Bright white stem buds with soft tips, 7 to 8 hours a charge and up to 50 with a case whose display shows the left bud, the right bud and itself.
The Fhumsh i17 is a white stem pair whose case does more than count. Its LED window shows the left bud, the right bud and the case battery side by side, with little bars for each bud and a large number in the middle. You see at once if one side is lower, which is handy when one bud does most of the calls.
The i17 name follows the numbered i-series habit of stem earbuds, and the shape is the familiar one: a short glossy stem, a rounded head with a soft silicone tip, and a pebble-shaped case with a flip lid. What sets it apart is the detail on the display and a strong battery.
Inside the lid, the case label lists a 3.7V 400mAh battery, a 5V 1A input and the FCC ID 2AQ27-I17. The 400mAh cell is what makes the long total possible, and the 1A input means any phone charger or laptop USB-C port refills it without trouble.
Five colours are made: white, rose gold, purple, blue and black.

Most stem pairs manage 5 or 6 hours per charge. The i17 reaches 7 to 8, enough for a full office day of music or a long flight without reaching for the case. The case then refills the buds several times, bringing the total to up to 50 hours, days of typical use between wall charges.
Real hours move with volume, calls and temperature. Calls keep the microphones busy, so a meeting-heavy day drains the buds faster than music, and cold weather trims battery life a little.
| Day | How the i17 copes |
|---|---|
| Eight-hour office day | One charge, if you keep the volume moderate |
| Long-haul flight | One charge plus a case top-up |
| Week of commutes | Case lasts days between charges |
| Gym and a rainy run | IPX7 covers sweat and rain |
The case charges over Type-C with fast charging, and the display counts up while it fills. A few habits keep the battery healthy:
Comfort matters on an eight-hour charge too. The i17 is light, with an ergonomic shape that spreads pressure around the ear, and three tip sizes let you find a seal that does not ache by the afternoon. Start with the middle tips and change size if the bud creeps out when you talk.
IPX7 is a strong rating for this kind of bud. It covers sweat, rain and splashes, and even a short dip. The case has no water rating, so keep it in a pocket or bag when the weather turns.
Pairing the i17 is a one-time job. After the first connection, the buds power on and reconnect to your last device as soon as you open the case, so there is nothing to tap on the phone on a normal day.
If the i17 does not appear, close the lid, wait a few seconds and open it again. The pairing guide covers laptops, and the reset steps fix a side that stays silent.
The touch sensors handle the whole set: play and pause, skip tracks, answer calls, change the volume and wake the voice assistant. Tap the flat upper part of each bud with one fingertip. The usual layout on stem pairs:
The manual in the box lists the i17's exact taps, and the touch controls cheat card shows the common variations.
Moving the i17 to a new phone is simple: forget it in the old phone's Bluetooth list first, then open the case near the new one and pick i17 again. Skipping that step is the usual reason buds keep jumping back to an old device.
The i17 also works beyond phones: desktops, TVs and game consoles with Bluetooth audio can use it too.
The i17 suits someone who wants long single-charge sessions, a detailed battery display and IPX7, in a clean white finish or one of four other colours. It is a strong everyday pair for office days, commutes and flights.
A few points to weigh:
The Fhumsh A10 is the i17's sibling: IPX7, 13mm drivers, ENC call mics and a display that also shows each bud, with up to 50 hours in total. The XIAOWTEK S58 Pro is another white Bluetooth 5.4 pair with four ENC mics and about 30 hours with both buds in use. For an open fit with the same Bluetooth version, the Qecnato I50 offers IPX7 and an LED case.
Sound is tuned for balance: rich detail with a full low end once the tip seals, which suits everything from podcasts to film soundtracks. The low latency of Bluetooth 5.4 keeps speech in step with lips on video calls and streaming shows.
The i17 comes with the buds, the case and a user manual. Keep a USB-C cable handy for the first charge, and the pair is ready to go.
7 to 8 hours per charge and up to 50 hours in total with the case, depending on volume and calls.
A large number for the case battery, plus separate bars for the left and right buds.
The buds are rated IPX7 for sweat, rain and splashes. Keep the case dry.
