
Overall, I definitely recommend these, if the next iteration has wireless charging for the case, that would be even sweeter

The Adidas True Wireless headphones get the important things right despite some odd peripheral design choices.
The bluetooth connection to both my phone and laptop was quick and easy. The sound quality is excellent. Using the Adidas app you can adjust the sound based on presets or customize the equalizer as you like. I listen to a variety of music styles and these earbuds sound great.
The app has a feature called "Awareness" that supposedly allows more background noise through so you are more aware of what's going on around you. However I couldn't tell much if any difference between enabling or disabling "Awareness."
The earbuds fit comfortably in my ears, and of course they come with a variety of sizes of ear gels to get a good fit for most ear types. Wearing them, it is quite comfortable and I have no worries about them falling out while exercising. However my wife has very small ears and she couldn't get the earbuds to seat comfortably, even with the smallest gels.
I'm not overly impressed with the charge case. It has a cloth top and I can see that wearing out quickly. My guess is Adidas wanted to keep the case as slim as possible so it would fit comfortably in a pocket. Also, the lid is held on by magnets so it is possible to take the lid off completely.

Overall the Adidas Sport earbuds are acceptable, definitely not the best, but work well. I had some fit and comfort issues and can’t quite get the right fit for my ears. When I could get them to sit in my ears properly and get the EQ through the app to be where my preference was, they sounded pretty good.
The biggest issue for me was I could not get them to seat properly in my ears to make them consistently sound good, when working out they kept shifting and were not comfortable to keep adjusting them back into place.
I honestly do not fault the design as they are made similarly to other wireless earbuds I have owned, pretty sure it’s just the way my ears are sensitive to these types of wireless earbuds. My husband had not issues with the fit and said they sounded fantastic to him, so as most of these earbuds go it’s personal preference for sure.
The Adidas app for the earbuds works well to adjust the sound levels to your personal sound preference which is nice. I would like to see the ability to adjust the audio volume via touching the side of the earbuds, but can not figure out how to do that, as there are not a lot of easy to find instructions for the product.
Overall, it comes down to personal comfort and preference with earbuds. I was not a huge fan, but my husband loves them.

Setup was instantaneous. They paired right away without issue which surprisingly isn't as often as you'd think for devices today for some reason. It even conveniently directs you right to the app to download. After the initial pairing they connect quickly after being removed from the case. It was just as easy pairing to another device if needed which I discovered when I let my wife try them out.
THE GOOD
They are extremely comfortable and are definitely the best in that regard of all the buds I've used previously. They remain comfortable even after long periods of time and I'm confident they will stay secure no matter what I'm doing. The large selection of ear pieces will make sure of this no matter who you are. While I'm not a huge sound guy, I really think the sound is great. It feels full with just the perfect amount of bass to my liking. I haven't tried any calls yet other than with my wife but it sounded very clear to us. The app further offers customization like an equalizer (I'm always a fan of that feature) and other options to change how you use it. It's quite user friendly, too. What's also nice is I don't see any reason you have to use the app if you don't want to, either. More products need to do this where the app is more of a companion and not a requirement. On top of all this, between the buds and the case it has a really nice, long battery life.
The Awareness mode is impressive. While it's not labeled as a noise canceling device per-say, it really blocks out sound well. Depending on what you're listening to and your volume (and your settings), it really cancels out nearly everything. I was outside testing them out watching a youtube video and all I could hear was the very faint sound of someone mowing a lawn. All the birds, planes and whatever noise my wife was making in the yard was lost to me. With music, I would have heard nothing. I let me wife try them out for a bit and she was listening to music with the Awareness mode off. I went to talk to her later in the day. I approached her from behind, only a few feet away, while she was doing something else and said her name multiple times but she couldn't hear me. I literally started shouting her name and still nothing. It wasn't until she turned around and saw me that she realized I was trying to speak to her. How much sound is let in with this mode can be changed within the app which really furthers its versatility. You can change the custom button on each bud but I like having the default activate/deactivate Awareness mode as mine.
THE NOT AS GOOD
There are only a couple of things I find an issue with. The first is there is no volume controls on the buds themselves. You must change volume from the phone which is pretty inconvenient. The second is that i'm not completely sold on the case, yet. It's really nice, it's indeed pretty compact and lightweight, but there are a couple of things that give me concern. While I understand the fabric cover's purpose is breathability in order to air it out from sweat/moisture, it's kind of a double edge sword. Underneath the fabric, the hard plastic is only surrounding the buds leaving them to protrude out through the fabric thus decreasing their protection. With the help of the magnets, it seems to hold the buds in place but they have some wiggle room with the ear pieces I'm using. I do wonder if they will become easily displaced with constant movement in a pocket or bag ceasing charging. The charging points seem a bit precarious and sometimes it takes some wiggling of the buds for the lights to turn on in the case and be detected. I notice closing and opening the case lid works, too. The lack of hard plastic in the cover is probably a contributing factor. The only reason I question if things are working properly is because one of the buds appeared to not charge one time and the app always shows one side lower than the other so now I feel like I have to take more care than I should when putting them away. Also, not too big of a deal but still worth noting is sometimes I found the touch controls unresponsive.
Overall, the buds themselves are a solid product. I don't feel like the inconveniences hinder the product in a significant enough way for me to reduce an entire star.
PROS
- Great sound quality
- Great battery life
- Serious noise control offers versatility
- Plethora of different attachments to choose from
CONS
- No volume controls on buds themselves
- Case protection is concerning, magnets holding the buds are finicky

These Adidas earbuds (wireless headphones) are extremely comfortable! I have sensitive skin and other earbuds tend to make my ears sore or even inflamed after about 30 minutes. I can leave these in for 1-2 hours without any issues. They feel very soft in the ear and the fit is perfect.
The packaging is great. Includes a nice charging case, short charging cord, manuals (a Quick Start Guide and Legal/Safety booklet), and a bunch of soft replaceable tips and earpieces.
One of the best features, besides the comfort and fit, of these headphones is the simplicity of them. They paired with both my phone and my laptop quickly and easily with no problems. The controls on the earbuds are very simple - tap once to play or pause or receive call, twice to skip forward or reject call, and three taps to skip backwards. You can also long touch to turn on/off the "Awareness" mode, which lets you hear outside noises.
Overall, these wireless headphones are great! The sound quality, comfort and ease of use make them the best pair I own.
