GEN3 TESTING FEEDBACK: Emma Olofsson
January 24
Emma is a free rider based in Queenstown...she gave the Gen3 Earshots a go for running and riding, this is what she had to say...
The Earshots GEN3 earphones are honestly a game-changer. The sound quality is insane - you can listen to any genre of music, and it’s just crystal clear. I even tried them with ASMR, which I listen to every night before bed, and I’ve never had a better experience. The sound is so immersive, it completely blew me away.
One of my favorite things about these earphones is how comfortable they are. The design hugs your ear rather than sitting inside it, which I find way more comfortable. Even with this design, the sound quality doesn’t compromise - it’s incredible. They’re so lightweight and snug that you barely feel like you’re wearing them.
The stronger magnets on the GEN3 are a huge improvement over the older model. These earphones stay put no matter what - I’ve tested them for running and biking, and they didn’t budge. They just stay locked in place, which is exactly what you want for active use.
The buttons on the Earshots GEN3 are simple and functional, doing exactly what you need them to without any fuss. They’re easy to access and responsive.
I also tried them with a full-face helmet, and they were perfect. The helmet slides on easily without shifting the earphones, and they stayed in place even when taking the helmet off. With other earphones, they tend to fall out or pull your hair, but the Earshots handled this flawlessly.
The only slight downside is that they can feel a bit uncomfortable when wearing sunglasses, as the pressure on the back of the skull can be noticeable. But honestly, that’s a minor issue compared to how amazing these earphones are overall.
Very impressed with these!
