Optoma NuForce BE Free6

Great audio and battery, but some issues

The successor to the BE Free5, the BE Free6 earbuds offer quality audio and generous battery life.

However, they do lack in a few areas that may prove to be a dealbreaker for some.

Thanks to iPX5 water-resistance, the BE Free6 earbuds manage to handle both sweat and rain, making them ideal for your audio needs on an outdoors trek or in the gym. Thanks to Bluetooth 5, the buds can be used individually in mono mode or together. They sit tight in the ear, so they’re unlikely to work loose and fall out, although the cramped fit can be a little uncomfortable after prolonged wear. While they won’t necessarily win any awards for design, they are small enough to sit in the ear without being overly noticeable.
