How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a familiar, no-fuss set of everyday buds with a charging case that tells you exactly how much power is left, choose AILKIN Motorola Moto G; if you need the most microphone hardware and the longest total battery for calls and travel, choose EXZHIG Earbuds.
• AILKIN Motorola Moto G — biggest strength: an enormous compatibility list that explicitly names Motorola Moto G, Edge and Razr models alongside Samsung Galaxy and iPhone 17/16/15/14 families, plus a 32-hour total battery figure and IPX7 waterproofing.
• AILKIN Motorola Moto G — biggest trade-off: it relies on Environmental Noise Cancellation rather than a multi-mic array, and its Bluetooth is 5.3 rather than the newer 5.4.
• EXZHIG Earbuds — biggest strength: six microphones with ENC, beam-forming and wind-noise control, backed by Bluetooth 5.4, a 48-hour total battery figure and a large dual LED display.
• EXZHIG Earbuds — biggest trade-off: no IPX7 durability on the buds themselves is the only spec gap worth checking, and the 6-hour per-bud figure is shorter than the AILKIN's 8-hour per-charge claim.
• Who each pick is for: the AILKIN suits a Motorola, Samsung or iPhone owner who wants a simple all-rounder; the EXZHIG suits anyone whose priority is being heard clearly on calls.
The AILKIN Motorola Moto G is, at heart, a compatibility play. The listing names an unusually long list of devices — Moto G 5G across several model years, G Power, G Stylus 5G, G Play, G15, Edge and Razr, plus Galaxy A and S series and the iPhone 17e through iPhone 14 range. If you already own one of those phones and you want something that pairs without a second thought, that breadth is the whole point of this product.
In the ear, the design is conventional and sensible: an in-ear shape with a silicone enclosure, three pairs of replacement ear tips in different sizes, and an IPX7 waterproof rating. Silicone plus a secure in-ear fit plus IPX7 is the combination that survives jogging, commuting and sweaty gym sessions. Bluetooth 5.3 handles pairing and keeps latency low enough for streaming, gaming and video calls, and there's a touch-control layer for music, volume, calls and the voice assistant. Inside are 13 mm dynamic drivers, and the noise control is Environmental Noise Cancellation — which is the piece that matters most for anyone talking on the phone.
Battery is where this one makes its case. AILKIN quotes up to 8 hours per charge and 32 hours total from the case, with a 2-hour charge time, and the charging case shows exact battery levels rather than vague dots. If you hate guessing whether your case is about to die, that's a genuinely useful detail. The package includes the buds, three pairs of ear tips, the LED charging case, a USB-C cable and a manual, with a 365-day warranty.
Who should buy it: someone with a Motorola, Samsung or iPhone who wants a reliable daily pair for music, podcasts, gaming and hands-free calls, and who values a long single-charge session over everything else. Who should skip it: anyone who spends hours a day on calls in windy or noisy places, where a dedicated multi-mic setup will do more for you than a single ENC label.
The EXZHIG Earbuds are built around one idea: being heard. There are six built-in microphones here, paired with ENC noise cancellation, beam-forming technology and wind-noise control. That's a lot of microphone hardware for a set of in-ear buds, and the combination of beam-forming plus wind control is specifically aimed at the two things that ruin outdoor calls — background chatter and gusts. If your day involves work calls, walks with the phone in your pocket, or talking in busy environments, this is the feature set you're paying attention to.
The rest of the spec sheet is current. Bluetooth 5.4 gives you faster pairing, lower power consumption and a stated range of up to 15 m (49 ft), with one-step pairing and auto-connection when you open the case. The buds themselves are light at 3.7 g each, use a stick-style in-ear shape, and ship with three sizes of ear tips. The enclosure is metal and plastic, the colour is light blue, and the case measures roughly 2.36 x 0.79 x 1.77 inches at 1.15 ounces — small enough to disappear into a pocket.
Battery and display are the other headline acts. EXZHIG quotes 6 hours per bud and 42 more from the case, for up to 48 hours total, with USB-C fast charging that gives 1–2 hours of use from a 10-minute top-up. The case carries a large dual LED digital display, which is the sort of thing that sounds cosmetic until you're the person who always forgets to charge. Audio comes from 13 mm dynamic drivers with a 20 Hz–20 kHz range, tuned for clear highs and controlled bass according to the listing. The warranty is stated at five years.
Who should buy it: call-heavy users, commuters, travellers and anyone who wants the newest Bluetooth version and the biggest total battery number. Who should skip it: someone who wants the longest single-session charge per bud, or who simply prefers a more neutral-looking black design.
• Best for microphone quality → EXZHIG Earbuds. Six mics with ENC, beam-forming and wind-noise control is a materially different proposition from a single ENC implementation.
• Best for total battery life → EXZHIG Earbuds. Up to 48 hours total from the case versus 32 hours on the AILKIN.
• Best for longest single charge → AILKIN Motorola Moto G. Up to 8 hours per charge against the EXZHIG's 6 hours per bud.
• Best for the newest Bluetooth → EXZHIG Earbuds. Bluetooth 5.4, with a stated 49 ft range and auto-connect on opening the case.
• Best for Motorola owners specifically → AILKIN Motorola Moto G. It names Moto G, G Power, G Stylus, G Play, Edge and Razr models directly.
• Best for rough, sweaty use → AILKIN Motorola Moto G. The IPX7 rating is explicit here; the EXZHIG sheet doesn't state an equivalent figure.
• Best for battery visibility → EXZHIG Earbuds. The big dual LED display on the case is the more obvious at-a-glance indicator.
• Best for a light, stick-style fit → EXZHIG Earbuds. 3.7 g per bud in a stick design versus the AILKIN's conventional in-ear shape.
In my opinion, the EXZHIG Earbuds are the better pick for most people shopping this comparison, because the six-mic ENC setup, Bluetooth 5.4 and 48-hour total battery are exactly the things that make wireless buds annoying or delightful in daily life. I'd choose the AILKIN Motorola Moto G instead if I owned a Moto G, Edge or Razr phone and wanted the longest single charge with a confirmed IPX7 rating. Neither is a bad buy — they're just aimed at different priorities.
how to use wireless headphones mic on pc
Pair the buds over Bluetooth as you would any audio device, then open your computer's sound settings and set the headset as both the output and the input device. Windows and macOS treat Bluetooth headsets as two separate entries — one for playback, one for the microphone — so pick the input option explicitly. The AILKIN and EXZHIG buds both connect wirelessly with no jack, so the mic runs over the Bluetooth link.
how to use mic on wireless headphones
Put the buds in your ears, connect over Bluetooth, and the built-in microphone is already live — there's nothing extra to switch on. On a call, tap the touch control to answer and the mic picks up your voice. On the EXZHIG, six microphones with ENC handle that job; on the AILKIN, a single ENC system does it.
can you use bluetooth headphones as a mic
Yes, provided the headphones have a built-in microphone, which both of these do. Once paired, the phone or computer sees a headset profile and routes your voice through the buds. Expect call-grade audio rather than studio quality — ENC is there to reduce background noise, not to replace a dedicated microphone.
do all bluetooth headphones have a microphone
No. Plenty of Bluetooth headphones are playback-only, especially older or purely music-focused models. It's worth checking the spec before buying: the AILKIN Motorola Moto G and the EXZHIG Earbuds both list microphones and noise control, so both can be used for calls.
