truefree DS1 Open-Ear Headphones, Bluetooth 6.0 Wireless Earbuds with Ear Hooks, Spatial Sound, 4 Mics Clear Calls, 40H Playtime, Fast Charging, Multipoint Connection, IPX5-Rated for Sports, Snug Fit

Truefree DS1 earbuds after several weeks of using them daily. The overall build quality immediately stood out. The materials feel solid and well-engineered. The charging case and earbuds themselves feel well designed. The case incorporates a helpful display of charging status. Comfort has also been excellent. The earbuds sit securely without creating pressure or fatigue, even during extended listening sessions. It did take some getting used to the way the earpiece stopped short of the canal. With each use I appreciated them a little more to the point their presence is now barely noticeable. The audio is well-balanced and clear, with good detail across the range and a sense of separation. They perform consistently well across different types of content. Finally, multipoint connection support. The ability to seamlessly switch between devices works smoothly and reliably.

This is my first purchase from Truefree, and I’m writing this review after a solid four months of use. I’ve always been curious about the "open-ear" trend, primarily because traditional earbuds can sometimes feel invasive or cause fatigue during long listening sessions. I decided to give the Truefree DS1 a try, and they have exceeded my expectations for a budget-friendly model. Design and Comfort The open-ear design is a game-changer for situational awareness. Whether I’m walking through the city or working in an office, I can hear my surroundings perfectly while still enjoying my music. After four months, the ear hooks have maintained their shape and remain incredibly lightweight—sometimes I even forget I’m wearing them. Sound and Performance For an open-ear model, the sound is surprisingly crisp. While you won't get the deep, thumping bass found in noise-canceling buds, the mids and highs are clear. It’s perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, and acoustic tracks. However, I'd go to my earbuds and headphones for more immersive sound. Battery and Build Quality The battery life has remained consistent since day one. I typically get through a few days of moderate use before needing to top up the case. Despite being an "affordable" brand, the build quality feels premium and has survived four months of being tossed into my bag without any issues. Verdict: If you’re looking to try open-ear tech without breaking the bank, the DS1 is a reliable, durable, and comfortable choice.

I've been using these pretty heavily for a good 4-months and I can definitely recommend these for my somewhat unusual use case: sleeping with earplugs. I've used them almost nightly atop earplugs, and the volume doesn't need to be turned up all the way to be able to hear. Compared to other more expensive pairs in this use, these are top quality. I'm not normally a fan of over-ear hooks -- feels claustrophobic. Not these -- they really are so comfy you can forget they are there... or side-sleep. I'd say they are normally still attached to my head in the morning if I don't take them off first. The case is actually pretty slick -- you push down on the bottom of the headset and it pivots up making it easy to grab. I have them paired with my phone and PC, and they work seamlessly with the dual connection. The two issues I encountered: * They have a bad habit of waking up randomly in the case. Couple time a week my sound cuts out because they have connected. Simple enough to resolve with a wiggle. Could be mine, could be a bug. * Despite indications otherwise, they do not remember the "Game Mode" setting. This one is definitely a firmware bug -- I have several other truefree sets and the fact that they remember the low latency setting is one of my favorite things about the brand. (I admit it petty to dock a star for it, when most earbuds at this price range don't even have an app... but it's annoying lol) Not all is perfection, but at the $25 price point it's pretty close. These are still fairly new, so I could see these issues easily getting fixed via firmware, and truefree has had great customer support for me in the past. Remain a fan!

The Truefree Earfit DS1 delivers powerful, loud sound—adequate at just 10%, with 40-50% needed in busy environments. The microphone is clear, though background noise is picked up when recording. Its slim, neutral design with tail-shaped hooks ensures a secure fit, ideal for active use. The open-ear cushions improve sound isolation, though some ambient noise and leakage remain. The premium textured case features a battery indicator and houses medium-sized ear tips, with small pre-installed and large separately included. Connects quickly in 2-3 seconds, with instant play upon opening and no sound until earbuds are removed. Battery life is impressive—up to 40 hours total, nearly two weeks of use at moderate volume—charging individual earbuds with visual indicators. When the case is dead, earbuds stay connected until drained. Included are a USB-C cable, a rubber lace strap, and a manual. Overall, similar to an updated O2s, these earbuds offer reliable sound, durability, and convenience—great for everyday or active lifestyles.

These open-ear headphones are great. They are very lightweight, comfortable and easy to put on and the sound quality is very good. I primarily use them for watching television and the clarity of voices and quality of background music and effects is excellent. The headphones charge quickly and last a long time. I can easily get 8 hours of play time with these and 4 charges before the case needs charging. The case has a very nice display that indicates the level of charge in percent and bars for level of charge for each bud. The box is compact and light and charges quickly. The range is also very good, I can usually walk into another room and still be connected to the source and able to hear it well. Switching between sources is easy and the build quality is very solid. These are are great value at this price point and I would highly recommend them based on my experience with them.

Purchased to use for work calls, as I had an older version and the battery started to wear out. The microphone on both ear pieces are unusable, and after several phone calls with multiple people saying they could barely hear me, I had to stop using for phone calls. It’s unfortunate because the new design fit my ear perfectly and they are very comfortable.

I can’t say whether these were good or bad since I only used them for less than a day. The quality seemed very good, but they just weren’t right for me, so I ended up returning them for the reasons below. Because these are open-ear rather than in-ear, and given the size of my ears, I found it difficult to hear conversations or music clearly. When I pressed them closer to my ears, the sound was fantastic, but as soon as I let go, they moved away from my ear canal and the volume dropped significantly. I have been using similar in-ear models for years without any issues. I’m sure these will work great for most people, but unfortunately, they didn’t work out for me.

This is my second purchase of these headphones. I was so impressed with them that I ordered another pair so I would not have to do without them while charging even though it does not take that long. They are the fifth brand of headphones I have purchased and are so easy to use and the best quality ever. They are excellent for seniors and anyone without technical abilities because you take them out of the box put them on and enjoy. When they need charging you put them in the case and within an hour they are fully charged and ready to go for another 8 hours. I can easily get 8 hours of play time with these and 3-4 charges before the case needs to be charged. The case has a display that indicates the level of charge in percent and bars for level of charge for each bud. I love the sound quality and ease of use. Finally, before buying these when I sat out on my patio outside the back door I got nothing but static from my desktop trying to listen to Sirius music and podcasts so had a radio with a ipod connection. With these headphones I get excellent sound as if I was in the house, with the odd bit of static when I move my head quickly. I have been up to 40 ft from the house and still getting reception.

At 19.99 these are an absolute bargain. Great, secure ear hold with all day comfort. Great sound. Fairly compact charge case with much appreciated actual charge percentages. I'm charging every other day. I only wish they'd have shown an actual picture of how to fit the additional covers (fit the narrow end to the socket). I lost one by fitting them the wrong way round.

Les écouteurs sont super confortable Il y a des embout pour plus de maintien Le son est très bien En plus il y a un cordon si jamais ont fait du sport Ils sont de très bonne qualité Écran avec la batterie disponible

With my addiction to headphones and earbuds I was keen to try the new Trufree product. First thing I notice it that they are ascetically pleasing. The case has a nice texture that looks good and is functional was it is easy to grip and hold on to. Easy to fit into your pocket. The led display of the remaining battery is much nicer (and useful) that a few red dots. The fit is good for my ears. As they are not lodged deep in my ears they are very comfortable to wear for hours. They are light enough that you don't notice you are wearing them. The bluetooth connection is very quick and easy. I love that I can connect them to my phone and to my iPad simultaneously . The sound is great, good base. For the price point they punch much above their weight. Looks like my new favourite earbuds for now!

For its price, it's quite stylish, practical, and high-quality. I enjoy using it.

Mi experiencia con los truefree DS1 ha sido excelente. Son mis primeros auriculares de este tipo y los elegí basándome en las buenas referencias que había leído. Puedo decir que no me han defraudado en absoluto. Son muy cómodos y he podido llevarlos durante horas sin sentir molestias. Aunque había leído algunas reseñas que mencionaban el tamaño de las orejas y el ajuste, en mi caso la ergonomía ha sido perfecta: se sienten seguros y nada intrusivos. En el interior de la caja vienen unas gomas adaptadoras para mejorar aún más la comodidad; en mi caso no he notado una gran diferencia respecto a las que vienen montadas de serie, pero es un detalle que se agradece. No los he probado aún en espacios abiertos ni haciendo deporte, pero en mis desplazamientos caminando se mantienen firmes. No he tenido necesidad de usar el cable de seguridad anti caída, aunque me parece un valor añadido muy recomendable. La autonomía es realmente buena, lo que permite utilizarlos durante largas jornadas sin preocuparse por la batería. Además, la referencia visual de carga tanto en los auriculares como en el estuche facilita controlar el nivel restante y regular mejor los ciclos de carga. La configuración es sencilla e intuitiva, con varias opciones para personalizar el sonido. Aunque la configuración predeterminada ya ofrece una calidad notable, he probado otras que se adaptan mejor a distintas condiciones de escucha. El sonido espacial aporta una experiencia envolvente y los cuatro micrófonos garantizan llamadas claras incluso en entornos con ruido. El alcance del Bluetooth 6.0 también me ha sorprendido: he podido mantener conversaciones fluidas a una distancia considerable del móvil e incluso con alguna barrera arquitectónica de por medio. En resumen, unos auriculares muy recomendables por su comodidad, autonomía, facilidad de uso y rendimiento general. Una compra con la que estoy realmente satisfecho.
