APPLE IPAD MINI 1ST GEN 16GB WIFI CELLULAR MF442C/A - SPACE GRAY

The design of the earbuds themselves is nothing special - they are made of a combo of matte and glossy plastic with the latter imitating glass to some extent. The shape of the earbuds should be comfortable enough for long hours of use but we found that to be strongly subjective. Some colleagues at the office complained about discomfort after several hours of use but others didn't have this problem.

That's always going to be the case as people have different ear canals and fit will always vary. The BH-605 are a bit on the heavy side, though, which will make them even worse for those they don't fit well.

The default tips we found too small to securely rest inside your ear canal so we resorted to the biggest ones inside the box. It's crucial to find the ones that fit you the best as they benefit both fit and noise isolation, which in turn boosts sound quality.

Choose tips that are too small and music sounds dull and the bass is virtually non-existent. But with the properly fitting ones, you get considerably better soundstage, music sounds livelier and the bass suddenly appears. In fact the BH-605 are comparable to some of the most expensive offerings out there in this case.

The Power Earbuds are also IPX7 protected against rain and sweat - a bit higher rating than you'd normally find on TWS earphones. It will withstand outdoor conditions during training without any issues. Speaking of training, the fit was quite secure and even during intense workouts, the buds stayed in place. No issues there.

The control is pretty simple - a single tap on either of the buds pauses the current track, double tap on the right one skips to the next one and a double tap on the left one back to the previous one. The only issue we had with the controls is that we didn't always hit the right spot so the earphones felt a bit unresponsive. It takes some time before you hit the right area every time. Tip: aim for the upper part of the glossy area.
