Back Bay Audio Mini Wireless Earbuds for Small Ears, Award-Winning Sound | Sweatproof Bluetooth Earbuds, Deep Bass, Tech Fitness Gifts for Men, Comfortable Bluetooth Ear Buds for Women

These earbuds fit my small ears perfectly and stay in place, even during workouts. They’re comfortable to wear for hours, the sound is clear with great bass, and the battery lasts a long time. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for comfortable, high-quality wireless earbuds.

I could tell right away when I opened the package that these earbuds were a step up in quality from others I’ve owned. They both look and feel well made, not cheap or flimsy. I’m not an audio expert, but the sound quality genuinely impressed me. Clear, balanced, and strong right out of the box. That said, I specifically chose these because I was hoping they would be smaller than other earbuds I’ve tried. They aren’t. Even with the smallest ear tips, they don’t fit securely in my ears. They sort of rest in place rather than locking in. The weight helps keep them from falling out easily, but the fit isn’t ideal for smaller ear canals. Overall, I think these are excellent quality for the price and would likely work great for someone with average or larger ears. If you have smaller ear canals like I do, the fit may be a challenge.

I’ve been using the Tempo 30 Mint Green Earbuds and I’m really impressed! The sound quality is clear with great bass, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for hours. I love the mint green color—it’s cute, unique, and stands out from typical earbuds. They connect easily, stay secure during walks and workouts, and the battery life has been great so far. Definitely a stylish and affordable option for everyday listening!

[UPDATED Jan 27 2025] Very late updating, but that only makes this more relevant. Back Bay addressed my previous problems with the earbuds in April of 2024. Since then I've used them daily without any issues. My only fear now is that they are almost a year old and might begin to fail. I love these earbuds and am not looking forward to the day that they stop working. Superior audio quality. Excellent mic, and stable connectivity. Everything one could hope for in earbuds. Despite the issues I had with my original purchase, I have upped my rating to 5 stars from 3 because these are without a doubt a 10 star product, but Amazon allows for only 5. [UPDATED April 24, 2024] Back Bay has addressed both malfunctions: the right earbud and the charging case. They quickly sent replacements for both, which I have received. I'm back to normal. Everything functioning properly again. If there is no repetition of the problems and the earbuds continue to function properly, I would consider this a glitch that was dealt with quickly and fairly and bump up my review at least a couple stars. Despite this setback, these are amazing to listen through and they are comfortable to wear for longer periods. Although I would rather not have had the experience of needing it, I'm happy to report that Back Bay's customer service is responsive, fast, and effective. They got me back up and running within a week. I'm grateful for that. [UPDATED April 13, 2024] It's been two months since I'd purchased these. I've used them daily. They've never been dropped or physically damaged in any way. I don't wear them outdoors. I use them as monitors beneath a pair of 30db noise reduction earmuffs when I'm playing drums in my studio. I use them because in conjunction with the earmuffs they allow me to hear the sound source, music or metronome, clearly at very low volume. This works much better than any of the "pro" level purpose built headphones I own and no longer use for this reason. So why the update? I was in the middle of a session recently when suddenly there was no sound from the right earbud. I did the necessary troubleshooting, followed the steps to reset them (multiple times), cleaned them (which I do anyway), but nothing brought the sound back. It was during this same time period I'd noticed the charging case wasn't fully charging. After ten hours charging it was still showing three solid lights with the fourth blinking continually. In other words only 50-75% charge, if it's accurate. I am outside of the return window, so Amazon sent over to Back Bay support. Back Bay contacted me much quicker than I had expected via email and had me redo all of the steps I had taken previously. When that failed they notified me that they were shipping me a replacement right earbud. There was no mention of the charging case. I reminded them again via email about the charging case problem and am awaiting a reply on that. I don't understand why they didn't address it along with the earbud, as without a properly functioning charging case the risk is either not being able to charge the earbuds or electrically damaging them. Either of which would render them useless. To wrap it up, I'm really disappointed about the two problems occurring so quickly after purchase. As, I'm sure anybody would be. I'm also disappointed that they didn't address both problems. If it were my company I would have. There's no logical reason to have ignored the charging case issue. They never acknowledged or said a word about it. Never acknowledged I'd sent them a short video showing the charging indicators blinking at was then the 12 hour period. They focused solely on the earbud. I don't understand it. Maybe their agent didn't fully read our correspondence, overlooking the charging case problem. I'll post an update when/if they get back to me and share if and how this is resolved. [ORIGINAL] I've used these daily for exactly one month today. I intentionally waited to review these to be sure I was going to get past any of the issues I'd read in other reviews, which seemed to take place in the first two to three weeks. We'll, I'm past all of that. I've only had one issue, which led to me starting the return process after one week. The earbuds kept disconnecting and reconnecting from one of my devices, which was something I'd read complaints about. But I decided to hold off on the return and I'm glad that I did. I still have that same problem, BUT as it turns out, it is only with that one particular device. I use the earbuds with three different devices and that problem has never occurred with any of the others. The device I have the problem with (a TV) is the one I used it with the least, so I believe the problem is with the TV's bluetooth stability and not the earbuds. Now onto the sound quality. Shockingly good! The sound reproduction and balance that can be achieved between highs, mid, and lows is truly impressive. No need to compensate for poor sound spectrum quality by nudging up the volume and d potentially damaging your ears by doing so. For the record, I'm not easily impressed when it comes to audio quality. All the phones in my studio are high end AKG's, my walking around phones have been and still are Bose QC's, which I always version up. Bose 901's in the living room, etc...Although some might argue there's better quality everything out there (brand loyalty and subjective tastes being what they are), one can't argue that I'm used to listening through garbage. That being said, these earbuds are a better cost to value purchase than much pricier offerings from the major brands, including Bose and Beats. Having compared to both, I feel I can say that with confidence.

I bought these earbuds three years ago. I have small ears so I had a hard time finding a pair that didn’t hurt. These fit well, sound great and are still working strong after three years and multiple drops. I would definitely buy them again.

UPDATE: I don’t know if I have been very unlucky or if this is just a common issue with these buds, but after maybe 2 weeks of use, my right bud lost almost all of its volume. I did all the troubleshooting, nothing worked, and while customer service was great (they sent me two replacement sets for free as I had the same problem with each set), I no longer felt they were worth the effort in the end. These are nice, when they work. Or until they stop working. Which may happen quickly and seemingly out of nowhere. I did also notice the fit wasn’t quite as secure as I would have liked with longer term wear. Eventually they’ll start falling out or need frequent re-adjustments. That can go for any buds, though, of course. YMMV. For me, it was a sad ending to this one. I was so excited and hopeful at first. I still stand by the overall sound quality, battery life, and the sleek, easy-to-fit design. And of course customer service; while I did decide to give up, the two replacement pairs were sent to me with no hassles, no additional cost, and in a very timely manner. All of that said, I just didn’t feel right leaving this 5 star review the way it was when I had many problems pop up shortly after I wrote it and felt others should be aware of potential issues. Original review: Some background: I have small ear canals with relatively small ears overall, and the cartilage of my left ear was shattered and is now permanently deformed—don’t get pierced with a gun, folks) so earbuds are a STRUGGLE when it comes to fit. I have tried so many. Most needed to be returned. Even if I loved every single other feature they possessed. Comply foam tips have been a godsend but it’s nice to not have to go through the roll and hold process if I want to pop in my buds quickly. I can manage regular silicone tips with my tozo a1 minis and my soundpeats mini pros, but I do need to adjust them from time to time. These buds? I didn’t even have to try other size tips; the ones already installed out of the box were perfect. If that’s not the case for you, you have 5 other options. They instantly felt completely secure and have an excellent seal. Comfortable, lightweight, and the first and probably only pair I’ll ever find that doesn’t mess with the anatomy I’ve got. They don’t fall out or shift on their own. No adjusting required. I’m not an audiophile, but they sound great to me. And they can indeed get VERY loud without distorting. I’ve only had these for a day so I can’t speak for longevity, but I was so impressed with the fit (the battery life is a major plus, too, and again, the sound is great for this price point) that I had to come write a review. If you have issues with fit, these are what you want.

Took a stab in the dark on these. Glad I did. For background, I’ve never been able to find earbuds that fit my ears. I have very small ear canals coupled with some cauliflower ear from my wrestling days. I’ve tried several buds including AirPods, Beats with ear hooks, and several Bose brands. Ultimately, I’ve had to stick with open ear earbuds. The first edition Bose open ear earbuds worked pretty well but would leave the tops of my ear sore after an hour or so. My wife bought me a pair of $300 Bose open earbuds ultra for Christmas. I loved them but one ear just didn’t fit right and hurt my ear after just a few minutes. The hunt continue until I found these…. Pros: Price. $50 for these is a great deal. The case is high quality and the sound is very good. The bass is strong and they have way more volume than I can comfortably handle. Half volume is plenty loud. The fit is great. The inserts are very small with plenty of tip options. Zero discomfort. So far these are way better than earbuds I’ve spent hundreds on, even for my whacky ears. The charge seems good, but I’m still in the early stages. Shipping was ultra fast. I think I got them within 24 hours. They also supposedly have a 1 year warranty. I haven’t needed to get support but seems like a nice protection length for $50. Cons: Range. You’ll need your phone in the same room as the earbuds. I tried walking down the hall and they quickly begin to lose connection after about 60-70 feet. The mic works good on calls, however I heard a little squeak from time to time during the calls. Not a big deal but a little annoying. Finally, I’ve noticed on occasion (every 10 min?) the sound will fade for a quick second. Not sure if it’s a connection issue or what but it’s rare enough it doesn’t bother me much. Overall, these are certainly worth a try for $50 if you’ve struggled to find earbuds that fit. If they were $100-300 I’d probably rate them 4 stars but at this price I couldn’t hope for more.

Pros and things I liked: I opened the package and found these buds to look and feel high end. The charging station is metal and heavier than many other cases that I've had, but not too heavy. This is not a negative but I'm thinking if you dropped it, your ear buds would stay unharmed and it might not break. I ordered the champagne color which was beautiful. Once they are in the ears they are practically not noticible. They fit in my ear fine, and they come with an array of silicone buds for any ear canal size which makes these very versatile. This is really a huge bonus of these buds. Easy to change out the silicone buds. They canceled noise easily and I barely heard my phone ring that it was not paired to and sitting on the table next to me. The value for the money seems to be amazing as they feel like a much more expensive brand. I tested them on a full charge on my computer, 1 phone, 1 tablet and Smart TV. They paired effortlessly an the battery life was great, and I didn't need to recharge them after a full day of use. They don't seem to put a drain on my phone battery. All in all these sounded wonderful and clear. The bass boost was not that noticible but it is there and they did not sound cheap and tinny. I'm unable to hear anything outside of the ear buds when anything is playing. Movie Mode seemed to correct all delays and lip synchronization. I'll probably put it on even just with music. The voice assistant brought up Google and Perplexity AI on my phone display. I didn't test that feature any further, but will do a voice call as well. Calling someone, they could hear me loud and clear and I could hear them. If I walk away from my paired phone, it says - "disconnected" so I know I've left my phone elsewhere. This is good actually since I have a habit of doing that when I have ear buds in. Cons: They made for sm aller ears, but seem big anyway. The bud itself is plastic with metalic outside that is visible when you are wearing it. When I first tested I had inserted them into my ears wrong. They should be comfortable, if they aren't twist them to get a more comfortable. Learning how to use them required long tap holds of longest 5 seconds. There is one mode that requires 4 short taps. It was a bit hard to get the hang of the taps and holds and I had made a copy from the back of the box so I could remember because I intended on taking them on a road trip. They didn't respond as easily as I had hoped they would so I had to do extra taps in the beginning due to user error, but all the features worked on 4 separate devices. They are a little bigger than I'm used to...but comfortable. Cons: They made for sm aller ears, but seem big anyway.

The technology in these may be older as I've seen reviews back to 2022. Summary: I like them - ear buds haven't progressed a lot over the years. I'm not willing to fork over the money for Sony or Bose etc. This is as close as I can get.

So far so good. Sound is awesome and the bass boost is great, really adds a 'punch' to the bass. Buds are small and don't protrude from the ears which makes them very stable and the 6 different sizes/styles of tips make customizing the fit very easy. I always seem to have a problem getting buds that fit comfortably but so far, (knock on wood) these are great. The case is actually aluminum not plastic and very small and comfortable in the pocket. The charging indicator is a series of 4 led's not a single led which, in my mind, makes it easier to tell how the charge is. Also it says in the instrutions that the case can be left plugged indefinitely so I don't have to remember to plug it in to charge it. A small thing yes but still a thing. If anything changes in the next couple of days, I'll post back with an edit. **edit** Couple days later and I'm still impressed. Only thing is I had to change the earpieces to a foam style which is my preference nothing to do with the actual bud itself. You have to remember to touch the bud in the middle to change settings but that's nothing, just a matter of getting used to it. I still think it's an extremely good deal considering the sound and comfort.

My daughter suggested these to me and to my surprise, I found them to be really great. At first I was afraid that they were going to fall out of my ears but they seem to be holding fast. The sound is clear and crisp. I only use them for listening to podcasts when I am out walking. The limited time I used these for music, I was also impressed. I had no problem connecting them to my Bluetooth on my iPad as well as on my Android phone. If you have more than one device, I suggest you turn off Bluetooth in the other ones for easier connection. I had some trouble connecting to the device I wanted because the other one seemed to be competing. All in all, an excellent product especially for the price. EDIT (5 MONTHS LATER) I stand by my previous comments. However 5 months into using these earbuds, the left one drastically got reduced in volume, to about half of the other one or less. Of course I did the usual things like tested these on another device; checked my own ear; reset them several times but the problem remained. Since I had registered them with the company in Boston and since I could download my purchase order from Amazon I had no difficulty in getting a replacement (in fact a whole new set). So I strongly suggest you register them ASAP once you purchase them and hang on to the proper documents (warrently and proof of purchase). Customer service answered promptly to my request; they were extremely helpful and within just a few days I had received the replacement even though I live in Canada in a relatively isolated area. In spite of the defective earbud, which apparently is common with many earbuds, I will still give this company 5 stars mainly because of customer support.

Love the color! The bass feature is fabulous for when I'm listening to my music, and since I watch alot of shows and the movie mode rocks!! Great value for the money! I've tried others than are supposed to be for small ears and they hurt!! These ones are so little I can even sleep with them in and they don't hurt, they even have five different sizes of rubber inner ear pieces that help them to fit properly!! Yay!! I would definitely recommend these for anyone with smaller ears who are tired of their ears hurting!

These work pretty good for my tiny little ears. I've never found an earbud that stays in. Having said that, if I have a good bail on my skateboard, they do fly out. You do have to pay attention and make sure you tuck them inside. But as far as they go, this is the best I've come across as far as earbuds. The sound is pretty good considering how cheap they were. I'd say it's worth it. It's not perfect but what's perfect in life? Is it as good as it gets? Unless you have something that hangs onto your ear or is bulky? But for what I need it's working out. The microphone works great. They are really sensitive and hard to turn off and on. They end up being connected a lot thus draining battery. They are not intuitive controls. But again for the price point pretty dope.

I was happy with the ear buds until the right ear bud stopped taking a charge. Since it is passed the 30 day return policy I have no choice buy to keep them. I tried to clean the contacts and made sure the case was changed to full but the ear bud will only charge enough to get about 5 minutes of listening out of it. I would not recommend others to buy these.
