Very comfortable earphones with great sound for the price. What I also like is that the cable is made of fabric and the battery is very good (10 hours of listening time). Unfortunately, the sound can be a bit screeching at high volume in treble. Also a bit annoying is that you don't know how much listening time you have left, so I cycled to school and my earphones were empty without replacement. In summary: light, comfortable earphones with a high price/quality ratio that can be worn everywhere (sports, cycling, relaxing) with a good battery life. By the way, very good delivery from Coolblue and excellent customer service!

Now that the wireless earphones market is gradually booming, it is not so easy to make the right choice when searching through the range. The saying of the forest and the trees popped up several times when reading reviews, watching YouTube videos and studying photos on the internet for hours on end.
First of all, the choice depends on the purpose for which you want to use your (wireless) earphones. Because of the ease of use, I did not want 'fully' wireless earphones (type AirPods). I mainly want to use the earphones to move around, to use while enjoying a drink on a terrace, on the plane... Also the fact that I am not looking for earphones for sports and I am not a fan headphones (I want to be able to store them easily in my jacket pocket) influenced my choice. Last but not least, I'm not a music freak, but a little decent sound is certainly an added value and even a condition to promote listening pleasure. So I wanted to pay something for it, but the high-end class wasn't really for me either.
Since the eye also wants something, I kept coming back to 'House of Marley'. The price was also a determining factor. Finally opted for this 'Uplift 2 BT black'. The reviews were positive about the design, but opinions were divided about the sound. But I'm not that demanding in that area... am I? Moreover, these earplugs receive a high score on the Coolblue website. When I picked it up, I thought it was even more beautiful than what I had seen on the internet. What a beautifully finished device. The materials chosen for these earplugs are excellent! The wood accent on the caps radiate class and the 'string' instead of the regular plastic wire gives the ears a unique look. The battery is in the back and is in your neck. However, this does not bother you and I did not experience any inconvenience. When unpacking I felt like a little boy in a candy store. Outwardly, the picture is just right with these earplugs. Please be patient and charge the battery. And then 'le moment suprême'... which initially turned into a 'meh' moment. I was not blown away by the sound. But I thought, 'With the equalizer on my phone, I can definitely adjust the sound to my personal preference!' Not so...
After a few days of trying and 'playing' with the equalizer, I have to come to the unfortunate conclusion that these earbuds look great but the sound is very substandard. To write here that the bass is weak is an understatement. For me, the sound lacks color and depth. The bass is almost non-existent. On the other hand, the high tones are extra present and difficult to suppress. This often results in a very shrill sound. Personally, I found this very unpleasant to hear. With the additional consequence that I constantly have to turn the sound up and down because with some songs it even causes a headache after listening for a bit longer. The woven cords look very nice, but they make annoying noises when chafing against clothing such as a jacket or a sweater. Finally, there is also a constant 'noise' present. This is also very annoying after a while...
Conclusion: My euphoria when unpacking quickly turned into a major disappointment. I don't expect an excellent sound with earphones under 100 euros, but the sound of this 'House of Marley' is really below par. For me, these earphones offer no listening pleasure and that is ultimately what it is all about when listening to music. In the meantime I have returned these earphones to the store... The search for 'good' earphones continues. Maybe this time I will pay less attention to design and more to sound quality. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend buying this one. Spend a little extra money if necessary, but save yourself the disappointment of this 'House of Marley Uplift 2'.
