GoNovate Wireless Earbuds, Demi Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds with Metallic Charging Case Apt-X Incredible Sound Quality CVC8.0 Noise Cancelling, Ipx7 Waterproof 8H Continuous 40H Cyclic Playtime

******************Updated 1/25/20******************After only a few months of regular, daily use for several hours at a time I have found these earbuds to be defective. The right earbud begins to lose its volume level so that the left one is louder than the right by a wide margin so its extremely unbalanced. You cannot turn up the volume loud enough to hear in the right without being too loud in the left. Now, it's gotten the point that having the volume maxed out isn't loud enough.Obviously, this affects the listening experience and the functionality as you need both earbuds to use all the controls. This is the second pair that this has happened too. I had the first ones replaced under warranty which was really quick.However, on this pair I've been back and forth with the manufactured for well over a month. It took over a week for them to respond. They told me some reset/repair techniques that did not work, obviously. In the email was also a Google form for replacement which I filled out (wasn't like this with first replacement). I never heard back. I noticed their website was also down. I tried contacting them every week or so, but nothing. I finally reached out to Amazon and and they told me to send a message to them (which I did). It's been 1.5 weeks and nothing. Amazon is issuing a partial refund, but I'm extremely disappointed as GoNovate is supposed to be a reputable company and I really love these earbuds when they worked. They are probably still my favorite ones out all that I have. If they could get this engineering issue worked out they would be great. But without someone using/testing them on a regular/prolonged basis, I don't anyone else will notice. And no, I'm not losing the hearing in my right ear. I've tested other backups as well.------------------Original Review----------------------I've had a few pairs of the true wireless earbuds. The best ones for me (that are no longer available) were the GoNovate Gemini's. Unfortunately, I had a cycling accident that crushed on of them and I was unable to replace it. I have it pictured in the comparisons for sizing.I then purchased a pair of the TaoTronics (pictured) https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Headphones-Waterproof-Earphones/dp/B07H2JNFYZ. I was sorely disappointed in these as the sound quality is garbage and they are huge. I have two other pair of older TaoTronics that are better, these are backups ONLY if needed.Lo and behold I heard GoNovate was releasing a new updated pair that was to replace the the GoNovate Airo (which my brother owns). So I decided to order a pair of the GoNovate Demi. Once I received these, they immediately started pairing with my phone when I opened the case. I selected the GoNovate Demi R and boom! I got the pairing confirmation in each ear and I was blown away by the sound quality (easy setup). A nice seal on the ears means I didn't have outside noise coming in (noise cancelling).I actually had to adjust the Preset EQ on my iPhone to get the bass down as it was pretty overwhelming. I must say the dynamic range on these are amazing. So much that every EQ setting has a different sound effect.They are small and fit great. Battery life so far is amazing and I've been using them on and off for a week without having to charge the case yet (which was factory charged).To setup just the earbud , just keep the right one in the case and turn on the left one. Once you put it in pairing mode select it in the Bluetooth settings as GoNovate Demi L. Now both can be paired individually. Remember since the right on is the master you will have to to manually connect to the left on as it won't pair automatically.I've had a few cut outs here and there, but nothing to warrant an issue. In fact I love these so much I bought a second pair because I don't know how long they will be around. So I'm stocking up.The case is metal and sleek. It's a little hard to hold on too because it is so small and the metal makes it slick. With metal you will have the high likelihood of it getting scratched and if you drop it, I have a feeling it may not be that durable, but I have not tested this.I love that there is an actual physical button on the earbuds and you can control volume. Unfortunately, in single pair mode you are only able to make the volume go up because it takes both earbuds for full functionality (volume up/down, track forward/back). Which I can understand.There are three different size silicone ear pieces and the charging cable is 3ft long (instead of a pigtail). I love having the longer cord. The other thing I've notices that when you put these back in the case that they do not stop the music until you close the case. This is a bit strange, but just remember this so that if you just put them in your pocket you will need to make sure they are not still playing music or in active play mode.Overall, I can't say enough about these. With so many wireless earbuds out there, I can say hands down, these are the best I've heard and used especially in this price range. Get a pair ASAP!!

There is no way you can know what you have or don’t have until you try something new or different. It is some conclusion that I have come up with that will do justice to the GoNovate Demi wireless earbuds. I have had the pleasure of using a range of Bluetooth earphones in the past decade. Being someone who rarely takes cognizance of the differences between products like this, I couldn’t help but take notice of the quality here.The combination of its excellent sound quality, impressive playtime session, moisture resistance, and easy manipulation and control just makes it a top notch gadget to possess. I have put together some valid reasons that I believe contributes to making Demi worth this hype, a few areas I personally think deserves praise, enjoy.Portable/Sleek and Water Resistant You might be wondering why I started with this point. The sleekness of the design was the first point that struck me when mine was delivered. It felt so comfortable in in my lobes that for a moment I thought the tunes I listened to was in my head. It can put you to sleep in a blink of an eye, and you will wake up in the morning no even knowing it’s been there all night. If you work out regularly like me, then you will also understand why the anti-sweat and water features cannot be overemphasized. Pumping some weights while consumed in some bodybuilding motivational beats without having to worry about the relationship between your earphones and your sweating body have never been this interesting.Easy Sound System Setup The next impression would be the ease at which I personally connected the buds to my device. I have had a few challenges in the past with some of these latest technologies and their manipulation. Demi wasted no time in connecting to my device, in fact, the pairing was done immediately I removed the charging cover. It also gave me greater control of my playlists and calls with just a button. Now, I can activate voice assistants to manage my device when I am behind the wheel with ease. These options have come in handy more than a few times, and I doubt if I am the only one impressed. Quality Sound Production Have you ever listened to a particular track that you have heard on multiple occasions, but suddenly sounds different? That is the power of good sound technology, exactly the experience I have had more than a few times with Demi. Whatever the Qualcomm QC3020 chipset + AptX technology is up to is amazing, to say the least. It has had me putting together the number of instruments that were employed in a song on some occasions. Whether I am checking out some latest hip-hop tracks, or making a call, the quality sound production and stillness of the background during calls is just class.8H Playtime Now, this is one place where I have had issues with most of the battery-powered devices that I have used over the years. Maybe it is me or the manufactures, but why can’t they just add more of these “things” that make battery cells last longer. I like to believe that I don’t understand the technology behind them, so let’s leave it at that. However, to be sincere, with all the early impressions that Demi made on me I never expected the battery life to be one of them. I was really surprised when the device kept going and going after the first full charge. It gave me more than 8 hours of service after barely an hour of charging. If nothing gets your thumbs up, I bet that should. Overall, I highly recommend anyone looking for Bluetooth earbuds that they buy these.
