The Ifrogz Impulse Wireless Earbuds feature custom-designed chambers with reflective acoustics, an advanced audio technology that apparently formulates sound based on the fundamentals of human hearing. This is combined with 11mm drivers that aim to provide a premium audio experience.

The Impulse comes in rather unimpressive packaging, but you should never judge a book by its cover. Packaging quickly thrown aside, you are left with earbuds available in black & silver or white & rose gold, and a series of silicone attachments in various sizes, to help you find the perfect fit for your ears.

First things first, these aren’t fully wireless headphones - they are attached to each other by a rather thin and flimsy-feeling cable with a control bar in the middle. The control bar features three buttons – two that can be used to adjust volume with a quick press, or skip tracks with a longer one, and a middle button that will play or pause with a quick press, and turn the headphones on and off with a longer one. The control panel isn’t massively responsive, and it seems hit and miss as to how long you need to hold the button down to skip a track. It also replies with an annoying beep every time you press the button - just turn the volume up, don’t interrupt my tunes.

As for the sound quality, these headphones are ok; they produce clear mid and high tones but lack punch in the bass, which leaves the overall sound a bit on the flat side. I do like the magnetic clip on the back of the control panel – it is handy for clipping on to the back of you collar without damaging your clothes, and you can let the headphones hang around your neck when not in use. The Impulse use Bluetooth to connect to your device but it has a weak range, cutting out when I walked out of the room.  They may technically be wireless, but this weak range doesn’t exactly free you up from your device unless you just want to dance about the room.

As much as I’ve be left underwhelmed by the Impulse earbuds, they do win points when it comes to price, combined with their light weight and their sweat resistant. I could see these coming to the gym with me, as I keep my phone on me when I work out and I wouldn’t be too upset if I left them in the locker room.

To conclude you get what you pay for with the Ifrogz Impulse earbuds: ok sound, ok quality, poor connectivity. RRP £34.99
