so the market is getting flooded with wireless earbuds and there's a whole bunch of subcategories in the wireless earbuds market those who are everyday wireless earbuds like the air pods and pixel buds and then there's your premium wireless earbuds like the sony WF 1000x which feature active noise cancellation and Sony's even going to be releasing a pair of open back wireless earbuds later this year but the biggest subcategory is the sports wireless earbuds and soul is taking a bit of a different approach especially when it comes to their carrying case so let's check them out so they send these out for review but it doesn't mean I'm gonna take it easy on them the extract retails for one sixty nine ninety nine but you can get them for one forty nine ninety nine depending on where you look regarding what you get with the XJ it's pretty simple you get a micro USB cable for charging a carrying pouch a carabiner so you can clip the charging case to your workout bag if you want and a small set of silicon new tips if you want to pick these your buds up I'll have links for description below and if you use the links it really helps out to channel first let's go over the case because this is the main thing I like about the ex-jock first off it's huge its footprint is basically double of what the air pod cases and it's slightly thicker but cases for a wireless sports earbuds are typically on the larger side case in point the jaybird run and bose sound sport free wireless their cases are huge - what seoul decided to shove in a 3000 milliamp hour battery in there the earbuds themselves typically last me three hours of continuous use which I feel is more than enough for an average workout session at the gym but the case is able to fully charge these earbuds a total of sixteen times I've been testing these earbuds for the last three weeks and I go to the gym four times a week and I still haven't had to charge the carrying case since I fully charge them the first day I got them so cleanse the X shark are good for a total of 54 hours of use whereas the jaybird and bose are only good for a total of 12 and 15 hours respectively when you open that magnetic lid on the case you'll see four ladies that show you the cases battery status on microUSB port for charging the case and the USB out so you can charge your own phone obviously you're going to be sacrificing some of your earbuds battery life but I feel this is a great feature to have since the carrying case so big might as well make it a portable charger personally I just wish sole use a USBC instead of a microUSB port since USBC is starting to catch on okay now let's talk about the earbuds themselves they're mostly made out of plastic they have a little bit of rubber on them and the build quality is just fine they weight in at five grams each and they do a very good job of staying in place when you put them in at least for me everyone's ears are different they create a good seal and they block out a lot of noise they have a very low profile so they don't stick out a lot like the Bose and they don't wiggle out of place when you're moving around they come with an extra pair of small silicone ear tips but I feel so should have included a medium set as well the earbuds themselves are IPX v rated so they're sweat resistant but you shouldn't get the carrying case with and you should dry off the earbuds before dropping them into their case as well regarding connectivity by default the left ear but as the master and the right earbud is a slave when you take the earbuds out they'll automatically pair to your phone and don't verbally let you know when they're good to go they typically take about four seconds if you just want to use one earbud then you have to use the left channel but if you really just want to use the right you're but then you can connect that to your phone separately so you're going to have two extra devices listed on your Bluetooth list now I'm not entirely sure which Bluetooth version these earbuds are using their manual says for that too and sole site says 5.0 but regardless its solid this your but sync up very well sure you don't get an echoing effect between the left and right channel and they have a decent range of about thirty feet when it comes to sound quality they're not that bad these are very base heavy headphones which personally I don't mind while I'm working out their cell profile is pretty similar to the powerbase three lots of bass sharp highs and vocalist or front and center but the extra do gets slightly louder and do create a slightly better seal than the power of these three but these earbuds are not my top choice for watching videos because they do have a bit of latency both of the ssome the earbuds are multi-purpose buttons if you press either one ones no player positive music and if you double press either one the Skip attract but unfortunately triple pressing doesn't go back a track instead if you trouble press on the Left earbud they'll read all your last phone call and this is odd to me because when I'm using my sports wireless earbuds I'm not interested in talking on the phone I just want to quickly control my music so I can get on with my work out but since pressing either of the buttons on these earbuds means jamming them into your ear canal I just naturally default to using my phone to control my music playback but now let's talk about what I don't like about the ex shock I absolutely hate that these earbuds have those blinking LEDs when you put them in your ear these earbuds are very low-profile which I like but the effect completely goes away due to the constant blinking I guess the blinking is there for visibility if you're running at night or if you lose them but if you're running at night then you should be wearing something way more visible than just easier buts I just wish there was a way to turn this cos in blinking off and here's the microphone test for the SOL ex-jock wireless earbuds and plainly said you don't wanna take phone calls with these but this audio clip is been recorded by the microphones on these earbuds shaking each other so if you're someone like me that has dedicated workout earbuds that just stashes them in your bag then I think you'll really like these earbuds the battery life the X lock offers is amazing my biggest pet peeve with wireless earbuds like my powerbeats 3 is realizing they don't have any battery in them just as you're about to start working out so you have to go and stand by a charger for 10 minutes or so the case is huge but given that it's also a portable charger for your phone it's a pretty fair trade-off in my opinion the extracts sound just fine for working out but I wouldn't use them for phone calls if you can get them on sale for 150 or below a field or a decent deal hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than you realize for more product reviews and deal alerts
