Decent for the price.

You can't beat the price for a decent quality name Brand earbud... My only critique is the shape comes out of my ear a lot? You have to really really swap out on the earphones to get the just right fit. Anything too big. It falls out anything too small pressure pushes it out... Not to mention the battery life is average.... However, on a high note, the sound quality is very good and it does have decent loaves to balance out the highs... Overall on sale. It's a good buy retail move on to the next Set.....

Product produces good sound, good hearing quality. Just have to seek the best comfortable fit from accessories to accomplish that goal.

Problems

Havnt had good look know problem with pairing and havnt got it resolved seems I have to get a new pair and find the receipt which I don't even remeber where I bought them from so just gonna by a different set and move on. The right ear piece use to work than one day started flashing blue and not connecting. I've unpaired them tried to update everything I could find online to no avail. Representative was almost zero help so was thrilled to get yamaha esr buds had always been a fan of there receivers and home speakers. Definitely not good luck with these ear buds. And from what I've found online it's a known problem and there is absolutely no solution but to have them replaced unfortunately

Great Affordable wireless earbuds

These are a great option for earbuds if you aren't a fan of Apple products. I think knowing that they are Yamaha brand helps because they're well known. They are truly wireless and connect to Bluetooth without any problems. The fit fairly comfortable in your ears as well, but I do find myself needing to adjust them here and there. The materials of the product are a little cheap feeling and I was expecting it to feel a little more high quality considering they are Yamaha brand, but overall work great.

Solid earbuds, if unremarkable

What I Liked: Packaging/Instructions: While not the most important aspect of any product, I do at least want to call attention to the initial experience of unboxing and setting up the earbuds. The design of the packaging is modern yet interesting, and the instructions were very clear. From the start it felt like a very premium product. Sizing Options: As with other earbuds, this product came with multiple sizes of the rubbery inner-ear bit (4), as well as multiple sizes of a rubbery outer-ear bit (3). I was very impressed with the amount of customization one can do by mixing and matching the different sizes (each of which are labeled for easy sorting) to ensure the snuggest and most comfortable fit Design: Overall, the design is very nice. They feel substantial without being heavy or cumbersome, and look quite good in the ear. The layout of the button controls is quick to get used to, and the earbuds are consistently responsive to the presses Battery Life: Coming from using Airpod Pros, the 9 hour usage time was easily my favorite feature of this product. I almost always have an earbud in playing something, and not having to switch it out every 4 hours is something I do miss when I use my Airpod Pros Sound: While I have more to say in the following section regarding the audio quality, I do have to say that the sound is very good. Compared to my Airpod Pros there is a slightly stronger bass which I really like, and everything I've listened to with these sound very nice What I Didn't Like: Design: While I do enjoy the overall design, I prefer a sleeker look overall. As mentioned earlier, I am an Airpod Pro user, and one of my favorite parts of that product is that they blend in quite well with the ears, making them harder to notice when someone is wearing them. These are very noticeable in a way that most earbuds are. In addition, the case itself can be a little bulky due to the size and shape of the product. Not a flaw of the product at all, just not my personal taste Fit: After trying the different sizes of both attachments, I found a combination that fit me very well?while sitting still. While they remain comfortable, I find that the "seal" gets broken very easily when talking or moving my mouth. For comparison, my Airpod Pros' seal really doesn't break unless I actually take them out. They also never feel 100% secure in my ears. I haven't experienced them falling out, but if I were doing any sort of strenuous exercise I wouldn't have the most confidence in them staying in. But seeing as ear shape varies by person, other people may have better luck with fit Ambient Noise: This feature is so close. The ambient noise mode absolutely works, and does so quickly and consistently, but I find there to be a snowy kind of noise when using that mode. For comparison, the ambient noise mode on my Airpod Pros has a very true-to-life sound without the added white noise Value: As mentioned before, this product sounds great. However, comparing them to other earbuds is where my opinion of the product starts to waver. I use Airpod Pros with the knowledge that their focus is convenience and compatibility, rather than audio quality. Yes, they sound very good, but nobody is buying Airpods of any kind because they want the best quality audio that money can buy. Saying that, other than a slightly deeper bass, there is almost no difference in sound that I was personally able to detect. Someone with more audio knowledge might notice things that I don't, but speaking as a pretty casual user, I guess I expected a more jarring difference (although I can't use my expectations to objectively critique a product). The biggest shock came from when I compared them to a pair of $20 earbuds I bought a while back on Amazon. While the cheap earbuds are noticeably worse in every single way, there was still way less difference in sound quality than I would have expected between products of such drastically different price points. All of this is to say that while I have zero bad to say about the sound quality, I don't quite feel that the price justifies the quality overall Final thoughts: At the end of the day, this is absolutely a solid product. It is clearly well-made and of very good quality, and if the design is something that someone personally likes then I think that this could be an excellent product for that person. For me though, I went into these earbuds wanting to betray my loyalty to my Airpod Pros. I've always known that better earbuds exist, I've just always liked the design and convenience of them. Now that I've used these for a while, I still plan on primarily using my Airpod Pros. Will I use these again? Absolutely. I think something like a long plane ride could be perfect with the battery life, and having a backup pair of anything is always nice. However, I just don't think this product is for me personally. Final Rating: For me - 3/5 For the right person 4/5

Decent Quality

Appreciate the quality of the headphones, definitely able to handle any elements when it comes to using them outside. One thing I wasn't too fond of was the size. It's hard for me to keep headphones in my ears during workouts and these were prone to popping out frequently. For a casual listen, I would recommend based on the sound quality but definitely wouldn't utilize for any activity that involves a lot of movement.

Cool Earbuds

I received the Yamaha TW-ES5A True Wireless Sport Earbuds from BzzAgent to test. I really like the case that they come in. It protects them as well as charges the earbuds. It takes a C Charger and it really doesn't take very long to charge the case back up at all and the charge lasts for quite some time if they are just sitting in the case. If you've drained the earbuds with usage they charge back up quickly. You do have to install some software that allows them to pair with your phone. I have a Motorola and it would not pair otherwise. Because I couldn't download the software onto my kindles I couldn't use the earbuds on those devices. Through the software app you can pick what sound quality that you prefer, this just takes a few minutes and you're ready to go. I really like the sound quality and how they fit in my ears. I don't feel any discomfort at all. The music is crystal clear as are my phone calls. The buds stay in and have only fallen out a few times. I prefer these to most other buds.

Can't hear anything

My husband has been using these and loves them! He does landscaping and is a drummer. He said they work great for both work and play. The headphones cancel out the loud sounds of the mowers and blowers. He said as for the drums they are perfect for canceling out sound so he can play along with music. He said they are on par with some of the headphones used by professionals. He absolutely loves them.

Good but uncomfortable

They work really good with most apps. Good quality audio. Like the Quick controls. The only thing not liked is the comfort. The feel very uncomfortable, I'm guessing because I have small ears.

Really clean sound

I was impressed with how nice music sounds, even at a lower volume. Not sure how much I love having the "volume up" and "volume down" buttons on the same ear bud. I know i would easily forget which one did what. Couldn't tell much difference between the ambient sound mode being on and off. Maybe would work better if I had the music way more up but I wouldn't ever listen to it that loud I'm not normally a huge fan of ear buds with the "plugs" but these were surprising more comfortable than others I have tried. I typically use AirPods on a daily basis and would not choose these over them for that use. But for running/being active and moving around a lot, I really like that these are so snug and I don't have to worry about them falling out.

Nothing special really

Coming from apple AirPod pros, these really don't bring anything new to the table, sure they sound fine. Bluetooth range is as good as any pair. Not sure how much they go for but if they're affordable I suppose I wouldn't advise against them. I love Yamahas audio in general, I have a pair of HS8s in my studio which I love. Just not the wireless earbuds for me.

Great Bass & Ambient Noise - Underwhelming

I was very excited for this pair of headphones! The packaging looked nice but was a bit difficult and confusing to open. Because if this, my new headset fell on the floor when I pulled it out of the box. The case/charger is fairly large and the headphones themselves are also larger than other wireless earbuds I've owned. For a nice brand like Yamaha, I was surprised that the headphones and case both felt plasticy. Once I found the right size silicone buds, the headphones were quite comfortable & snug on my ear and did not stick out very far. The physical buttons are a nice touch and the in ear detection was excellent. The accompanying app is very straightforward and helps with setup and configuration. Unfortunately the most important part - music and phone calls were underwhelming. The bass is quite good but the overall sound is comparable to a cheaper pair of earbuds. I was also told that I felt echoy and far away during phone calls. Battery life is good and it is easy to see charge levels. Because I have never used ambient earbuds, I found it a bit odd but it seemed to work very well. You are able to turn the ambient noise setting on/off in the app which is very helpful. Overall, the features worked well but I was disappointed with the sound quality, large size and plastic feel.

Excellent sound and comfortable to wear

Yamaha TW-ES5A True Wireless Sport Earbuds have become my default earbuds, due to their comfort and excellent sound quality. These are my first pair of wireless earbuds and after trying them, I can say that I can no longer go back to wired earbuds or headphones. The earbuds were easy to setup, are comfortable to wear for long periods of time (even while exercising), and have amazing sound quality. Listening to music just went up to a whole new level. I am also able to hear calls clearly, and the microphone did a great job picking up my voice so the person on the other end could still hear what I was saying. The ambient sound feature is also nice when I'm out in public and need to be aware of my surroundings. The battery life also seems great too - I am able to use these earbuds to listen to music for about 4 hours a day, for 5 days, before I need to recharge them. Overall, these are excellent wireless earbuds and would highly recommend them.

GREAT sound

I loved how quick and easy these were to setup with my phone. I am still getting used to and learning the buttons which are not the easiest buttons to push. They are small and I seem to not hit the correct one the first time. The sound quality is great. I love all the additional pieces you have to customize the ear cushions. I do wish that some of these ear buds would actually come in sizes. My ears are tiny so many of these still feel big even though I can use the smaller pads to help. I love to use these while driving and at the gym. The gym would be my main reason for needing these and recommending them to family and friends.

Ahhhhmazing sound!

Let me say, these are the best fitting earbuds I've ever tried. I've found that usually, even with different size pieces, others don't fit right. These fit like a glove and stay put! The sound quality is second to none. I can rock out to my favorite jams, dance around the kitchen, and they're crisp and clear! Also impressed with the long battery life. Can't wait to try these on my next overseas flight!

Work and fit well!

Yamaha TW-ES5A True Wireless Sport Earbuds are comfortable to wear and have great sound quality. While working out, I normally wear corded headphones. I was concerned because other earbuds I have tired never fit right in my ears. They were uncomfortable and would fall out. These Yamaha earbuds fit in perfectly with the default buds. They were easy to set up with my Google Pixel phone. I use a Bluetooth transmitter on my iPod Classic and it pairs seamlessly to the ear buds. The sound quality is great. It is easy to adjust the volume, change a song or answer a phone. Overall, I am impressed with the fit and feel or the ear buds. I can get an intense workout in and they stay put. I would recommend this product.

They fit sooo comfortably. And if you needed to adjust, it comes with other bud sizes to find the right size. I'm so glad they stay in place when I move around, especially when I jog. They have great sound quality. I can't imagine not listening to music without these. 10/10 recommend.

Great sound

The Yamaha TW-ES5A True Wireless Sport Earbuds were easy to pair up with my cell phone, tablet, and even my ipod. It has clear crisp sound that is very easy to hear. It can be loud or low depending on your mood. But the sound is so clear it feels like you are in the room with the person you are talking to or hearing a song in the same room. Unlike other earbuds they fit nicely and securely in the ear without falling out or coming lose. I love the way they look and the way they perform.

Seamless connection

These earbuds have a seamless connection and a very clean sound. I like that there are multiple tips of different sizes to make sure they fit comfortably in my ear without falling out. These are good for the gym. They didn't fall out during my workout. The sound is clear even if the volume isn't all the way up. They don't feel bulky or heavy in my ear. Overall, it's a solid pair of earbuds and a nice stocking stuffer.

My New Traveling Ear Buds!

I've been using a cheap pair of wireless ear buds for a few months now when I go for walks, or I'm a passenger in long car rides, and I've always thought that the sound on mine were amazing. That is, until I was sent these TW-ES5As recently. Words cannot describe the sound quality of these ear buds. They are very crisp, and clear. The bass frequencies are not wicked muddy, and it doesn't drown out the rest of the music like most cheap "quality" headphones do. The highs and the lows are right where they need to be for peak clarity. Out of the box, the default bud tips were a bit too small for my ears, but they very generously include multiple sizes and replacement parts so that these ear buds are always comfortable, no matter the person who wears them. By owning these ear buds, I can do so much with them now, from long car rides, to taking walks, or jogs, or even producing music for those musically inclined. These ear buds are an all around "good to have" product, and the price point is perfect for it. If I find these ear buds last me a long time, and stop working down the road, I feel very much inclined to purchase these ear buds again, because I just can't get over the sound of them. I will easily be flaunting these to friends and family, because they are THAT good! To wrap things up, the box includes multiple booklets with instructions that are clear and easy to read. They really help set things up with no problem. If you are not a tech-savey person, don't fret, because these booklets lead everyone in the right direction. All in all, my official rating is 5 stars! 10/10!
