I honestly didn鈥檛 expect much from earbuds but the Cath Kidston VQ Story Tree ‘Skylark’ TWS Wireless Earbuds have exceeded my expectation鈥檚 and at now half price.
First off, let鈥檚 talk about the design. I got so many compliments at the gym when I wore them. The hand-applied Skylark finish is stunning, delicate, floral, and just beautifully Cath Kidston. They鈥檙e so unique and stylish that I actually want people to see them in my ears (which, let鈥檚 be real, isn鈥檛 always the case with tech).

Pairing them was a breeze. Literally seconds and I鈥檓 rubbish when it comes to techy stuff like that. I鈥檝e used them with both my iPhone and iPad, and they鈥檝e never missed a beat (thanks Bluetooth 5.3!). I can walk around my flat without carrying my phone and the connection holds perfectly with no dropouts, no fuzz.
The battery life is really good and the charging case is compact. It charges them automatically when I pop them in, and gives me days of extra listening without plugging anything in.
They鈥檙e also really comfortable. I鈥檝e always struggled with earbuds falling out or feeling sore after an hour but not these. The three different ear tips let me find the perfect fit, and they sit snugly without any pressure. I even went for a jog and they stayed put the entire time.
The noise cancelling isn鈥檛 active noise cancellation like some high-end models, but it鈥檚 really impressive for passive ENC. They block out most background noise, so I can enjoy my music or calls without distraction even on public transport.
These earbuds are beautiful, powerful, easy to use, and incredibly comfortable. For 拢29.99, they feel like a luxury treat that I didn鈥檛 have to splurge for. I鈥檓 genuinely in love with them.
Even better, the Skylark design is just one of several beautiful options in the collection. There鈥檚 also the charming Bee design, the sweet and nostalgic Strawberry Garden, and more each one with that signature Cath Kidston touch. It honestly made it hard to choose, and I wouldn鈥檛 be surprised if I end up collecting another pair just for the aesthetic.
