Rinsmola G21 PRO

The Rinsmola G21Pro is a budget champ where it counts, with best-in-class call quality and fun, bassy sound. Battery life is great and the IPX7 rating means it can handle a sweaty workout. For around $30, it's an easy yes, but don't overpay for the cheap-feeling build.

Sound is the highlight here. The 14.2mm graphene driver pushes out a fun, bass-forward profile that our database puts in the 82nd percentile, which is impressive for this price. Call quality is a genuine standout too, with the 4-mic ENC setup landing in the 92nd percentile for mic performance. ANC is decent, blocking out the low hum of a commute, but don't expect silence. The weak spots are build and comfort, sitting in the 35th and 30th percentiles respectively. The lightweight plastic feels a bit cheap, and the fit won't work for everyone during a workout, despite the IPX7 rating.

Stacked against the Sony WF-C700N, the Rinsmola actually holds its own on raw bass fun and mic quality, but the Sony runs circles around it in comfort, build, and more refined noise cancelling. The Soundcore P31i is a closer rival, offering a similar feature set with a more polished app experience, though the G21Pro's mic is better. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, it's not even a contest on sound detail or premium feel, but the Rinsmola costs a tenth of the price. You're trading polish for pure value.

The value story here is a little wild. We've seen this exact model listed everywhere from $30 to an absurd $1,487 across different storefronts. Let's be clear: this is a $30 pair of earbuds, and at that price, it's a steal. You're getting features like ANC and a great mic that usually cost triple. If you see it listed for anything over $50, just walk away and find the cheaper listing. The sweet spot is that low-end price where the compromises in build quality feel totally fair.

The Rinsmola G21Pro is one of those budget earbuds that tries to pack every feature into a tiny package. You get Bluetooth 5.4, active noise cancelling, an IPX7 waterproof rating, and a claimed 40 hours of total battery life. On paper, it reads like a flagship killer for a fraction of the price. In reality, it's a solid budget pick that punches above its weight in some areas but cuts corners in others.

Skip these if you're a stickler for premium build quality or need a rock-solid fit for CrossFit and sprints. The plastic feels budget and the shape doesn't lock in for everyone. If you want a more polished app with custom EQ and better ANC, spend a bit more on the Soundcore P31i.

If you need a beater pair of earbuds for calls, commutes, and the gym that you won't cry over losing, the G21Pro is a fantastic choice at its low price. The call quality alone makes it worth it for anyone who takes a lot of calls on the go. Just don't expect a premium unboxing experience or a perfect, secure fit for every ear shape.
