When I first tried these earbuds, I was truly impressed at the quality and range of the sound that was being emitted from such a small package. But after 30 minutes of trying to enjoy what I was hearing, I discovered that the level of comfort was diminishing quite rapidly.
iFrogz are, and have been my favorite wireless bluetooth earbuds for a couple of years now, because of the sound quality delivered and ease of use.
The Impulse Duo is no less for quality, and the new concept of a dual driver is definitely groundbreaking and an increase in audio range and quality. But the specific design of the Duo's, with the earbuds being offset at an angle makes it difficult to adjust for a comfortable fit while enjoying the full range that they are capable of.
The plastic casing of each earbud is bulky and awkward, and tends to irritate the ear canal and periphery of the ear after 30 minutes of use.
Suggestion: extend the neck of the earbuds and develop a more "ear-friendly" design that will further extend the casing from the ear of the listener.Though they might protrude from the ear a bit more, they would be much more comfortable to wear, and therefore much more appealing to customers.
I LOVE the sound quality of these earbuds! But I can only stand to wear them for no more than a half an hour before they begin to lose their ability to ride comfortably within the ear canal.
Overcome this issue, and iFrogz could, and will beat out the competition in quality, comfort, and ease of use.
UPDATE 7/15/2019:
After surrendering the benefit of the doubt and giving this model of the iFrogz wireless headset more than three weeks before formulating a final opinion, I am hereby doing so without reservation:
This model of wireless earbuds is definitely a game changer with its dual driver technology. HOWEVER; They are EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING and PAINFUL to wear for any amount of time.
I tried everything from changing the sizes of the rubber boots, to rotating the earbuds within my earcup/canal, with the same results: THEY HURT!
Although the sound is ALMOST worth soldiering the pain, at the end of the day I was left with extremely irritated ears, and with serious doubt about this product.
The oddly rectangular shaped housing for the "dual driver" is far too large, and too close to the earbud stem to achieve ANY level of comfort by the wearer. This makes for a frustrating period of time of adjusting the earbuds for comfort, snug fit, and finding that "sweet spot" which delivers the best of the best sound. But that NEVER came to fruition due to the poor design of these earbuds. I found myself faced with a choice between great sound and an uncomfortable fit- or crappy sound with a momentarily comfortable fit at best.
iFrogz - your previous model of earbuds (iFrogz Impulse) sound AWESOME, and I use them every day, although they are over 3 years old! I had very high hopes for your "Impulse Duo's", but was sadly disappointed with its sacrifice of comfort for a PHENOMENAL sound! This is a trade-off which is definitely NOT sustainable for your company, and with the rapid change in technologies and copycat manufacturing on the rise, you may have just missed the bus to the land of TRUE GREATNESS with regards to this design.
These earbuds ALMOST knocked it out of the park!

Great for that price. Good sound and battery life. Bluetooth connectivity is great. Small and lightweight. Actually so lightweight I once put it in the washing machine. After drying out 2 days it worked again. Innovative way to store the cord.Only con: the surface of the earplugs and the body look is some kind of felt and looks a bit ugly after a while. Not even the washing machine fixed that.
