Audio-Technica SQ1TW Wireless Earbuds White

I am finding it difficult to categorise these earbuds, and equally difficult to review them. At the recommended price-point, on paper they lack features such as active noise-cancelling, audio enhancements for HD playback (aptX) and an app for sound tuning.However, in practice, due to the excellent fit possible in the ear canal (they come with 4 sizes of ear tip, rather than the more usual 3) the natural noise reduction is very good. There is a hear-through mode, selected by touch, which leaks a small amount of ambient noise – helping to keep you in touch with your surroundings. This seems fairly ineffective when listening to music at above 50% volume.The possible excellent fit is assisted by the buds naturally extending deep into the ear canal. Initially, I found this quite uncomfortable, but after choosing the correct tip size and rotating the buds slightly when inserting, the fit is very good. I can now wear them for many hours without discomfort.There could be many debates about sound quality and audio enhancements, but Audio-Technica equipment has a reputation generally for a very ‘flat’ frequency response, not requiring any treble/bass boosting. For me, this ‘flat’ response is also provided by these earbuds, with clear trebles and bass, without any predominantly boosted frequencies. I have listened to many hours of music from diverse genres, and I find the experience very good. Some do not like a flat response, and the lack of an app for sound tuning will disappoint those looking for bass-boosting.The low latency option (via touch control) is useful when streaming content from TV or device – it’s not 100%, but makes content very watchable (otherwise the lag is quite bad). Low latency selection could have been automatic if the latest Qualcomm aptX codec was built-in.Bluetooth pairing is very fast and solid – reconnection to paired sources is reliably repeatable. However, don’t wander into a different room or stand near a running microwave – the connection will drop, which is a common Bluetooth issue, but some earbuds can handle this better. The buds can be worn singly too, which I did for phone calls because even with the hear-through activated, I could not get used to my own muffled voice? The microphones are good – I did not receive any negative comments from callers. I did not try calls outdoors in windy conditions – most earbuds would fail this test anyway.Overall, I really like these earbuds, and I am using them more than others I own, mainly due to the excellent fit and very balanced sound profile produced when connected to almost any source.

Ordered these Audio-Technica SQ1TW Wireless Earbuds as I have experience with Audio Technica headphones and have always found them to be good quality. The first pair that turned up did not hold any charge so were returned for a replacement pair (thank you Amazon for the easy returns process). The replacements worked as expected and I have to say the sound quality, touch function, battery life (6 - 7 hours) and overall ease of use makes these earbuds a bargain. Would I have paid the full RRP of nigh on £80 for these...probably not, but at £50 they are right on the money.

Bought a 'very used' pair & the left earbud came with a broken touch sensor. Buying used on this is a gamble lolGot a new pair & they are the best sounding earbuds i've used. I was using the sony WF-C500 for a year before i lost them & decided to get these. They both have their up's & downs but i'd reccomend the technicas over the sony buds purely for the sound & build qualityThe sony buds had way better controls & connected to the sony app (these have pretty bad controls tbh & don't connect to the audio technica app) but the sound and fit of the technica's makes them way more worth the money imo. They fit so well in the ear it doesn't even bother me not having sound isolation, never had buds that fit this well. & I never turned that stuff on much anywayThe case isn't fancy & tells you how much charge you have, but it's much smaller & has a way better build quality than the sony buds caseIt sucks they can't connect to the app though, since the touch controls on them are so unintuitive. Being able to adjust EQ or trigger the different modes like hear through or low latency via the app would make life way easier the occasional time you actually wanna use emI just use these to listen to music or videos 99% of the time though and don't really care about touch controls for calling or turning on features often. I wish you could connect these to the app but the sound is way better than i thought i'd be getting for the £50 i spent

I bought these to replace a cheaper pair from another maker. My starting point was "how much difference can there be for three times the price?". My answer was - a lot. The sound quality is a whole order better - I'm not an audiophile but I could clearly hear a better depth of bass, more clarity in vocals, more distinction between instruments and a more realistic spread of sound. I'm not sure why it should be but these are more comfortable than my previous pair which began to slip out of my ears (evident by a deterioration in sound quality) after a few minutes and became uncomfortably noticeable after about an hour, These Audio-Technica earbuds are still firmly in place and comfortable after a couple of hours. (Both these and my previous pair are just silicon eartips on short open tubes so why the difference I don't know - they are just more comfortable). Bluetooth pairing is much easier. Even though they were only used with one device I had to disconnect and reconnect my old earbuds each time. These connect much more reliably (at least so far - it's early days). The range of controls is quite basic - for my needs it's only music so play/pause, skip forward/back, volume up/down - but they operate reliably. Be aware "double tap" means a very quick double tap not "two taps". A single tap increases the volume, a double tap decreases it and if you are slow with your double tap the volume goes up two steps not down one. I found out this the hard way! Overall I'm very pleased with these earbuds for the money. If I spent a lot more then I might see another step up in quality of sound but for my ears and musical tastes these are just the job.

One of my Apple Air Pod ear buds stopped working, so I was looking for a cheaper option. I read a review from a credible source and these were recommended as a good bargain. My experiences have been these: it's hard to control the volume - often the person I'm talking to can barely hear me. Turning up the volume on my phone or the earbuds doesn't help much. They also seem to pick up a lot of outside noise, particularly when I'm driving. So I haven't found these to be useful and will probably send them back. They do sound fine playing music, though they are sensitive accidental bumps.

Les écouteurs avaient une bonne qualité de son. J'étais un peu mitigée sur l'ergonomie, en courant ils avaient tendance à sortir des oreilles il fallait être vigilant. Mais malheureusement au bout de quelques mois à peine, les écouteurs ont cessé de fonctionner. Je n'ai eu aucune réponse du vendeur à ce sujet alors même que l'article était sous garantie constructeur. Décevant, pour la même gamme de prix j'ai pu avoir des écouteurs d'une autre marque et qui sont de meilleure qualité même au niveau du son.

La version SQ2TW, que es una actualización de este modelo, es más ventajosa al mismo precio ya que permite vincular a 2 dispositivos (este no) y el estuche es mejor. Por lo demás son iguales en calidad y comodidad.Son realmente cómodos incluso durante períodos de 3 - 4 hs sin problemas. Calidad sonora impecable. Buena cancelación de ruido (ideal para vuelos). La conectividad es estable. Buena calidad de producto en prestaciones y materiales. Se complementa muy bien con la aplicación.

Come rapporto qualità prezzo non c'è paragone, suonano come cuffie da più di €100.Comodissime molto leggere e adattabili a ogni tipo di padiglione visto che ci sono diverse misure di gommini , poco ingombro della loro custodia, quindi si tengono in tasca senza problemi.I comandi soft touch sono precisi e rispondono immediatamente, senza nessun problema anche ad volume Massimo, vedi alti e bassi, non distorgano e hanno una qualità di poco eccezionale. Questa sì, che è stata una grande scoperta! Eppure non ne parla nessun recensore.
