Just got my Helm Audio Earbuds today in the mail. I paired them to my phone and started listening to some music. First thing i noticed was the sound quality. These have to be the best sounding Earbuds on the market. The Noise Canceling adds the extra touch to the earbuds. I love the design it looks very sleek. They fit will in my ear with the Comply True Grips that come with the earbuds. They feel pretty comfortable after a while in my ear. Also they look very sleek in my ears compared to other earbuds that i have owned. Overall these headphones are amazing after only a few hours of having them. I would recommend these to some who is looking for a good sounding Earbuds for an awesome price. Even though they are wireless earbuds they do pack a punch.
I love these headphones. I originally bought them for the gym but also use them when I am studying.
I was immediately impressed by the packaging and the variety of earbuds. I really appreciate the true grip earbuds that can provide some noise cancelling while I study!
I found them very easy to fit in the ear and to connect to my phone. Once they are paired It’s an easy one button job.
The sound quality is excellent. It comes out clear with a solid bass. I didn’t notice any delay between my phone and the sound out of the headphones.
I’ve also been impressed by the range and the battery life. I got at least two or three hours out of them in my first couple of days use.
The docking station was an unexpected surprise. The earbuds are magnetic and snap into the docking station and then light up so there’s no question they are in and charging.
I would definitely buy these again.
Great headphones with awesome bass. I just wish the play time was at least 4-5 hrs but the play time is the norm for true ear buds across the market of about 3.5hrs. Pairing in the beginning can be interesting. I suggest when you turn on your ear buds when you 1st pair them, holding the smart button down for 15-20 seconds on both buds with your Bluetooth off on your device until your hear "pairing successful". Then turn on your Bluetooth and select the "Helm R" device. LET THE MAGIC BEGIN! In the beginning I was having the L & R ear buds independently playing music in sync but when I was selecting the earbud controlling option each earbud controlling option function was doing the same thing. This is an indicator that they are not paired successfully. Other than that, love them!
I use Audio Technica ATH-M50x over-ear headphones for the majority of my music listening. I love them for their clarity and high fidelity. However, it's a real pain to tote them around everywhere, especially traveling, so I decided that I'd look for some high-quality *wireless* earbuds. I have always found that wired earbuds fall out of my ears easily due to the wire getting caught on pretty much everything, hence the wireless requirement. AirPods were out since no Apple earbuds have ever fit my ears and there seem to be hundreds of options to choose from otherwise. I am very picky with my earbuds due to being spoiled by my ATH-M50x, so sound quality was a top priority.
Then, I found these. While I think it's pretty impossible for any earbuds to provide the crystal clear sound of my ATH-M50x over-the-ear wired headphones, the HELM Audio True Headphones have come pretty close. I would give it a five-star rating, except for the heavier bass than I am used to. This was easily fixed using EQ Bass Reducer in my music settings, so take it with a grain of salt.
As for the fit, the default size tips that come already installed on the earbuds were slightly too small for my ears, and they began to slip out. This was easily remedied by the two other sizes in the box, plus the real MVP: the Comply memory foam earphone tips. These things hold better in my ears than any other earbuds I've ever tried. Seriously, they're like magic. Plus, they are exceptional at noise-canceling. While not as extreme as wearing earplugs, they provide an airtight seal that keeps almost all external noise out of my listening experience.
As for the rest of the features, like the portable charging case, the control buttons on each earbud, and the sound quality of the microphone: the case holds a charge well and keeps your earbuds safe when they're not in use. The control buttons do exactly what they say, I especially like the fact that the left earbud allows you to skip forward/backward a track. The built-in microphone in the earbuds is not their best feature since the quality is grainy and sounds like I'm far away (tested using Voice Memos app), but it's functional for hands-free calling. I don't plan on taking a lot of calls in the future, although the built-in microphone on my phone is noticeably better, so if I have to I'll probably use my phone.
I'm not sure why a few people seem to be having trouble setting them up correctly. All I had to do was hold the buttons of both earbuds until they connected to each other (which they will announce once complete). Follow the instructions and I see no reason why they shouldn't work.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the HELM Audio True Headphones. If you're looking for some quality wireless earbuds for a great price, look no further than these.
These headphones are amazing regarding the sound quality. For deep bass music (EDM, R&B, Pop, etc) the bass is rich and vibrant. When listening to EDM, the bass makes you feel like you are at a club minus the thumps felt in the chest.
There are flaws though. The pairing takes a few moments to get everything booted up. And after the left ear is paired, it seems to run at half volume compared to the right. The trick I found to quickly fix this is working around the other flaw. Which is when you bring your hand up to headphone and keep it there for 2+ seconds, it will disconnect the headphones from each other. They quickly reconnect soon as your hand moves away but its still annoying while learning how to operate the touch controls.
The other flaws are valid regarding the headphone case being a bit cumbersome to open, after learning where the right pressure points are it gets easier. Having to push the button to start charging is annoying if you are in a hurry and forget to push it to activate. I haven't used the headphones in high traffic areas to see if there is disconnect issues yet where there are many other devices.
I can never find a pair of ear bud headphones that fit my ears proper and don't start hurting after an hour of use but I would say after use, these headphones hurt the least out of all the ear buds I ever used.
For the price point, these headphones are great just alone for the music quality vs. the cheap ones that you see spammed all over amazon's front page. Spend the extra money if audio quality is your #1 priority on a budget. The flaws are easy enough to work around.

I have been testing multiple earbuds and I have been using these ones for a week and I'm pretty damn impressed. Overall aesthetic is money and I couldn't be happier with what I'm hearing post-paring.
Pros:
+ Excellent sound quality
+ Fit nice in the ears
+ Intuitive touch controls
+ I really like the case. The internal charging mechanism and the magnets are a nice touch.
Cons:
- One session I experienced some choppiness that I've since been unable to recreate
- I wish the case was easier to open with one hand.
- The programmed voice is interesting
These earbuds are perfect for the person who wants to be free from cords! Easy to charge, easy to fit in your ears, easy to pair, sound great! Buttons to change volume and move forward a track or answer your phone are easy to get to but a bit touchy... I think with a little more use I'll get the feel down. Best is the sound quality as well as blocking out extraneous noises, I can't wait to try these motorcycling. A definite bye if you're looking for wireless !
These really do sound great!! I've been working out with them for a couple of weeks now with no issues. The call quality is not the best but that is not a deal breaker for me. I will usually wear them until the batteries die and they are very comfortable for that amount of time. Great Earbuds!!
These headphones were much better than I hoped for. They fit very comfortably and sound great and the charging/carrying case feels like quality. The price point and comfortability make these so much more worth the overpriced airpods
