Do they have a built in microphone?
A shopper
on Dec 26, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Yes, but the microphone isn’t very good. I’ve tried using these for phone calls a few time and have always gotten complaints that the other person can’t hear me. They are decent earbuds for listening to music but the microphone isn’t useful.

Can you use them independently?
Oscar C

BEST ANSWER: Yes, I often use just one of them without any issues. I only take the one I am going to use out of the charging box, and I have used the left and the right one alone without issues.

I have the TWE4 and I think this is a major flaw. It's really difficult to re-sync since it's constantly trying to sync with each other (L+R) as well as the source. I wish they would disable the ability to use them independently since all the controls are on the left earbud and the right one is the one that syncs first with the source which renders you without control.

It seems these go to sleep if they are not being used. Then they shut off completely and will not start again until placed in the case.
How long is 'sleep', and how long before it shuts off completely?
Is there any way to start them again once turned off without putting them back in the case? Tapping does not work.

BEST ANSWER: They don’t sleep. They power down after 5 minutes. You have to put them in the case for a few seconds to reset them.
FROM THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL:
“Remove the earphones from the charging case to power them on. Insert the earphones into the charging case to power them off.
Note: If the earphones are not able to establish or maintain a connection for 5 minutes, they will automatically power off. To power them back on, insert them into the charging case, then remove them.”

Great product for the price
I Ordered six pairs of these earphones for myself, family and friends. They are not concert hall quality but they have decent sound for the price. People who call me say the song quality was as good as talking directly to the phone. I have been using them for three weeks now and I have had no problem with these earphones!

So far I have purchased 6 pairs of these ear buds for myself, family and friends. Decent sound.

Great value - good fit - decent sound. Recommended.
Great value - Fits my difficult earshape better than other bluetooth headsets with earbuds. One of my buds became "lost" for a day - was unresponsive - no charging light, no nothing. But after a day in the charger it's back to life and has been good for weeks. You must remember to carry the tiny charger-box if you want to be sure to use the things all day - if they shut down, there is no 'ON' switch - a quick in/out of the charger box does that. Overall, highly recommended. If you want to use the microphone for phone calls, remove the Right-side bud and speak into its microphone hole. If left in-ear the microphone sound quality is pretty bad.

Good for the price
Are these AirPod slayers. No. Are they a good buy when on sale? Yes. Battery life seems to be as advertised, and for not having active noise canceling, they do a decent job blocking outside noise. They are comfortable for wearing around the house and light activity. The fit is fairly secure. Not sure I'd do hard core working out with these, but I don't do it anyway. They protrude just enough that sleeping in them might be uncomfortable, especially for side sleepers. Sound is better than expected at the price point. Bass is good, maybe a bit more than needed, but I'm told that's what the kids like these days. An occasional digital static can be heard at lower volumes in my right earbud which is annoying enough to take it down a star.

Wireless music and okay calls
These sound okay. Calls are difficult for others to hear you if you are in a noisy environment. But, for the price I was mainly looking for some wireless earplugs that play music and they do that well.

Great for music. Not for gaming.
I bought this for gaming because I though that better sound would improve my performance. They do have great sound but unfortunately, they have about a 1/2 second delay so they are impossible to use for gaming. I have tried turning off the ambient sound and the noise canceling, I have tried every mode of operation and compared to my wired headphones, they still have about 1/2 second delay. I have even contacted Monoprice and they had no solution. I guess it is due to the signal processing.
So for music great. Not for gaming

short on bass
These are everything I would want, except not nearly enough at the low frequencies. Well-made, thoughtful design, easy to put in/take out, very comfortable, I hardly know they are there, holds charge well. Sound is very good, very clear. The lack of controls is ok with me, I will not be using them with phone calls. Reception distance is at least 25 feet through 2 walls and a door from my newer phone, not good at all with my old tablet. I like that their case contains charging ability away from being plugged into an outlet.

I did not expect much at this price, and was pleasantly surprised by how damned good these things sound. Worked right out of the [tiny] box. First impression is wow.
