The case itself shows an actual percentage readout for both the case and the earbuds, not just a vague blinking light.
6 hours per charge on the earbuds, with the 470mAh case good for roughly four extra full charges.
Drop the case on any Qi pad or plug in a USB-C cable — either works.
Nano-coating handles sweat and light rain, so they hold up fine for runs and gym sessions.
After the first pairing, they reconnect automatically the moment you flip the case open.
Handles calls, playback, and voice assistant from the earbud itself — no reaching for your phone.
I'll be upfront: I didn't expect much going in. Earbuds at this price point usually cut corners somewhere, and the question is always which corner. With the X08, TAGRY put its money into the stuff you actually notice day to day — battery life and that LED display on the case — and it shows.
Out of the box, pairing was genuinely as easy as advertised. Open the case, the earbuds show up on your phone, tap connect, done. No app, no fumbling with a Bluetooth menu for two minutes. The case display is the standout here: instead of a single blinking light that could mean anything, you get an actual number telling you exactly how much charge is left. It's a small thing, but it's the kind of detail that budget earbuds almost never bother with.
The retail box — straightforward, no frills.
Sound quality is decent for the price, but it's not going to win over anyone particular about their bass. It gets loud enough, the mids are clear, and calls come through fine thanks to the built-in CVC noise reduction. But the low end is noticeably light, and if you're the type who cares about hitting a real sub-bass range, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. Think "solid daily-use sound" rather than "audiophile gear."
The bigger issue, and one worth calling out honestly, is connectivity consistency. Most of the time these pair and stay paired without drama. But it's not universal — some users report the earbuds occasionally dropping the connection to the phone or losing sync between the left and right bud, especially with the phone tucked in a pocket or bag rather than in hand. It didn't happen constantly in our testing, but it happened often enough that I wouldn't call it a non-issue. If your use case is mostly walking around with your phone in a pocket, it's worth keeping in mind.
There's also no dedicated volume control gesture on the earbud itself in the way some pricier buds offer — you're mostly working with play/pause and track skip via touch, with volume handled through your phone. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing before you buy expecting AirPods-level gesture control.
It sounds minor on paper, but never having to guess how much juice is left in the case is a genuinely nice quality-of-life upgrade over most budget earbuds, which just give you a single ambiguous light.
The case is compact enough to disappear into a pocket.
If you want a cheap, comfortable pair of earbuds for the gym, commuting, or just as a spare set to keep in a bag, the X08 is an easy recommendation at this price. They punch well above their cost on battery life and case convenience. If you're chasing deep bass or need rock-solid connection stability in every scenario, you might want to spend more — but for most everyday use, these are hard to argue with for under $30.
