Lanteso True Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds Review

Today I’m taking an in-depth look at the Lanteso True Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds, a budget-friendly audio option that promises impressive battery life, solid sound quality, and comfort for active users. At under $30, these earbuds aim to deliver a well-rounded experience across music, calls, and workouts without breaking the bank.

Design and Build Quality

The Lanteso earbuds come in an all-black finish with a design that prioritizes discretion and comfort. The case, at first glance, appears compact—smaller than a coin according to the manufacturer. While it’s certainly small and pocket-friendly, the case feels somewhat plasticky and lightweight in hand. This isn’t necessarily a drawback given the price point, as it maintains portability while keeping the product accessible.

The earbuds themselves follow an in-ear design with soft silicone eartips included. The ergonomic shape aims to match the inner contour of the ear, which generally translates to a more comfortable fit for extended listening sessions. I appreciate that they’re designed to minimize pressure with specific touch controls—tapping the panels for playback control rather than squeezing them into your ear canal.

One design element worth noting is their mini concealed appearance. If you prefer earbuds that don’t protrude prominently from the ear, these deliver on that front. They’re subtle enough that they won’t draw attention at the gym or during commutes.

Comfort and Fit

During my testing period, comfort was one of the stronger aspects of these earbuds. Weighing in at a super-light weight (the specific weight isn’t provided in the specs), they felt nearly weightless once in place. The silicone eartips come in multiple sizes, which is crucial for achieving a secure seal and preventing them from falling out during movement.

I wore them for extended sessions while working and while walking, and they maintained comfort throughout. That said, if you have larger ears, you might find that once you achieve a secure fit, they feel a bit cramped in your ear—though this naturally depends on your ear anatomy.

For workouts and sports activities, they stay planted reasonably well, though I wouldn’t say they replace specialized sport earbuds with ear hooks or fin designs. For lightweight exercise like brisk walking, light jogging, or gym workouts, they perform adequately.

Sound Quality

The audio performance is surprisingly competent for the price range. Lanteso touts an 10mm large driver unit, and I found the sound signature to be well-balanced with an emphasis on bass that’s both powerful and not overwhelming. The low-end has punch without muddying the midrange—a common pitfall in budget earbuds where bass often overpowers everything else.

High frequencies come through clearly, though they don’t dazzle with sparkling detail. Mids remain present and articulate, making vocals sound solid and clear. For a variety of genres, from pop to rock to electronic, these earbuds deliver an enjoyable listening experience. If you’re an audiophile or prefer neutral sound signatures, you might find these a bit bass-boosted, but the average listener will likely appreciate the energetic sound profile.

Volume output is strong without distortion at higher levels, though I did notice that the maximum volume isn’t quite as thunderous as some premium earbuds—that said, it’s perfectly adequate for outdoor use where some ambient noise blocking is beneficial.

Noise Cancellation and Call Quality

Lanteso features intelligent noise cancellation. While not active noise cancellation (ANC) of the type found in premium earbuds that completely blocks external sounds, these earbuds do block a reasonable amount of ambient noise through passive isolation. This works well for reducing background noise in everyday environments—office settings, cafés, and light commuting situations.

Call quality deserves special mention. These earbuds employ AI algorithms and noise-canceling technology to enhance call clarity dramatically. During test calls, my voice came through clearly to recipients, and I could adjust the echo settings for a more natural conversation. The binaural high-definition calling ensures both earbuds stay active during conversations, unlike some budget earbuds that only use one earbud for calls.

Battery Life

Lanteso claims impressive battery specifications that they actually deliver. With up to 6 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, these earbuds exceed expectations for the price range. Even better, with the included charging case, you get a total of 48 hours of use—a substantial number for true wireless earbuds.

Quick charging adds to the convenience: just 10 minutes in the case provides enough power for about an hour of playback. The compact case charges via USB-C (no wireless charging support, which is understandable at this price point). Battery indicators on your connected device help you track remaining power levels.

For most users, this means charging only once or twice a week, which is excellent for anyone who’s tired of the daily hassle of juicing up their earbuds.

Controls and Features

The touch controls work reasonably well for basic functions like play/pause, track skipping, and call answering. While I prefer physical buttons for audio controls to avoid accidental touches, these touch panels minimize ear pressure and respond consistently. Music playback automatically pauses when you remove an earbud, resuming when replaced—a convenient feature for quick conversations or brief interruptions.

The low-latency mode warrants mention. When activated, it reduces audio lag significantly, which is particularly useful for watching videos or playing mobile games. Unlike some earbuds where there’s a noticeable split-second delay between on-screen action and audio, these synchronize well once low-latency mode is engaged.

Connectivity

Bluetooth 5.3 technology provides stable connections with faster transmission speeds. Pairing is straightforward via one-step pairing: just open the case near your device, and the earbuds connect. The connection remains stable within approximately 10 meters, formidable for most use cases. Whether paired with iOS or Android devices, the connection proves reliable with no unexpected drops during my testing.

The case includes an LED indicator showing charging status, and the earbuds themselves feature an onboard mic for calls and voice assistant access. Their IPX5 water resistance means they can handle sweat and light rain—valuable protection for workout enthusiasts.

Value Assessment

At approximately $30, these earbuds occupy an attractive position in the budget segment. They don’t compete with $150-300 premium earbuds, but they significantly outperform many similar-priced competitors. The combination of 48 hours total battery life, decent sound, good call quality, and comfortable design creates a package that’s difficult to fault at this price point.

They excel in scenarios where you need reliable, everyday earbuds without committing to premium prices—commutes, casual listening, workouts where you don’t need absolute security, phone calls. The sound quality punches above the price point for most users’ casual listening needs.

Where they fall short is in features like active noise cancellation, multipoint pairing (connecting to multiple devices simultaneously), and advanced codecs for higher-resolution audio. They’re not built for critical listening or professional use in noisy environments.

Final Thoughts

The Lanteso True Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds deliver surprisingly well-rounded performance for their extremely accessible price point. They’re particularly recommended for budget-conscious buyers, students, commuters, fitness enthusiasts who need basic sweat protection, or anyone wanting reliable everyday earbuds without premium price concerns.

The combination of exceptional battery life, good sound with decent bass punch, clear calls, and comfortable design makes them a strong value proposition. While they lack the bells and whistles of flagship models, they accomplish the core mission of enjoyable wireless audio exceptionally well for around $30.

If you’ve been searching for reliable wireless earbuds to handle the basics without emptying your wallet, these Lanteso earbuds deserve serious consideration. They prove that quality audio experiences aren’t exclusively the domain of premium-priced products. For casual listeners, frequent callers, or budget-minded audio enthusiasts, these earbuds offer a compelling blend of functionality, comfort, and value that’s hard to top at this price point.
