These brilliant white Buds from Donerton, also available branded as Jxrev IT108's, are typical of the latest generation of budget priced earbuds. The days have gone when true wireless earbuds were expensive, unreliable and sounded terrible.In fact, it is pretty hard to find a terrible set of earbuds. This new model is pretty typical of what you can expect for less than £20 – decent quality headphones with a good sound but nothing too exciting.

So why, at the time of writing, are these buds priced on Amazon at an eye watering £129.99. No one will buy them at that priced and no one is expected to, it is just a ruse so they can reduce them down to £20 and trumpet about it. When you read this review I would expect the price to be in the £20 range.

Getting back to the headset, you will find all the latest boxes are ticked – Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C charging, IP7 water resistance and 4 ENC microphones. In addition, the headset is robust, well made and unlike many of the rivals not hard to remove the buds from the magnetic case.

In the box, you receive two wireless earbuds, a 40 x 50 mm charging case, a charging cable, and a well written and easy to read user guide. Despite the light weight, everything has a quality feel to it but without the flimsiness of some rivals. I am not usually a fan of stem design earbuds but it usually does make for superior sound quality, more secure fitting and easier handling.

This new headset is compact in size with a glossy and eye catching white finish . Weighing in at just 4g each, the buds themselves have a subtly rounded design and although light in weight feel well made and refined. Each bud has a single Multifunction button on the top, two microphones with Electronic Noise Cancellation, two colour status LEDs and a charging point on the tip. The charging case has a USB-C charging port on the underside and a rather dim LED panel on the front showing the current battery status for both buds and the charging case. Next to the charging port is an easy to access reset button.

First time pairing could not be simpler and took just a few seconds. Simply remove the buds from the case and they will automatically enter pairing mode. Open the Bluetooth app on your phone and look for a new device called “IT108” and pair to it in the usual way. Subsequently, taking the buds from the case powers them on, and they connect to each other and to the phone automatically, returning them to the case turns them off and begins charging.

You should get between 6-8 hours of music time from each 90-minute bud charge and about 40 hours in total from a fully charged case, which also takes just 120 minutes to charge. There is a small and rather dim LED display on the case that shows you both the case and bud charging status.

The buds are small, neat and comfortable to wear even up to the full 8 hours of music. Calls were clear to hear and easy to make, perhaps due to onboard call noise reduction and 2 mics in each bud. I found call quality to be fine at each end of the conversation with no dropouts or excessive background noise. These stem format buds are easy to remove from the magnetic case and holding them by the stem prevents accidental button presses, for me a major selling point.

Sound quality is distinctly better than I expected, the sound is clear and well defined with markedly above average bass levels and a high end that is not too sharp or toppy, although I thought I did detect some clipping at times. The sound from most buds these days is acceptable but in this case that low benchmark is exceeded.

Each bud has a single soft touch button on it which can be used to end/reject calls, play/pause music, navigate tracks, alter volume and invoke your phone’s voice assistant. The buds can be used as a stereo pair but can also operate individually. The buds are IP7 water resistant rating and should be fine in normal rain or at the beach but not for swimming.

These headphones are typical of what to expect at the entry level, more than that, in fact this headset compares very well with the high-end rivals I have tried as regards sound quality and features. There are some missing features - LDAC support, multi-point pairing, app control - but nothing that bothers me too much. There is not too much to get worked up about but little to make you angry. This is a decent quality pair of no nonsense budget priced earbuds that sound good, work well and are attractively designed.
