The buds 6 play are in the house. I tested them with some tracks I recorded and they sounded good. I noticed details from my imperfect guitar technique, strange resonant bongs etc. I also listened to Yusuf Cat’s The Wind which was recorded in his home in Dubai(?) and it sounded good too. It seems to be good for voices, men’s and women’s. I played Tommy Emmanuel’s Angelina -a guitar solo, and it was sprightly with plenty of rubato. Finally, I sampled Taylor’s Fate of Ophelia and was surprised at the detail picked out during the diamond panel dress segment -there were some funky synth sounds in the background.
Downsides, it cuts out sometimes as I paired it with my Ubuntu laptop from 2015. Kinda expected that. Also there are no clear indicators (with the laptop) of which mode the buds are in.
Comfort-wise, they are good for my medium large ears. I find them pleasing in shape -like melted nougat but wonder why the case is so large. It could easily be 20% smaller. Closing the lid tho is pure class, with a whisper of a thud. Pairing was also painless. I like the way you can remove them by prying under their stubby stems which overlap the case base. Yea, in this example, the clamshell design really works.
Compared to the buds lite which I also own, the plays are more brash and coarse plus they have little noise cancelling ability. But I do like my music upfront and so I will say YES to buying these budget buds for those of you who are circa a 45RM budget.
