True Wireless Earbuds, Sabbat E16 Bluetooth 5.2 Headphones with Immersive HiFi Stereo Sound, APTX Deep Bass CVC8.1 Noise Cancelling Built-in Mic TWS Ear Buds Headset with Game Mode Wireless Charging

The latest Sabbat flagship is an affordable if a bit no frills affair. It does the basic stuff and very well. It looks good, It sounds excellent, it works as it should with no issues, and it fits both very stable and comfortably. It is not that expensive but it does not have a big feature set. You can make calls, listen to all your content but it is just the basics plus Qi charging on the case. No active noise cancelling or transparency modes or other extra features. They just got it to work simply and right.You do get a nice packaging and presentation. A fair amount of and three styles of tips. Foam, shorter true wireless style, and more traditional silicone type.The design is an ergo housing designed to fill the ear, fit well, be comfy, get some isolation and fit more flush. It does have a protrusion or bump higher up above the battery contacts that will keep them from mashing into the ears when pressing the buttons. These do use buttons so you can handle them all you want with no accidental playing/pausing. You can use either side by itself and since one press is play/pause on both sides you do not lose control when choosing one side over another. The one thing that is less than ideal is 3 presses for volume up and down which can be tedious but you shouldn't have adjust much after you first do it and put your device down or away.Can't make declarative statements like some do since I have not heard all the options out there but these being the best sounding $99 TWS would not surprise me. They put an excellent combo driver in there, gave it the aptX codec and powered it well so the sound is pretty sweet. A rich "W" signature with solid bass, vocals, and treble. The dynamic handles the lows and has some warmth but is quick and tight. Like many dynamic earphones you can seal up more with certain tips but it will thicken the bass up some so the best performance is not to choke it off too much with the tightest seal. You'll still get iso from the housing which fill the ear nice. The upper range "magnetostat" driver handles things higher up and gives sweet vocals up through the treble. Good speed, air, detail, and clarity. Both combine for very good resolution and detail and space making them sound less wireless regarding the size, resolution, and extension of the sound. Nobody should have complaints if they can fit them right and even tweak to the perfect EQ for them. AptX helps out keeping some of the resolution but the drivers have plenty and you will notice it even on a cheaper MP3 with SBC only.Battery life is not the longest you will see at about 6-8 and 7 is normal. That battery life seems quite good since they have plenty of volume and the most I have had in a true wireless earphone. I can be at 30% vs 100% with a couple of other earphones so the battery will last what they say due to needing lower volumes and since the drivers are not underpowered to get higher battery I am more than happy with the battery life. An amplified like sound and plenty of headroom for any type of device is very nice even if the battery is 7 hours instead of 9 or 10. I'd choose the peak performance myself over squeezing the most efficiency.I rated these at 4 out of 5. Out of 10 I might give a little more, maybe 8.25. I would take off for a few things. The case which is nice and has wireless charging has a nice smooth open and close and stays open in the beginning. It does loosen up and not hold the lid open after a bit though it is solid and not cheap and "plasticky" but the smooth slow travel of the lid does seem to go away. These do not have an ambient or hear through option so you can't use the mics on board to stop and talk to people. Also the mics on calls can be a smidge warm though they work just fine but are not the cleanest sounding. The reception and stability is very good but not the best. No real complaint but I won't rated them as the strongest connection I have had and you can, depending on device, get body block when turning your head to the right away from the device. So, on your person like in a back pocket you might do better on the right side for no drops. Still does well in most cases even back pocket use. Just not the most rock solid I have had but again very good. The short true wireless style tips are quite good but you get only on pair and thus one size. A second larger size would have been nice and cover more peoples fit needs. Last thing would be for the three presses for volume which is not the quickest and easiest way to do it but at least it has volume control where some make you choose or leave it out. A few things that can be slightly better but none are worth staying away for. :)Not perfect. None are but these are a sweet pair. They work as they should and have not giving me any issues. They sound excellent, fit great, and show some effort and good design choices. Outside of Qi wireless no real special features but no bugs either. They do the basics and very well for a good price. They are high on my list of wireless favorites!

TLDR : skip this, save 20 dollars and get a 10x superior bud which is the sounpeats H1 for 80$.I have dual Bluetooth on my phone so i can do very fast switches between two sets. Ive paired the Sabbat against other balanced armature/dynamic sets geared towards budget audiophiles in the 100 dollar range which is against the soundpeats H1 and Soundcore liberty pro 2 the biggest competitors in this range. I come from 1600 dollar hifiman aryas on a thx 789 amp with schiit dac/preamps along with trying out multiple budget low tier sub 300$ headphones/buds/TWS like Sennheiser hd58x, hd6xx, senheiser momentums, ath m50/m40s, beyerdynamic dt770s, sony 1000xm4s/xm3 tws, bose, airpods pro, galaxy buds pro, master dynamic, KZ wired and wireless (chifi brand), tozo, enacfire, jabra,Sources used : tidal, spotify premium on a galaxy s20 feSabbat E16 Sound signature for the sabbat is similar to some AKG headphones. Most earbleeding of the 3 in loudness but hardly usableBass : its present, not very deep or rich, its there, does not add to the sound stage. nothing to write home about as mediocre performance as you can think of. Not ultra accurate or tight vs the soundpeats h1.Midrange - lower mids are nice and smooth, upper mids are very forward and in your face and gets worse at louder listening volumes which is very fatiguing.Treble/soundstage/imaging: lower treble in the ssss and shhh which is around the 5000hz to 7000hz region is extremely elevated and ultra unpleasant. Highs and detail is forced and not natural at all which messes with instrument seperation and imaging which can be a quite a distorted mess at higher volume. Soundstage is actually the most narrow and weak out of the bunch, think wide as your ears then go one inch narrower. At first listen you'll think "omg its soo clear" and then a minute later it becomes sand paper to your ears. So unless you are experiencing massive hearing loss, this sibilance makes this set pretty much unlistenable for any longer than 10 min sessions.Soundcore liberty pro 2 has a V shaped sound signature, as loud as the soundpeats h1 meaning most people will be fine listening from 60% to 80% with an extra few clicks to go beast mode at the gym.Bass: A crap ton more bass, most quantity of the 3, but its slightly out of control and is present even when the music does not call for it. Is also can get sloppy but goes very deep however theres a peak around the 40 to 55hz range that makes it boomier over accurate. But its not a total fart canon, id still prefer this toned down eq wise over the sabbat Mids: this sets weakness for sure. They are non offensive but are recessed, can make it sound like a wet towel is covering the mids in a speaker+tweet+subwoofer home setup. Soundcore EQ app can help with this but its still far from natural sounding and is lacking resolve/resolution, sabbat and soundpeats are much better in this region.Treble with some detail and sparkle in the treble. The treble is mostly not sibilant. The overall sound signature not offensive at all but definitely lacking midrange resolve and clarity even with the soundcore EQ app.. This has the widest soundstage actually by a tad. Think two inch out from your ears.Soundpeats H1 our winner has what i can describe as a harmon house curve.Bass: the best bass ive heard in most 350 dollar and under setups, including wired headphones with a pre amp dac and dedicated amplifier. Present when need to be. Accurate, rich, deep, detailed and smooth, non offensive, strong and controlled when the source calls for it and has no peaks, its like a high end audiophile quality subwoofer. Articulates well with fast metal double bass pedals or gets fat and girthy with rap/trap/edm or has really amazing ambience in jazz, classical and pop.Midrange : lush, smooth and buttery, can get a 2khz to 4khz peak if you 100% max out the volume but 60% to 90% the midtange is perfect. Unlike the other two sets, the midbass makes it very lively, drums feel lifelike and impactful, does not feel like a headphone at all.Treble/soundstage/imaging: The most natural blend of treble and midrange out there. No sibilance, extremely detailed when the recording calls for it and smooth and airy when it doesnt vs constantly in your face treble with the sabbat. The soundstage is really something special here. The other two sets pretty much go left and right and center. This soundstage actually orbits around your head. Think 1 inch out from your ears to a few inches out in front if your face. Which translate to a lifelike studio performance. As for Imaging every minute detail and instrument in the background can be pinpointed and heard even with a lot of instruments and singers.Conclusion. Sabbat sucks unless you severely lost hearing down to 5khz. Soundpeats H1 beats out almost everything i listed out the box with no EQ or tuning that i listed at the beginning of the review. YES its that effing ridiculous beating out wired headphones with dac amps in terms of raw sound quality. All the headphones/tws brands and models i listed had some kind of flaw that needed an EQ to fix to get it sounding awesome. These soundpeats h1 still beats out most of those fully optimized and EQ'd sets out the box. Keep in mind i always try to optimize my setups with proper seals, amplification, source and EQ if needed and a lot of experimentation to give every equipment the benefit of the doubt.If you never head of anything better than mainstream buds, you might be surprised at the e16s which these are definitely better. But if you do an a/b comparison with the soundpeats h1 or liberty pro 2(eq'd), these e16 gets absolutely wrecked.

After watching reviews on YouTube about the sabbat e16. I will say all are true. The sound quality is top notch. Has good bass's mids and highs. Will take some getting used to if you are a bass head but once settled in you can hear the clarity. They get plenty loud. Some noise leakage if u pump all the way up people will hear the music but that how loud these go. Call quality is solid. Def would buy again.

I was very excited when I saw that Sabbat had a new model out. Let me start out by saying I have owned I believe every model prior to the E16's. My last pair was the E12 ultra and after using for 3-4 months they started popping. And when I say popping it was so loud it literally felt painful and I felt as if it could blow my ear drum out. But before this started happening they were some of my favorite ear buds that I have owned. So when I saw this model I was excited to try them out.Well let me say yes these sound good on most genres. I have now owned these for a couple of days and they are starting to pop like my E12 Ultras did. No where near as bad but I have only owned for a few days, so most likely these are going to start doing the same popping that is painful when happens. Now if you don't use these at high volumes like I do you may not have the same issue. But I work outside around a lot of loud equipment and need to use high volume to drown out the equipment.Will these work for you maybe? Will they work for me no because I have to use with high volume and I can't deal with the popping sound. Guess I am just going to bite the bullet and buy a pair of Sennheiser or the new Bowers and Wilkins. Hope this review saves someone else the headache of sending these back if you are a high volume user like myself.

Very good sound. I like the fact you push buttons on each bud to change songs or go back. Taking a call push one button. I’ve had absolutely no problems with these buds. Once connected you just put them in and they’re connected easy peasy. I use them to work out 2 1/2 hours a day. Theywere charged on Saturday today is Wednesday and they’re still going strong. I will charge for an hour tomorrow and expect to get same 4 days. Love em.I recently tried a set of Sennheiser Bluetooth earbuds because in the past I had a set oh Sennheiser headphones and they were incredible. So I thought heck the earbuds must have a great sound. (I’ve been looking for a set that would blow my mind. Well I listened to my to the Sennheiser during my workout which is where I use my earbuds for 3 hours a day. First thought was they’re nice, crisp sound, comfortable and easy to pair. The next day I used my Sabbat E16 the next day. In my opinion the Sabbat E16 sound just as good as the Sennheiser. So bottom line is, after trying the 4 pairs of earbuds I own (Sabbat my favorite) I’ve come to the conclusion spending hundreds of dollars on a set of earbuds does not translate to “blowing my mind.”I should add that I gave each a listen with head banger, classical and easy listening. I’m done searching.
