FULL REVIEW
Design: comes in different colors (e.g. Black, White, Pink, Blue, Khaki)
The S530 Bluetooth Earbud is made from plastic and it’s very light.
It is shaped with an ear hook, and the comfortability actually depends on the size of your ear. For example the S530 Bluetooth Earbud fits perfectly on my large ear with the hook perfectly snugged inside, but it doesn’t fit well on my wife’s ear.
The S530 Bluetooth Earbud is very tiny thus making it very easy to get lost. So I made a DIY storage for it using an old ointment container. Now I can just place it inside the container and put inside my pocket or wherever I want to store it into.

Charging and Music Playback time:
The S530 Bluetooth Earbud doesn’t come with a charging brick so you have to use your own charger.
By the way, I also tried charging it for more than 1 hour but the playback time is still the same of around 2 hours.
Bluetooth pairing, connectivity and distance:
As with my Awei A980BL Bluetooth Headset, Connecting S530 Bluetooth Earbud to any of my devices is pretty straight forward, just enter pairing mode by turning on S530 Bluetooth Earbud and keep on pressing the ON button until the LEDs flashes red and blue, search for S530 on your device and start pairing. Once paired you can now start listening to music.
Sound Quality:
The sound quality of the S530 Bluetooth Earbud is pretty normal, comparable to cheap wired earbuds out there. I can’t say much about it’s sound quality as I just use it to listen to music while sleeping, and for me, it does its job.
The microphone audio quality of the S530 Bluetooth is usable but I won’t recommend it as your primary device for making calls. The voice is understandable but a little bit unstable, and as per the person I was talking to, I sounded as if I’m in a bathroom but I was not.

VERDICT
WILL I RECOMMEND THIS?: Yes and No
If you want to just try it out or use as your sleeping companion like me, then Yes. but if you’re going to use this as your main headset for taking calls and listening to music for long periods of time then it’s definitely No.
I never thought I would be buying this tiny S530 Bluetooth Earbud, I personally think it looks silly on my ear, I feel like I’m James Bond or some kind of a special agent. But now, I can’t sleep without it, I like listening to music to help me sleep at night but I don’t want to annoy my wife when I use my phone or a speaker. not to mention the amount of wired earphones that I’ve destroyed when using them while sleeping.
For its price, There’s nothing much to lose.
I got this for just less than 150 pesos(3$) from Lazada
