I have repeatedly used into the ground and rebought this earbud! I think its great!
This is a great earbud. I have bought 5 over the past 7 years. (first one died, okay.... lost two, thats on me and 1 I left on the charger unplugged and it messed up the battery to where it wouldnt recharge... i still say thats on me) I like how its discreet and having only one i can still hear everyone during work. It does seem to have an issue with it being left on the charger unplugged (kills battery life) but knowing that its no longer an issue. I would say its relatively fast charging in about 30 mins. Its not how i would listen to a music track as a producer but it sounds good to me for talk and songs. I would say about 6 hrs on a full charge playing on the lowest volume. My current one has gone through the washer and dryer on at least 2 full cycles with no issue. (i cant find the silicon ear piece which is why I'm thinking of getting another one.) Gonovate if you read this is there a way to get a replacement set of the silicon ear pieces?

Works very well, glad I bought it!
Works very well, glad I bought it! First thing I did after giving it a full charge was listen to music at a low volume which was only interrupted once by an hour long phone call - the bud made it a full 6hr 5min before she said "battery low", which then she annoyingly says every 30 sec. Speaking of the bud talking to you, her accent is like Lovey Howell (you know, Thurston's wife on Giligan's Island) which is kind of cool. At first my ear would hurt after wearing for a short while, but experience tells me to hang in there and your body will adjust. Now I can comfortably wear all day. It comes with small and large rubber tip, wish there was a middle size too because I think that might be what I could use. The tips may be the weak point as it doesn't take much for them to come off. Once I pulled it from my ear leaving the rubber tip still in the ear. Don't know what I'll do when I eventually loose the tip. The button's a bit stiff and takes quite a press to operate. Even with a few short comings, I love this thing and I've used high end units for a long time. They show it next to a nickle, but the picture is blown up and you just don't get how tiny this thing really is, makes me giggle. Sounds great for calls and music. The outgoing voice quality may be slightly lower, but I'm not getting any complaints, in fact some have said they couldn't tell I was using a Bluetooth at all. Oh and the magnetic charger, way cool! Can't wait to see where this technology goes, small ear buds are the way of the future.

The best worst earbud: Bought three, here's why
TL;DR GoNovate make a good thing for cheap, but in most comparable ways it is also a cheap thing. Buyer beware. Where the G11 disappoints in features, GoNovate's priority is more clearly defined as the earbud they make, and they make it damn good. The experience of wearing this earbud blows plenty of the more expensive ones that I have tried out of the water. You already know what features you want, you already know why you are here. Still mulling over a purchase decision. Uncertain as to whether you will get bitten again by an earbud that is not your destiny. The G11 is a physically good earbud and pretty much nothing else. A dealbreaker for many, but if that sounds good to you, be you an effectively one-eared in-ear patron such as I, or a regular seeker of the mono audio, my humble opinion is that you will probably enjoy this product. This is a biased review, GoNovate have me hooked. But in a market rife with competitive BT earbuds GoNovate make a number of affordable tradeoffs for a spartan product that is perfect for the right buyer. That said, there are indeed caveats consequent. If you are reading this then you probably already know why you want a wireless mono earbud, so I wont dwell on potential use, merely my own as the backbone of my review. You people lucky enough to boast a common fit for both ears have little to worry about, but if you are like me and have oddly shaped ear canals, (normal right but obscenely small left in my case) GoNovate may yet become your salvation: a subversion of a particular consumer trap here on Amazon, sifting wearily through dozens of regular in-ear products looking for that perfect fit, ordering tips and trying them on to dissapointment. I simply gave up looking for a left earbud. Now if your right earhole is the small one, I say you no guarantee, go look for a left earbud. That said the G11 will sit in the left ear fairly well in a pinch, but is made for the right ear and is not as comfortable to use this way. In any case in terms of fit this is still the most versatile earbud I have found ever. The G11 is tiny, resting unobtrusively in the average outer ear, while the ear canal stem is short and rounded off like an eartip. You can forego the variously sized eartips included to essentially unlock from this stem design an extra small fitting tip difficult to find anywhere else. I dislike things digging in my ear, so I will wear the G11 like this for hours with no discomfort. Of course you then only have the plastic of the earbud in your ear. The fit becomes looser, shallower in the ear canal, liable to fall with moisture or sudden motion, and loses an in-ear seal, so no passive noise reduction. But when you want the snug fit, you can just get it from the eartips. The G11 offering such different fitting options for seemingly every demand, and furthermore as someone whose use case (lounging to various cardio) appreciates that ability, makes me adore GoNovate's design. The G11 is just so ergonomic, and so noninvasive if desired. But for those of you whose concern about sizing I have not broadly ruled out, your mileage here may vary significantly. The colors, too, black or sepia, embody discreet. The latter I prefer because it looks like a hearing aid if someone is to notice it on me, none the wiser that there is an audio source unless I say something to that effect. The reason I bought my first model or other of the G11 in 2017 was to sneak by entertainment in Chemistry. Mono audio already has that worldly alertness going for it, but this is at another level. A shame GoNovate does not do more skintones. As for the rest of this earbud, all I can say is that you get what you pay for. The G11 is focused, dead simple, a blessing and a curse at this price point, since you do not have to care about the product, yet if you are like me then you do. The sound can certainly be beat, but here you are already sacrificing one ear's attention, so, I mean, come on with that. A little tinny but not bad for music, which sounds better to me than what some premium earbuds will be tuned for straight out of the box, so I will say average sound. The EQ if I had to guess could be put in a "Smooth" preset somewhere, jack of all trades master of none. But I am no audiophile, my EQ analysis could be wildly incorrect. You will be happy with the sound if you are not one to dwell on this sort of thing and just want something that does not sound like wet crap. In the rest of the current landscape of wireless earbuds specs, this is arguably a weak buy. People tell me the microphone is bad, I avoid using it for calls. Even cheap BT earbuds now will come in their little convenient, manageable, magnetic homes of charging cases. Despite being only one bud to keep track of and super pocketable, these qualities about the G11 will yet see it always trying to slip away from you. Without having something akin to a case, the bud is just way too easy to lose, and I have been burned by this. Its magnetized charger is no substitute, since you cannot simply let it live on the charger without also unplugging the charger to prevent overcharging, annoyingly you must find somewhere to put the thing. Nowadays I will take advantage of the magnet by slapping it onto something magnetic when not in use. Avoids unplugging the charger so often. But off a charge the battery is not great. Between this and no fast charging, and the fact that you can overcharge, overcharging a few times is inevitable. Correlation and suspected causation, I noticed considerable decreases in battery performance and consistency early into the life of the most recent G11 I owned. Time will net 4 hours but after that you have a crapshoot. (But again, my analysis here is a crapshoot in that I did not acutely measure the battery performance of any of my G11s ever) Probably also a crapshoot on product lifespan, my first G11 weathered several years though. BT connectivity is good, no LOS break killing the connection type garbage, but the G11 is generally pretty dumb. For instance, the HUD battery readout on smartphones is inaccurate. (I use Android) It will jump down, or be at 20% directly before getting audio notified all of 10 seconds in advance that the earbud is going to die in the middle of whatever you are doing. So you generally have to keep track of that stuff in your head. This can make for exasperation when you forget, expecting to use your G11 for a while but with no certainty of when it will die on you. In a culmination of these relative shortcomings, how I lost my last G11: standing up from a balcony chair after a run and forgetting it was in my lap. Stupid? Sure. But human error is given. Maybe with a proper smart charging case it would have been a more natural motion for me to put the G11 in my pocket where it could charge safely, or made the package heavy enough that I would have felt its weight in my lap and avoided the mishap that way. Alas, this is a budget earbud and I can rest easy in the specter of such misfortune by cementing my brand loyalty by buying another one and writing a nice review.

It's a fantastic product that works; I can't do more than it's outstanding, and I would repurchase it.

The product arrived on time and was well packaged... The small. Case they arrived in is very good quality considering the amount I paid. Pros 1.very small and comfortable 2.volume is very loud considering their size. 3.very easy to connect to my phone. 4.charging is very easy using the magnetic.. connector 5.battery life is very good for the size of the product Cons. 1. The volume is only adjustable on the phone and if set to hi you can hear a constant although very low background noise. 2.it can be worn in the left ear but it does feel slightly off as it's shaped for the right ear. 3.cannot get the button on headset to work with Google voice by holding it in as with my other headsets. 4.the female voice sounds like it's trying to be erotic with the way she speaks when you turn it on or off... It's probably the most funny and annoying thing about this.
