CONCLUSION

   To most of you out there (including us) xFyro should be unknown so when they reached out to us and asked if we'd be interested in testing our their xS2 Wireless Earbuds we had no reason to say no. To our surprise the sample arrived just 2 weeks after that and we've been using the xS2 ever since (almost a month while on the go or working out - personally I’ve used them on the treadmill quite a lot). Now the good news is that quality is better than expected especially when it comes to the aluminum case which looks and feels far more elegant than any of the cases we've seen to date bundled with similar models (it's also available in red and blue). The earbuds are indeed IP67 certified (didn't submerge them into water but they are still fine even after numerous runs on the treadmill - sweat tends to destroy most earbuds) and fit really well in the ear but when it comes to design they don't come near to what we've seen recently (our size comparison picture clearly shows that). The same applies for audio quality and although the xS2 offer clear and accurate mids and highs with a sufficient amount of bass (volume level is also good with no distortion even at full) they still fall short to the Elite 65t by Jabra and the ERL ones. We did like the fact that the charging case can also be used to charge your portable devices but with a lithium-ion battery pack of just 850mAh it's a very limited feature (hopefully xFyro will improve on that). As for battery life since we like using all earbuds that get here at full volume (helps to check for distortion) we never did hit the advertised 5 hours but we did almost hit 4 which is not a bad number at all (plus the charging case did extend that to slightly over 16 hours).

   Price is what makes or breaks products like the xS2 wireless earbuds by xFyro and there’s really is no way we can ignore its current price tag of USD125 (Directly from xFyro) which honestly is just too much for what you're getting. Sure the IP67 certification is nice to have and can certainly come in handy (especially if you like working out while listening to music) and the aluminum charging case looks and feels quite luxurious but when the ERL earbuds produce better audio accuracy, are water resistant and cost almost 45% less we are very skeptical. Of course if you'd like a pair of wireless earbuds which you can even use while swimming (build quality is overall higher compared to that of the ERL) or if you'd like a pair that stands out (mainly due to their charging case) the xS2 are ideal. At the end of the day we certainly do recommend checking the xS2 Wireless Earbuds by xFyro out not only because of their features but also because they do stand out.
