ODEC OD-E1 Wireless Earbuds Review
Summary
While pretty stylish and eye-catching, the OD-E1 earbuds lack an overall impressive sound quality, particularly in the lower frequencies. Due to their ultra-lightweight at just 3.5 grams each, they suffer on the endurance chart at just 3 hours max (streaming music). The biggest issue we found was that multiple times the earbuds would fall out of the case as they were going in and out of our pockets due to the case design and lack of strong magnets. Still, at this price point ($30 time of publishing) it’s a pretty good deal for some sleek buds.
