Who said the earphones must be discreet? THE Motorola Moto Buds Loopembellished with Swarovski crystals, they challenge minimalism with a design that is halfway between a jewel and a hi-tech accessory. We put them to the test.
The design
Let’s start from unboxing. The chest pack – like the “French oak” color of the test version – evokes the world of jewelry. When you open the custody, you are in front of those who seem more refined earrings than the classic wireless earphones. The design is innovative: two semicircles hook to the auricular pavilion. In the test version, the bow is dotted with Swaroski crystals (complete with a certificate of originality). Despite the weight of only 7 grams each, buds loop bikes are immediately perceived as a solid product. The crystals are well anchored and also resist in intense conditions of use. They are water -repellent, but not waterproof, so they do not fear sweat or light rain but cannot be used in the pool.
Comfort
Wearability requires a little practice. However, the first impression changes quickly: the earphones embrace the cartilage of the ear pavilion and remain firm, adapting perfectly.
