Quality product without breaking the bank

At first glance, the Otium Soar case looks interesting in its design to open. The mechanism to open is to push the side with your thumb. The internal plastic seems a little cheap but for the price, I do not expect premium and the outside it just fine. You would definitely need to use both hands to open the case, one to keep it still while the other actually does the pushing. The labeling on the inside of the case and on the device itself is nice to make sure you do not mix the left and right one up. Otium claims that the case says it can get 2.5 hours of charging and the headphones themselves last for 1.5 hours. This sounds about right with how they have worked for me. Compared to products like airpods and galaxy buds that is not a long time so if you were on the go these might not help you if you are not near an outlet. The case is charger is micro usb but I really wish I saw a USB type C charger. The buds themselves came with many different size options for your ears. The buds are conformable fitting in the ear for me. I did have to look at the manual to figure out how to set them up but it was not hard or time consuming at all. They do connect to themselves and they say connected which is a little strange because the first assumption is the voice saying connected would mean that it was connected to my phone, which was not the case. The buds at top volume are not as blasting as I can get my wired earphones at, which I would assume most people would not want to damage their ears anyway but that is a thing to keep in mind. It does a good job keeping most ambient noise out. The range on the Bluetooth is not that bad but you are usually going to be near your device anyway. When you put them back into the case it shows that they light up when they charge which is a nice feature. When I pull them back out they connect to my phone within a few seconds. When I went on a run with them they did not move at all and the sweat did not damage them. After using them for about a week my biggest con to them would be the battery life and the case size. The buds have died on me and I wish they could last longer. The case size is not ideal, especially if you do not have deep or lose pockets. That being said, for the price and what you get, these are not bad at all. These are perfect for people who want the wireless earbuds but do not also want to break the bank.
