Earin combats Apple's AirPods with new M-2 truly wireless earbuds
Not long after the release of the M-1 --?and Apple's own AirPods -- Earin has unveiled its new M-2 completely wireless Bluetooth earbuds, adding a touch interface to the tip of the earpiece.

As with Apple AirPods, the M-2 earbuds can be used for listening to music and taking phone calls. The touch control on the earbud itself has rudimentary media controls, allowing users to play, pause, and skip tracks.
A magnetic docking capsule stores and charges the earbuds. One charge from the capsule gives three hours of battery life per charge, and provides three charges before depletion. Charge time for the capsule is approximately 75 minutes.
As with the M-1, the M-2 comes with three pairs of various sized ear tips and ear stabilizers to ensure a tight fit
The wireless technology connecting the earbuds is proprietary to Earin, and utilizes "dual antenna and Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) powered by NXP Semiconductors," according to the company.

The speakers in the M-2 have a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, with a speaker sensitivity of 105 dB SPL. Speaker impedance is 25 Ohm.
The Earin M-2 True Wireless Earbuds will release late in the first quarter. Pricing has not yet been announced, but the Earin M-1 Earbuds retail for $199.99.
AppleInsider briefly examined the Earin M-1, and found that the predecessor does a decent job of drowning out most ambient noise at mid-range, with sound customizable through the Earin iOS app. The app also serves as a battery life monitor.

Apple is opening a market space for competitors with people like me.
I recommend everybody with interest order and try the AirPods. If they don't retain well send them back for free to apple with a note in the box as I did.
I've been using them every day for a 10 days, constantly switching back and forth between iPhone 7, iPad Pro, and an iMac...something I never even bothered to do with other BT headsets since it was so laborious. No issues of the kind you describe at all.
Sounds to me like radio frequency interference. People forget that there are actually an increasing number of radio waves competing. Ever walk near your microwave with a cordless phone, and find the connection dropped?
So, I would inspect your spaces and try to eliminate any unneeded wireless broadcasters. Turn off Bluetooth from devices not using it, for example.
It truly is amazing that our wireless devices can navigate the crowded wireless spectrum as well as they do!
I've only had one instance of "weirdness" with my AirPods in the 10 or so days I've had mine - I was in a small shop where there shouldn't be much interference at all and my left 'Pod cut out entirely for a couple of seconds, came back and then out again, then the right one cut one, then both came back and stayed back. No one else I could see with bluetooth headsets in the shop and 'Pods were both nearly fully charged (90% give or take). Hasn't happened since.
I've noticed though that my right 'Pod drains more quickly than my left. In fact just this morning I was on a 90 minute conference call (by the way, they're FANTASTIC for conference calls) and both had started at 100%. At the end of the call the left was at 38% and the right at 20%. I've also noticed my case battery draining (the "known issue" of the 'Pods being in the case and both 'Pods and case being at full charge) over night by 15-20% with no use. So I wonder if maybe the right 'Pod has some issue and is not only draining faster while in use but also draining while not in use and thus sucking charge from the case...will be taking them into my local Apple store to check on them, but honestly even with that issue these things are flippin' fantastic.
1) The battery life isn't as good - probably because they're smaller with no "stems" so smaller battery
2) Setup isn't nearly as slick as the AirPods which, while a small thing, is truly great
3) Charge time in the case is much longer than the AirPods - about 2x longer to charge
4) Case has a smaller battery as well
I'll say though that the M-1s don't look great, but the picture above of the M-2s actually look very decent. Also wishing the AirPods came in black now...
Personally I have had problems with Bluetooth stability and connectivity with my iPhone 7plus since day one. I gave it a chance to resolve with updates, it hasn't so I have an appointment this weekend to see what is going on. I have multiple 6s plus' in my house as well as iPad Air 2 that I use with the same devices as my 7plus. They work without issue and my 7plus has problems with these same devices daily.
Stuttering and choppiness when a song starts or switches to the next track, the sound will just stop for no apparent reason even though the music app clearly shows the song still playing. Random disconnects from a device. Music just stops playing on the device and continues audibly playing on my iPhone.
Well, no wired connection to any external amp, where the impedance has any meaning. If that info is from manufacturers side - that's the credibility
