Verdict

The SOL Republic Relays are versatile 'crossover' in-ear headphones designed for both sports and daily use, featuring a unique FreeFlex technology ring that ensures a secure, hook-free fit. Driven by the i5 Sound Engine, they deliver a signature audio profile characterized by deep, punchy bass and a frequency range of 20Hz – 20kHz. These earbuds are IPX4 sweat and water-resistant, ultra-lightweight at approximately 32g, and come with noise-isolating tips in four sizes to ensure a comfortable seal. Wireless versions offer up to 8 hours of battery life with a quick-charge feature providing 1 hour of playback from just 10 minutes of charging. Main pros include their exceptional comfort, stable fit during rigorous exercise, and a convenient 'Outdoor Sound Mode' that boosts bass for better visibility in noisy environments. However, some cons include a slightly thin mid-range, occasional treble harshness, and recurring user concerns regarding long-term cable reliability.

  • Secure and stable fit due to the 'FreeFlex' ring technology, making them ideal for high-impact workouts like running
  • Extremely lightweight and comfortable design suitable for long-term wear
  • Sweat and water resistance (IPX4 rating) provides durability during exercise
  • Powerful audio performance featuring signature deep, 'meaty' bass and clear highs

What customers dislike about SOL Republic Relays?

  • Mixed reports on long-term reliability and build quality, with some units failing after several months
  • Sound signature is heavily 'sculpted' (boosted lows/highs), which may not appeal to audiophiles seeking a balanced or natural mix
  • Battery life alerts can be intrusive, with loud voice prompts repeating frequently once the battery is low
  • Microphone and call quality are sometimes described as muffled or poor, especially in noisy environments
  • Physical controls on the wireless version's pods can be awkward to press and lack ergonomic placement
  • The FreeFlex ring can cause discomfort for some users after extended use or if it doesn't align with their ear shape
