Dodocool is another budget brand that sells peripherals on Amazon. The first of the two products they sent is a pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones.
Each earpiece is quite large, but they include a large bendable ear loop that goes over your ears. This creates a very secure fit in my case, they create a good seal within my ear, and there is little to no wobble when I move my head about. Most importantly no matter what I did the earpieces never fully came out of my ear, and only occasionally became slightly loose.
The controls of the headphones are located on the right side, and it is quite large and kept quite high up on the cable. While the earpieces themselves were very comfortable, I found that when running or other vigorous exercises would create the control to bounce about. This didn’t dislodge the earpiece, but it was quite annoying. The microUSB port on the control is protected by a cover so it should stop sweat/water ingress but the buttons on the control don’t look that waterproof in my opinion. Dodocool does claim that these are IPX5 rated so it should never allow water or sweat ingress from any direction.
Pairing the earphones was quite simple as with almost all devices nowadays. Once paired I found the earphones to sound exceptional based on the £18.99 price tag. They have a very nice level of bass, and both the mids and highs were also very clear, with no harshness. Sound quality isn’t as good as the Bose SoundSport Pulse I reviewed, but these are nearly 1/10th of the price.
I have previously reviewed cheap Bluetooth earphones in the past that had superb sound quality, only to find they completely die after 2-3 months. I have no way of telling if this will be the case here, but the controls could be the weak point for people like myself who exercise and sweat a lot.
Overall
For the price these are very good earphones, they are not the most attractive, and the jury is still out on their durability, but for an affordable set of earphones these seem like a great option to choose.
I reviewed the Audio Pro C5 MKII back in December. It is a superb multiroom speaker that I think makes an excellent alternative to Sonos products if you want something a bit more aesthetic than a black box. During the review, I became aware of the impressive range of speakers available from the brand. I…

Back when I was a drunk I used to lose my keys all the time, more recently I lost my keys in the gym which also included the keys for my bike lock, and therefore ended in a long walk home. I reviewed TrackR Bravo several years ago, and after a short period of time…
One of the major gripes about Netflix in the UK is the fact it has less content than its US version. This has led to a whole new range of online services allowing you to access international content from the UK. This originally was done just using a VPN to reroute your traffic through the…
It could be argued that now is not the best time to buy a TV, but I needed one and my requirments were relatively simple, I wanted a large 55″+ TV for less than £1k. Ideally I wanted 60″ or 4k but these too requirements appear to be unreasonably based on my budget. After researching…
Following on from my review of the excellent Engwe Engine Pro last month. I have recently been riding the Cyrusher XF900. This is a full-suspension fat tire bike that is equipped with a 750W Bafang motor and comes with a rear pannier rack and mudguards. Like most of my eBike reviews, Cyrusher is a Chinese…
