What reviewers said

Kiwi Ears Spark

The Kiwi Ears Spark are open-style wireless earbuds aimed at active use, offering a sturdy build and a surprisingly detailed sound for their price. However, their design and fit present some practical challenges, with thin bass and overly reactive touch controls detracting from the experience. While they deliver solid battery life and a secure enough fit for some, the overall package feels compromised by a few notable execution issues.

  • Pro:Good battery life
  • Pro:Surprisingly clear sound for open earbuds
  • Con:Thin bass response
  • Con:Oversensitive touch controls
  • Con:Loose fit for some users

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro
