The hook-style MoveBuds H1, which are black and gray, have clips that go up and over your ear. They fit well, but if you wear bigger-framed glasses, you might not like the chunky covering. (like me). There are a total of six pairs of silicone eartips in the box, which is a lot for any price, but especially for this price range. The MoveBuds H1 are compatible with Bluetooth 5.2 and work with the AAC, AptX, and SBC Bluetooth codecs, which is again amazing for headphones in this price range.
The on-ear settings are on the outer panels of the earpieces, which are etched to look like turbines. One problem is that the controls are easy to press by mistake because you have to hold the earpieces to put them in and move them in your ear. Once the earbuds are in, it’s easy to use the settings. One tap on either earpiece starts or stops the music, two taps change tracks (left for previous, right for next), and three taps either call up your phone’s voice helper (left) or turn on or off the Ambient mode. (right). To change the volume, hold down the buttons for a second or longer. (left for lower and right for higher). Press down on either for 10 seconds to turn off both earpieces. The controls for the phone are the same. A single tap answers an incoming call, and two taps stop it.

Where to get Tribit MoveBuds H1?
The IP rating is either IPX7 or IPX8, depending on whether you believe the box or the website more (they both say different things), but Tribit reps say IPX8 is the right one. Either grade means that the earpieces are completely waterproof and great for working out. You can rinse them off, let them get wet with sweat or rain, and even put them in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes without worrying about them getting damaged. However, the charging case is not waterproof, so make sure the earpieces are completely dry before you dock them.
The huge charging case is shaped like a clamshell and is too big to fit in most bags, but it has to be that way because the earpieces are so big. The case has a smooth, slick surface and a plastic finish that looks like an eggshell. It’s not pretty or easy to hold. On the front, an LED shows how much charge is left, and on the back is a USB-C charging port. The box comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable that is pretty long.
