Great Sounding Earbuds, they tick all the right boxes!
Fit and comfort is great. One of the several tip choices fit my ears well. They go in easy and stay locked in my ears regardless of what I do. Passive noise isolation is fine. No better or worse than other earbuds with similar design. They don’t seal out noise like custom molded in ear monitors, but they didn’t cost near that caliber either. The neckband didn’t bother me like I thought it would and the magnetic buds add a bit of welcome security. I get close to rated battery life if the background noise isn’t super loud and I can leave the volume down. The quick charge feature is impressive.
The sound quality surprised me. I was set at a certain expectation level based on other reviews saying that sound was just okay. These exceeded my expectations by a lot. They aren’t 6 driver Shure monitors, but they’re not $30 skull candy’s either. Their response is fairly flat without any EQ, but so are most other quality earbuds. This just means there’s not a lot of internally designed color built in and I welcome that. After selecting one of the many EQ options on my iPhone, they perked right up and sounded very good. I am impressed! The buds do have screens on the sound exit holes to keep ear wax and junk out, but they’re not replaceable like my Etymotic’s so be careful cleaning them.
Bluetooth pairing was immediate and the connection has been rock solid for me. I can almost leave my phone across my property and still have a connection. They didn’t work nearly as nice on a tested android device so if you don’t run apple devices I’d look elsewhere. It would be nice to have a custom app and EQ system like my Parrot Zik’s, but the apple preconfigured EQ options got me where I wanted. I’m not using these as reference monitors and you shouldn’t be either so the audio coloring is welcome to me.
All in all a great choice in Bluetooth earbuds and I would buy these again. No buyers remorse here.
