These are so easy to use! I have tried several pair of wireless earbuds. I have often found them to be confusing! I appreciate the clearly worded User Manual that comes with these earbuds. I love that the earbuds speak “Connected” when the earbuds are connected to my phone—and “Disconnected” and “Pairing” at the appropriated times. I love that I can control the volume with the earbuds. (Some other earbuds that I have tried have not had that capability—You would have to use the volume on your device.) You can also Play or Pause music or skip to the next or previous track using taps on these earbuds. I love that is has the prompt sound (musical note) “Du” when the volume reaches minimum or maximum levels. I love that the spot on the earbuds that you are to tap or press is clearly pictured in the manual AND that it is actually easy to touch/ press. (Some others I have had have been super picky about touching a seemingly tiny spot very specifically or lightly. Or others have a button that seems to need to be pressed rather hard.) Before using these earbuds, I thought that I would not like that I have to tap twice to answer or end a call—I wanted to tap only once. But, since using it, I find that I quite enjoy this feature. Tapping only once can sometimes be too sensitive. Interestingly, there is no command on these earbuds that responds to only tapping once.. .These are also simple to charge, and hold a charge for a reasonably long length of time. The case is a handy, sleek design with a digital display that the buds are being charged and what percent charged they are. They come with multiple eartips, so you are likely to have the correct fit for you. The sound goes nice and loud and includes instructions to go even louder. I know noise cancellation is important to many—that is a thing for these buds as well. Again, overall, these wireless earbuds are very simple to use. They have many great features that you are looking for! They are a very good, affordable buy.

I purchased the GNMN M7 wireless earbuds without knowing very well how I would enjoy the sound. I have a pair of Apple AirPods Pro which I received when I received my iPad Pro for free from my university. I’m not the biggest fan of either the “stick-type” air pods or the type of earbuds that go into your ear canal. I prefer the earbuds with an ear hook as any other type tends to fall out of my ears and I can never get a perfect fit.Since I have both the GNMN M7 earbuds and the AirPods Pro, I decided to spend a few hours interchanging both based on the music I was listening to through the Amazon Music app. I also completed some phone calls which each one. What stood out to me first was how crisp and rich the sound was from the GNMN M7 earbuds. I didn’t expect the type of clarity and was pleasantly surprised when I first put them in my ears. The one difference that I noticed is that the bass was not as overwhelming as it is with the AirPods Pro. I’m not big on booming bass. It’s just my preference, and it’s probably also why I was never a fan of my son’s Beats wireless earbuds. For me, excessive bass ruins the music. I prefer to adjust the equalizer in the app I’m using when I want bass-heavy music. It’s a lot simpler than having to constantly adjust the bass in songs.I also discovered that for whatever reason, the M7s didn’t seem as uncomfortable to me as the AirPods. There is a very slight difference in angle that can be seen from the screenshot, which I think makes the difference for me. It doesn’t seem to be much, but depending on an individual’s ear canal that slight angle can be the difference between a comfortable fit and an uncomfortable fit. The M7s were so clear and comfortable that I wore them for close to 2 hours before I even realized that I had them in my ears.As far as I could tell, (with the exception of the over-emphasized bass of the AirPods) there was practically no difference between the M7s and the AirPods sound-wise. On paper, the AirPods have active noise cancellation. However, I’m not a very big fan of this with earbuds. The change in frequency when using noise cancellation with earbuds usually makes me feel a little queasy. I prefer the noise cancellation through my over-the-ear headphones on my Bose QC 35. And to be honest, I only use that on planes, or when I’m studying in a library. I like being able to hear a few sounds around me. You never know when hearing sounds around you will really matter.I detected absolutely no difference in phone calls. I was able to hear the user clearly on both models of earbuds, and my voice was heard clearly on the other end with no static or dropped sounds.The M7s synced very easily with my phone. There was no pairing button to press. All I had to do was have my phone scan Bluetooth devices, and there was “M7”, waiting to be paired. It really is that effortless. The M7s come with three different sizes of ear tips and a USB-C charging cable. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that the case works with my wireless charger. In addition, one huge advantage that the M7 charging case has over the AirPod case is that the M7s have an LED display on the charging case that tells you what percent the charge is at. The AirPods have no such display. It is more of a guessing game. To be honest, since I wasn’t the biggest fan of the AirPods “stick-format”, the most I’ve used them have been over the past couple of days. In regards to the price-to-performance ratio, they’ve failed to impress.The biggest clincher, and the one that stands out the most to me, is that in most markets, the M7s are practically $150 or more, cheaper than the AirPods. In my opinion, paying over $100 for ANY brand of earbuds is one of the biggest tech rip-offs going right now. Who knew that I could get the exact same sound from a $30 pair of GNMN M7 wireless earbuds as I do from the AirPods?I highly recommend the M7s for the excellent sound quality, the comfort, and the price. For such a good pair of earbuds, this is an incredible deal.
