I ordered these on sale after my favorite earbuds’ case stopped reliably charging and found they had been discontinued. I have a hard time finding earbuds that stay in and don’t hurt my ears. I have a set of Bose over ear anc headphones, but I like having earbuds because I can stick them in my purse or pocket and always have them handy. I was really skeptical of these because I figured they were more branding and hype than performance- but I was pleasantly surprised. These have a lot more clarity of sound than I had expected in the high and mid ranges. I was afraid they would be very bass heavy at the expense of higher ranges, and was pleased that this wasn’t the case.
Pros- 1. comfortable fit. I can wear these all day without my ears hurting. 2. Good sound quality. They are not Bose quality sound, but they also aren’t Bose prices. 3. Smooth Apple connectivity - this is the most noticeable difference compared to my other favorite earbuds. These connect easily and smoothly and work with Siri in ways my other earbuds wouldn’t. 4. Noise cancellation- great noise cancellation without completely drowning everything out. I sometimes use these in louder environments because the active noise cancellation works great to dampen loud environmental noises. I highly recommend these if you are someone who, like me, gets sensory overload when there is too much noise. These don’t have a noticeable humming/buzzing noise like I notice with Bose’ anc.
Cons- 1. overly touchy controls on the earbuds. I have accidentally hung up on people several times when trying to adjust an earbud. 2. Definitely worth every penny of the sale price - I’m not sure I would pay the full ticket price for these but if you can catch them on sale, grab them. There are earbuds of comparable sound quality for substantially less cost, but these are definitely higher end sound. I would not consider them audiophile quality if that is what you are looking for, but they deliver a good, solid, quality sound. 3. Charging case- the charging case closes firmly, opens easily, and the slim rounded design means they fit in your pocket without being bulky.
Overall, I love these and I have purchased so many earbuds that I end up never using because they either hurt my ears, fall out too easily, or have terrible sound quality. I can listen to music, videos, movies, and audiobooks and the sound quality works and transitions well for all of these different media types.
