The charging case may look and feel cheap, but feels solid with no flex or creaks.
It's immediately apparent why it's priced the way it is when I picked it up. The charging case is made of cheap-feeling scratchy plastic with little heft. Nevertheless, it appears to be solidly built as it neither flexed nor creaked when I pinched it hard with my fingers.
Other than one single LED indicator light on the front of the case and a USB-C charging port, the charging case is devoid of any other flourishes. I'm reminded of a plastic pebble.
Despite the simplicity, I appreciate the matte finish, which doesn't attract fingerprints or smudges as much as glossy surfaces. As for accessories, Earfun has included a USB-C cable in the box as well as two additional pairs of silicone tips.
The earbuds themselves are also well-built despite using the same scratchy-feeling plastics. While they don't feel premium to the touch, the construction is solid and feels like it can take a beating.
