I found the Erato Apollo 7 audio quality easily surpassing my expectations and other true wireless earbuds I’ve been testing. Erato Apollo 7 is a lightweight, totally wireless set of earphones that delivers mostly hiccup-free operation. They sound good, are sweat-resistant (great for running or outdoor activities), and a charging case with an integrated battery supplies multiple charges on the go (battery life is 3 hours).
