Design & Comfort
The Geekee G450 wireless earbuds have a low-profile and feature physical buttons for controls. They are accompanied by multiple silicon tips of different sizes as well as ear hooks. These earbuds have an ergonomic design and due to this they fit well and do not move at all. Hence, they work well for use during exercise. These earbuds weigh only 0.18 OZ each which makes them lightweight as well as secure and painless to wear.
You get a portable charging case with these earbuds that is rechargeable. The shape of the case is a little different from the usual pill-shaped cases we are used to seeing from budget brands. It is rectangular with a somewhat clear lid.
Inside the case, these are a couple of LED lights along with Geekee branding. The clear lid allows you to see the LED lights as well as when the earbuds light up.
Charging Case
The charging case of these wireless earbuds provides multiple recharges. These buds offer 3 hours of use with only one charge. The case, however, can add another 12 hours to this. As a result, you get 15 hours of total playtime with these wireless earbuds.
The charging case is a good size, not too big to carry around with you in your pocket.
Sound Quality
The sound quality is very bass-rich, and the highs and mids are very clear. Also, the volume can get quite loud. These buds also eliminate noise to improve your music-listening experience. Good for use in the gym.
Call Quality
The Geekee G450 earbuds allow for phone calls to be made with them. The microphone quality is not good at all as a result of which you have to speak loud to be heard.
Bluetooth
These wireless earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.0 technology. Pulling these earbuds out of their portable charging case will make them pair instantly and they also function in mono mode.
Control Features
Just like the Geekee G350, the Geekee G450 earbuds also have physical button controls that need to be pushed to operate the earbuds.
Each earbud features a button with the Geekee logo on it. Using these can push the earbuds deeper into the ear canal which can cause quite a lot of discomfort over time.
While button features can be a hassle to use, they are not as overly-sensitive as touch controls can be at times.
Water Resistance
The G450 earbuds have an IPX5 sweatproof rating. This means that these are protected against harm from rain, sweat, or splashes of water.
ANC (Active Noise Canceling Technology)
The Active Noise Canceling Technology is not present in the G450 earbuds. These do, however, provide great passive-noise isolation.
Extra Features
- Microphone
- Bluetooth 5.0
Specifications
- IPX5 Sweatproof.
