Erato Apollo 7 True-Wireless Earbuds

Image
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). My favorite part of the Erato earpieces are the control button which presses nicely and sounds great in the ear without producing an annoyingly loud popping sound. Having this functional ability to control my audio and get feedback when I pressed the button is very welcoming. I love it
