Comments
The experience of receiving free earbuds varied greatly, with one user reporting difficulties in the registration process due to an incorrect IMEI number provided by the application. This issue was not immediately resolved, delaying receiving the earbuds. Information on shipping was also insufficient, requiring repeated inquiries. The lack of a 3.5mm jack is also noted as a missing feature. One user found a Xiaomi Poco F3 8/256 significantly faster.
