Summary
————
This is my second ANC true wireless and i can say that this is the better of the two. My other one is Jbuds ANC true wireless buds.
I also have over ear ANC headphones Soundcore Q30 and the ANC performance is very comparable to the over ear headphones.
I have always have Peppa Pig running on TV and my 3 year old running around and screaming and i muffle most of his and the TV noise.
Its a great travel companion and for the money its a great value.

Detailed Review
———————
DESIGN
I think it is well made and its made of good plastic. It uses type c for charging so you need to carry a micro-usb cable. The headphones comes with 3 sizes ear-tips and the large tip fits my large ears.
The case is a magnetic closing case.
It is strikingly similar looking to the Anker Liberty Air 2 headphones.
COUNTROLS
The controls are touch controls. long press to turn off ANC. Single tap for Play, Pause or Answer call.Skip a track with double tap and 3 taps for google assistant.
The touch control works on both sides!
SETUP & PERFORMANCE
Its got bluetooth 5.0 and it comes out of the box ready for pairing. Turn on bluetooth on your phone and connect to the wireless headset.
The range is pretty good as well, I am able to walk around the house without disconnection.
It can connect to computer or phone no issues.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is very decent and there is no difference in sound quality with ANC on or off which is a good thing. Many headphones when ANC is on, has a lower sound, not with this one.
I was able to test using Spotify and the headphone has a punchy bass. The Highs and Mids are not muffled and they are clear.
With ANC ON, i was able to muffle the sound coming from TV and my toddler screaming at the same time.
True test will be testing in a flight.
I use these on my conference and zoom calls when working from home and there have been no complaints on the other side.
I also used a sound recorder to test the sound which came out pretty clear.
BATTERY LIFE
Battery life is rated at 5 hours for the headphones and 15 hour in the case for total of 20 hours. The rapid charge works pretty good , going from 0 to 100 pct in 1.5 hours.
With the ANC off, it is rated at 6 hours.
OVERALL
for the price, this is a worthy ANC true wireless headphones..

Like many of you, I have had to transition work from home (remote). While this has afforded me a lot of freedom to travel while working, it has only revealed the need for a better listening environment. The usual headphones that tend to fit this, are over the ear headphones, and are often at a higher price point. Introducing AU-Stream, a new line of earbuds designed for noise cancellation, while being portable enough to fit in your pocket or small bag. They are no fluff, they do not offer or require any sort of app on your device, and noise cancellation is simply toggled on or off with a press and hold on either earbud.
Included in the box you will find both ear buds, a battery charging case, a USB A to C charging cable, pack of silicone ear tips, the usual quick start guide and warranty cards. If you are curious which ear tips come pre-installed on the earbuds, it was Medium. The pack of ear tips were the Larger and Smaller ones and are easy to pull off and push back into place on the ear bud. It is always a good idea to charge any accessory prior to use, and in my case was required as there was minimal charge. Using the included USB cable, I plugged this into my PC next to me. The charging did not take a long time and found that the battery case had plenty of charge. The earbuds themselves were low and were left in the case for about 45 minutes.
Once fully charged, pairing is easily done with a quick press and hold of the back button of the case. You will notice the lights on the battery case start flashing the left and right most LEDs. The earbuds were quickly discovered by my Mac Pro and iPhone device, and were as simple as tapping or selecting the device. They connected relatively quickly and were ready for use immediately. Since there is no smart app for these, you will find these without any major features to enable or disable. Also, make sure that you have swapped the silicone tips to the appropriate and comfortable size for you. I found the medium ones installed were perfect for me. Also, make sure to position them correctly to ensure a proper fit and for the best sound.
Using the touch and tap functions on either ear bud, near the logo, was easy to control basic functions. To turn on noise cancelling simply tap & hold on an ear bud until you hear a confirmation tone. It is the same process to turn off the feature which allows ambient surrounding noise to be heard. Tapping them once, allows you to play or pause a track and answer or end a call. You can also refuse a call with a tap and hold for about 1 to 2 seconds. Double taps allow you to skip to the next track and three taps enables your digital assistant: in my case Siri. There is not a way to rewind or skip backward and volume is controlled by your device itself. However, the functions appear to be the most widely used, and I did not find myself wishing or annoyed by the lack of any other controls.
While these do not offer any way to adjust EQ settings for the earbuds themselves, they will adjust based on the native app used for listening. In my case, I was able to adjust EQ using the Music settings menu on my iPhone, which adjusts for the Apple Music app. I tend to keep my EQ settings on the “Rock” pre-set, and found they work well with these headphones. I should note that even without the EQ setting enabled, the earbuds sounded great. Producing Highs, Mids, and Lows well, while not sounding distorted in any way.
The noise cancellation (NC) works well and was most effective in cutting out ambient noise. When the NC setting is first enabled, you’ll notice the sudden adjustment of most of the ambient noise around you. They do a great job of cancelling most of the ambient air noise and lighter sounds around you, while helping to minimize the louder sounds in the immediate area. For instance, you might hear a TV playing in the background, but while listening to content through the ear buds they will be drowned out easily. This made taking calls in public places easier to hear, and with the dual microphone's callers were able to easily hear me. I was honestly impressed with their ease of use and performed their function with great sound. There was no haggling to figure out where to tap and turning on/off noise cancelling was easy.
We should talk about some other great features, such as the pausing of media when you take an earbud off, the fact that they’re waterproof (IPX5 rated) for use during workouts, or walks in a light fog, and the long battery life when using the charging case. The charging case fits nicely in an old, often unused, watch pocket in jeans.
Since they are using Bluetooth 5, you will find fewer disconnects and longer range from your device with fewer drops. I was easily able to walk from my desk to my kitchen to grab a cup of Joe, never losing a single beat from the music being played. These also worked well with Virtual calls, producing a great listening experience, while picking my audio up well for those listening.
Overall, for the price, the great audio quality, decent noise cancellation, and the battery life, it is hard to pass these up. While there might be better headphones out there, with better noise cancelling (often over the ear), and EQ settings controlled with an app. It is a nice change of pace to have something that just works out of the box and does the job well.

Good noise canceling, missing a rubber tip

I’m always opened to trying noise cancelling wireless earbuds. Although I use an iPhone, I’ve found the AirPods to fall out of my ears easily. I was intrigued with the Ausounds AU-Stream ANC. After a few weeks with it, here are my thoughts.
Pro:
-Easy of set up. The Bluetooth was quick to respond to both my iPhone and my Galaxy Tab S7 (I know I use two different eco systems). I had no issues pairing the Ausounds to both my devices.
-Noise Cancelling: they truly are pretty good at canceling out the noise around me. I was on a Zoom Meeting, other colleagues in the same small office with me, and they were pretty drowned out as I participated in my meeting. This was the main point to why I got these earbuds.
-Sound quality: both music and speaking sounds were great.
-Fit: they resemble the AirPods, are slightly larger than them, but they don’t feel heavy or that they’re going to fall out of my ears. The rubber tips are what makes them really comfortable to wear and I don’t fear them falling out. I also enjoy that they are black color.
Cons
-Tip options. In the box comes 3 different size rubber ear tips. Unfortunately, the medium size ones that are already attached when you open the box was missing one rubber tip. This was the size that I needed. I reached out to their customer service and they just told me to buy a 3rd party tips. I was not really thrilled with their response. So, I took the rubber tips from an old earphones. They fit on the the earbuds but they can barely fit in the charging box. I have to hold the box lid shut in order for the earbuds to charge.
Overall I am very happy with the Ausounds. I was just disappointed that they were missing 1 of the rubber tips. Good overall sound and they fit comfortably in my ears.

Great sound w/good noise reduction technology

The Ausounds - AU-Stream ANC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones are comfortable in my ears and offer great sound quality. They come with 3 different size silicone ear tips, so they should accomodate most people. The charging case is bigger than my Samsung Galaxy wireless earbuds and larger than the similar shape Apple Airpods. The Active Noise Cancelling is more accurately described as active noise reduction, as it does not completely block external sound like over the ear ANC headphones would. I would say it reduces external sound levels by 25-50% tops. It's easy to turn ANC on and off, by long-tapping either one of the buds. The rest of the controls are easy, intuitive, similar to other wireless buds and work the same on both left and right earphones. Bluetooth connection was very easy to my Samsung Galaxy smartphone, didn't require a pin and has very good range away from my phone or laptop. Sound quality is good for everyday use, crisp highs and solid bass. Unfortunately there is no App at this time, so there is no fine tuning equalizer. Also the wireless charging doesn't seem to work with my Samsung wireless chargers, but that's ok, I'm glad the wired charging port is USB-C. The one issue I'm experiencing when ANC is on is a buzzing, crackling sound in the left earphone and an occasional static hissing in the right earphone. Once I start playing music, it goes away or I can't hear it anymore because the music is louder than the static. Maybe I got a slightly defective set, will have to call customer service on that one.

The AU-Stream ANC wireless headset is quite good, but the problem is that it is frustratingly close to being truly excellent.
Build quality appears solid, although time will tell. Battery life appears as advertised, around five hours, which is typical in this price range. Pairing is simple, with a button on the charging case putting the buds into pairing mode. There is no app available, which makes setup simple, but the availability of one would likely solve some of the issues below.
The case is lightly larger than the LG Tone or the Jabra Elite 75, but still fits in a pocket with ease. A nice touch is that the case support Qi charging, which is handy, except sometimes the case becomes quite warm to the touch if you leave it on the charger.
Noise cancellation has two settings; beep and beep beep. Voice feedback would be very helpful here. This is one of the things an app could fix, by showing what mode you’re currently in and allowing selection. Noise cancellation appears to work by using ANC to block lower frequency sounds, like an airplane engine or cars, and isolation to block higher frequencies. It’s a good strategy, and although I wasn’t able to test it on a flight (pandemic and all that), it did a very good job of reducing traffic drone. Isolation, though, is an issue, and it doesn’t need to be. The AU-Stream comes with silicone tips. They’re comfortable, but they don’t do a very good job of noise isolation. I swapped the silicone for a pair of Comply isolation foam tips, and the noise isolation and bass response both improved markedly. Adding a set of foam isolation tips after market, though, puts the total price very close to the outstanding Sonys.
The AU-Stream has an auto stop/start feature; take a bud out of your ear and whatever you’re listening to stops, place it back in the ear and it starts. Handy, except it has no sense of time. Say you're playing music on your iPhone Wednesday night and put the buds away, it automatically stops. You close iTunes at some point. When you put the buds back in to make a phone call on Friday, it starts right where you left off, without actually opening iTunes. You have to pick up your phone, put it on the lock screen, pause iTunes, then you can make your call. And what if you were listening to Nickleback and it started playing automatically when people were around? Embarrassing. Again, an app that made this feature selectable would be a great improvement.
Controls are easy to use, as each is duplicated on both sides. Want to start or stop the music? A quick tap on either ear bud will do it. Change noise cancelling from beep to beep beep? A long tap does the trick. While this means you don’t have to remember which side has which control, it also limits the total number of bud-based controls available. Want to adjust the volume? Sorry, you have to pick up your phone for that.
The microphone works really well for calls, assuming you’re in a quiet place. If the dog barks or a car drives by, it will also pick that up.
Finally, let’s talk about the sound. They sound really good, but they don’t sound neutral. Bass response is solid and clear, not over-emphasized and rumbling like so many headsets. But, they have their own sound profile, and it’s not as clean as Sony, B&W, Etymotics, Sennheiser, … It’s what AUSounds's engineers think you should want to hear, and, again, there’s no app to tune it. The best you can do is set your phone to Bass Boost or whatever, which will mess up the sound when you switch to another headphone.
AUSounds, you're so close. Give us an app that has an equalizer, allows us to turn off autoplay, lets us select ANC modes, and perhaps lets us change the button functions. Put some noise cancellation in the microphone. Give us something other than beeps for audible feedback. Include some foam isolation tips. Take your very good product and make it great.

A Lot to Like, But Also Some Problems

There is a lot to like about these wireless earbuds. They look, sound, and feel good. The active noise cancelling does a nice job of filtering out some background noises. But I did have more than a usual number of bluetooth issues.
One of the best things about these earbuds is of course the portability. They do not sound as good or last as long as full size headphones, but are a great choice when portability is the priority.
The sound quality is quite good and sounds much better than the wired earbuds that come with most phones. They are very musical, and do a nice job of producing full range audio.
The active noise cancellation does a decent job of blocking background sounds. It doesn't work as well as my full size over the ears headphones with active noise cancelation, but it does an adequate job of muffling background noise. I am looking forward to trying them on a flight or train the next time I have the opportunity. I especially enjoyed using them while out for a walk, because the noise cancelation was able to cancel the right amount of background noise for me.
Unfortunately I did have some issues with the stability of the Bluetooth signal. I had more than a usual amount of problems initiating and maintaining a Bluetooth connection. There were also occasional buzzing noises, which I was able to clear up by disconnecting and reconnecting. I am hoping that Ausounds releases an app in the future which corrects some of these Bluetooth issues. Overall they have a nice product here, but it reminds me of the early days of Bluetooth.
The operation, battery life, and design of these wireless earbuds are very similar to other wireless earbuds that are out there, which is a good thing. What does stand out is the case supports wireless charging, as well as charging with a USB C cable.

Good true wireless

The Ausounds is a decent to good true wireless ear bud that adds a little competition to the market. They are not perfect but they hold their own.
At first glance they are very comparable to other brands. They include the portable charger case that adds over 10+ hours of usage. The case is nice with light indicators and housing for each earbud as to not lose or mix them up. There is a single button that made it very simple to pair with my phone right out of the box without issue. There are also additional sets of ear pads to try and get the perfect fit. I’m still trying to get the best feel for myself while having the anc work as it should.
As mentioned, I am trying to get the fit as comfortable as possible while not taking away from the active noice cancelling feature. The ear buds are comfortable, but they seem to move or readjust a little to easily for my comfort. It could be the shape of my ear lobe in relation to the round pad but I’ve not had an issue with other brands that have a slightly different shape.
The sound is very good and the anc is, well, good for what it is. When I turn it off it just seems that there is a ambient noise added to make you feel as if it is working better when on. Maybe I’m just used to over the ear anc which does wonders. Overall, I am very impressed with the level and richness of the sound produced. It is very good on both music and phone calls.
The Bluetooth connects very easy when taken out of the case automatically, almost surprisingly. Even when I choose to use only one or both interchangeably they have never failed to connect. I have gotten a little bit of interference noise (electronic whirring) on occasion but it goes away after a little bit. I’m not sure what it is but it can be very annoying when it happens.
Battery life is great. Nothing to say there.
Overall, very good product that adds to the market competition.

ANC headphones/ear buds

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have used many different types of ear buds/earphones. These come with a medium size tip installed and that size normally fits me well. I kept feeling like the earphones were going to fall out, so I put the large tips on and they seemed to fit much better and did not feel too tight or feel like they were going to fall out either.
The sound they produce was very balanced. Not too high and not too much bass. The bass was better once I put the larger tips on, but the bass still did not come on too strong.
They claim to be noise cancelling, you can turn the noise cancelling on or off. I really didn’t notice much of a difference. At low volume levels I could hear my wife speaking and the TV on, so I would not count on the noise cancelling of these at low listening levels. If you turn the volume up, they may cancel better, but not very well at low volume levels. I find in most listening environments that non noise cancelling earphones work just fine.
To pair the earphones, they recommend you leave them in the case, then pair them. Once paired you can put them in your ears. It works much better when pairing them that way.
These earphones can be used in one ear only. The downside is that only the right ear will give you voice prompts like connected. If you are wearing both earphones and remove one, they will stop. Once you put them back in, you need to tap once to resume. A single tap will pause/resume. If wearing only one earphone, you can remove it, they pause, then when placed back in your ear you need to tap once to resume.
The controls allow you to refuse a call, answer/end a call, skip forward or back, activate siri or voice assistant and turn ANC on/off.
I found the controls to work very well. I could easily pause/resume, skip forward or back etc…
It you like a well-balanced sound, I would suggest these. If you are looking for something with more bass punch, then you may want to look for something else.

This is a very competitive segment of the market and with all the options out there this product is merely average or a little lower than average.
Packaging and Looks: 5 stars. Sleek. Small. Package looks classy. The case is beautiful. The lights on the case when charging look nice.
Usability: 4.5 stars. The buds look and feel comfortable. The taps work to pause and play and receive calls. Bluetooth connectivity is easy. No volume control.
Performance: 2 stars. Why? See below.
Sound is great.
The noise cancellation is good. Not great. Remember, this is a segment for noise cancelling earphones. This one is middle of the range.
However, here are two big problems with performance:
a) The taps that supposedly turn the noise cancellation on, really, make no discernible difference. I am not sure what is so special in the difference that exists.
b) This is a big issue: I see intermittent sound blackouts while listening on some interfaces. The blackouts last for a second or two and then everything works fine for a couple of minutes and then we have another blackout. Why? I have no idea.
Plus, if you are watching a video on YouTube or another app, lip-sync is all over the place. This is very very odd. It reduces the pleasure of the viewing and listening experience. It should be okay while listening to podcasts but if you intend to watch videos, you may be disappointed. There are a couple of glitches in the system that really robs the customer from a good experience.
With so many other good products out there, I am very hesitant to recommend this set to anyone.

I like music and I like having good headphones or earphones to enjoy it and this earphones make it happen. They are not the best but they get the job done.
I'm going to start with the pros which are sound quality and aesthetic. I really love they come in black color because they look amazing, once I was able to connect them to my iPhone I play some of my favorite music and was so pleasant to me listening the music with good quality and volume. The battery life is pretty good I used them almost the whole day at work, with other wireless earphones i can get up to 3 or 4 hrs. with no intense use, but with the Ausounds wireless earphones that wasn't the case. They are comfortable even when using so many hours. The connection to the charger is a type-c usb which is so convenient so I can use one charger for some of my devices at home. Even though there is not an app to use it to pair, everything works good.
Cons: What I was expecting for the price was a case with a nice and fine finish but I didn't find that in this product. The case which is the first thing you see it doesn't look that great, it feels made from cheap plastic material and when is open it the top part feels loose like is going to break but is not. The case is kind of robust and in the pockets uses a good space. And the fact there is not an app to pair them via Bluetooth make it a little overwhelming to connect to the phone.
In summary I gave 4 stars because of the quality of the case, besides that the noise canceling work good, sound and battery are awesome. If you don't care about aesthetics

Pretty Good Earbuds

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Today I am reviewing AUSOUNDS Earbuds. These in ear true wireless earbuds feature active noise cancellation, as well as all the standard bells and whistle‘s like dual microphones for talking on the phone, Bluetooth 5.0, 20 hours total of battery life (meaning once the earbuds have a low battery level you can then charge them in the case totaling 20 hrs before you plug in the case to an outlet) as well as it’s charging case itself. And finally they are waterproof.
The look and feel of these of these earbuds is pretty good, good high quality materials, but most importantly they sound really good. These obviously resemble the earbuds made by a different company, But these work “almost” just as well... these come with different sized ear tips to better fit your ear, I found them very comfortable. The noise cancellation is OK, even though some people might not be able to tell the difference.
These earbuds are not perfect, I did have the occasional Sound would go off but then would come back after a second or two, the touch controls on the side of the earbuds need some getting used to as well. Overall pretty solid, sounds good, they look good, if you’re thinking of buying these then just go for it!

I got these mainly to use on Zoom calls so I wouldn't have to wear bulky over-the-ear headphones. For a while, I did have some problems with them dropping the bluetooth connection and reconnecting on my MacBook. However, it seems to be better now so I'm wondering if there was some interference with one of my bluetooth keyboards. I also tested them with my Samsung phone and they've worked perfectly so far. Pairing with a new device is as easy as putting them in the case and pressing the button on the back of it.
The sound quality with these is way better than I expected. Listening to music, they had plenty of bass so they didn't sound tinny like on cheaper earphones that I've used. For calls, I really like that you can use both or one at a time and it's very seamless. The ANC (active noise cancellation) is okay, but not quite as good as some other premium brands I've used. However, turning it on noticeably reduces air conditioner noise or other constant levels of sound like that. It doesn't seem to remember that setting, though, so each time you have to long press the earphone to activate it. Not a big deal in the scheme of things.
I do love how compact these are and that they have a solid, rugged charging case that you can easily throw in a backpack or carry in your pocket. The battery life seems to be as good as advertised so far. I do wish the case was flat on the bottom so you could stand it up on the desk with the lid open to insert or remove the earphones. Overall, though, I'm happy with how they're working.

I made the mistake of letting my wife try these, and now they don't belong to me anymore! That's what I get for showing her how great these ear buds are.
First of all, they are very comfortable. They are so light and fit so well, it sometimes feels like they aren't there. Secondly, the sound quality is very very good. One of my biggest complaints about headphones and earbuds today, as an enjoyer of the heavier music, was that they just don't seem to get loud enough. No problem here! While I can't make my ears bleed, when the right song comes on I want to be able to turn up the juice and these buds deliver. The charge lasts several hours and they connect via bluetooth with no problems. I absolutely recommend these to the person looking for a good quality alternative to air pods.

I really really love these earphones! Level of difficulty connecting to my iPhone XR is a 2/10. Apple seems to make outside brands harder to connect to their devices, but this one was still a lot easier than other devices I have tried. It was definitely worth the 2/10 difficulty level. Once I connected it, it was easier to connect to my other devices. I am currently connected using it on my MacBook to listen to my lectures and it seemed to connect easily. I don't know why that is, but it is.
The sound quality is great! It sounds clear and it gets pretty loud. I love the noise cancelling feature too. I'm currently listening to my lectures for school and because of the noise cancelling feature, I am not as easily distracted. I have over the ear noise cancelling headphones and even though it is really comfortable, It is still hard to wear for a long period of time. I have had these earphones in my ears for over 5 hours studying on and off, and my ears are totally fine! I love that.
Just an FYI, the earphones came fully charged and I have not had to charge them yet. I tried them the first day and put them back in its case. 3-4 days later (today), I have had them out for over 5 hours and I have only used 1/4 of the battery. Thats so awesome! Comfort is great, sound quality is great, connectivity is pretty great and battery life is great! What more can I say except "you will not be disappointed."

Good sound, decent build quality, bad ANS

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
These headphones really are a mixed bag of some pretty good, some decent, and some bad that make buying these headphones a toss up. I really thought the sound was great, but the build quality and poor active noise canceling really detracted from the experience.
Build:
I’ve definitely had better built wireless headphones. The case is pretty bulky and the lid feels flimsy and loose. Though it does have a usb charger which is nice. The headphones themselves feel nice, it’s pretty obvious the look they were trying to copy from another brand, but these feel a little bulkier than the other brand.
Sound:
The sound is good out of the box, everything is crisp and clean. Don’t expect booming bass, but it does sound good. I do wish there was an app that let you adjust the eq. If you don’t like the sound out of the box there really isn’t an easy way to adjust.
Battery life:
Nothing to complain about here, I’ve yet to have the battery run out and I use them all day long.
One earbud use:
One thing to mention here is that these headphones use a slave system that connects the left headphone to the right headphone which then connects to the phone, which means if you want to use just one headphone, you rather have to leave the right headphone out on a table close by or you need to use the right headphone.
Active Noise Cancelling:
Don’t buy these for the ANS. It’s not very good, I could still hear everything going on around me if I didn’t also have music playing.
Overall:
These are some good sounding headphones with a lot of drawbacks. I’d love to suggest these, but I think there are probably some better options out there for the price.

In the box comes the headphones themselves charged to half battery, the charging case, a charging cable for the charging case, a warranty card, user manual and QuickStart manual.
These lightweight and portable, true-wireless headphones sport a sleek and trendy look in their classic black.
I would greatly suggest referring to the QuickStart manual, as these headphones have slightly different controls setup than most universal headphones.
The audio is quite crisp, and loud, a wily combination as normally you have to sacrifice one for the other. Like many ANC headphones, there is a secondary mic to pick up ambient noise and cancel it out. This function, however, cannot be used while in a call. The noise cancellation works wonders, cutting out the already dampened from the silicone buds, background noise beneath your music. With a slight set back, but an expected one. While the ANC is active, it does take a significant toll on the battery life.
**Quick Round of Info that May Be Useful**
•The headphones disconnect after 2 hours of inactivity, which can be bad for the battery life when you resume your music, so try to make sure you turn them off properly. (Make sure after you put them in the case, the case is closed ALL THE WAY, otherwise they are most likely still on and connected.)
•The charger for the case is a standard USBC easily replaced, so no worries.
•AUSOUNDS has a 12 month warranty for any issues or defects that may arise with your headphones, but it does not apply to cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, etc.)
I would recommend these to friends and family.

Great sound with a couple of serious issues

I've been using these for several days now and have to say the sound is fantastic. I would say these sound better than any other wireless buds I've ever used. They have a deep rich sound, deep bass, smooth mid tones, and clear highs.
The buds come with a charging case which claims to give 20 hours of play time. The buds will last about five hours before needing recharging and the case will give 4 charges, so this seems to be accurate. Pairing was ultra simple, just press the button on the back of the charging case and without removing the buds it goes into pairing mode. These paired with my Samsung Note 10+ with no issues. The buds are controlled by touch on the right or left bud, the touch controls are good and have worked as stated. There is no volume control on the buds, but this is not an issue for me.
My first issue is the noise cancelling feature. A long press on the right or left side put you in and out of noise cancelling, two beeps for NC and one to turn off NC. What I am finding is that I cant tell any difference between when NC is on or off. I still hear ambient sounds at the same level whether NC is on or off. Ive tried several different times, even re-paired with my phone, but still no difference. I can tell that it is active, because when I am in my car when NC is off the music sounds very good. When I activate NC I get a loud static from the wind noise which goes away when NC is turned off.
My second issue is these really hurt my ears if inserted for longer than an hour. I've tried all three sizes of of the rubber inserts, and still have the same issue. I've had and used several different wireless earbuds and these are the first ones that have caused ear discomfort. I have ordered some foam inserts to try to see if they make any difference. If they do I'll come back and update this review.
Unfortunately ear discomfort and noise cancelling issues make these a no go for me.

These Ausounds - AU-Stream ANC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphone come in a solid package and scream quality build!
It took a few seconds to connect to my mobile device and I was off listening to meetings and music.
I really enjoyed the noise canceling feature felt like I was all alone in a busy world.
They are more comfortable than other products that are of this nature. Charge lasted actually for two days with moderate usage (4-6hrs a day)
If you are looking at something that’s comfortable and has some really cool features like the active noise canceling- this is the product! Worth the investment.

There have been a LOT of true wireless earbuds hitting the market over the last few years. For me no wires is a must. I use them for work, and exercise and really dislike the wires pulling and getting in the way. With that being said there are still so many options to choose from. I have tried many with the latest being these Ausounds AU-Stream ANC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones. I believe my search is finally over!
I had never heard of Ausounds before so I was a little hesitant in trying them out given the price point. As soon as I received the package my fears quickly began to fade. Everything from the packaging to the earbuds themselves ooze quality, and are attractive to boot!
The quality doesn't stop there either. The most important quality in a product like this is sound, and noise cancelling properties. The Ausounds wireless earbuds excel here. Noise cancelling is great! I put them in, and it is easy to get absorbed in my own musical world. Also the sound quality is fantastic! I am not an audiophile, but I am sure the sound would more than satisfy most people.
They are also very convenient. Wireless Quick Charging works great. They claim a 20 hour battery life, and I would say that is accurate (depending on volume).
Overall there is a LOT to like with the Ausounds AU-Stream ANC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones. They have made a fan out of me with this product, and I am excited to see what they come up with in the future! Thanks Ausounds!

AUSOUNDS products are new to me. I was surprised to find out that the company is a big player in the audio segment and that they provide technical innovation to other manufacturers.
When initially unboxed, I found the earbuds separate from the charging case – both of which remind of me Apple’s products. Under the case and buds is the documentation, a USB-C charging cable, and small and large ear-tips. The medium tips are already installed on the buds.
I followed their recommendation and charged the case (with buds inside) before proceeding. The case was just about fully charged when received, so it didn’t require much. The charging case has LEDs located between the buds to let you know the case and earbuds battery status. On the very bottom of the case is the USB-C charging port.
On the backside of the charging case is a pairing button. Press this to initiate the pairing process. Apparently, it is used anytime you move from one phone to another.
The sound quality is for these buds is very good! Its highs and lows are quite good, and the mid-range is super good.
While there are a fair number of buds on the market claiming ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), these buds have a pretty good ANC implementation. I first tested out these buds and ANC in my house. I didn’t see any difference with the TV on in the background. I also had them on when my wife was talking to me. Still, no improvement. Joking! However, I tested the noise cancellation on my treadmill. The treadmill can be very loud due to footfalls, so much so that some buds are simply not useable. These buds did perfectly fine with the constant drone, and I was able to listen to an audiobook as well as my go-to music without problem. I felt that they matched even my usual go-to buds, although they don’t completely kill all background noise.
I also used them when walking my dog. The wind was blowing pretty hard and I could barely hear any music. One long-press to turn on ANC and the sound of the wind went well to the background. Not gone entirely, but sufficiently so.
These buds are also light and comfortable. I’m using the largest ear-tips, which on other buds hurt my ears. Yet, they are quite comfortable. I could use them for hours without any discomfort.
Battery life is just so-so, but not terrible. The buds have 6 hours of use time, although reduce that to 5 hours if you use ANC. Total battery time is 20 hours with the charging case. The charging case provides rapid wireless charging and will fully charge your earbuds in 1.5 hours.
They are also IPX5 waterproof so you can sweat worry-free and rinse off additional dust with a low sustained water spray.
Should you remove one of the buds from your ear, the remaining bud will continue to work unaffected. The sound will pause momentarily when a bud is removed.
Capacitive controls are the same for both buds. The following works on both buds:
• ANC – Long-press for 1 sec
• Next Track – Dbl-Tap
• Answer/Hang up – Tap
• Decline Call – Long press 1 sec
• Music play/pause – Tap
• Activate voice Assistant – Tap 3 times
Note that you cannot adjust volume by taping on the earbuds. You must use your phone or tablet for that. That’s a bummer since play/pause and volume changes are two capacitive functions I use all the time.
Phone calls are a big question-mark. I was on a long-distance call for about 40 minutes when the buds began fluctuating on and off. By that, I mean that I could hear the caller in one ear but not the other, then it would flip to the opposite side. I ended up removing the buds and using my phone directly. Note that none of my shorter duration calls had any problems. These sound fluctuations surfaced again later when listening to music.
In all, I thought the audio fidelity was pretty darn good, especially for buds in this price range. On that alone, I would give these buds high marks. However, the sound fluctuations and cutting out is a significant non-starter for me. Until these handshake problems are resolved, I can’t recommend them.
