Awesome earbuds for awareness
Let me start off by saying these are not for everyone. These are awesome earbuds depending on your needs. The sound is crisp, the battery life is great, bass is good. How they clip onto your ear is very cool and innovative. I can wear these headphones at work the entire 12 hours comfortably. They are very pricey but worth it to me because I need to be aware of my surroundings and the sound is amazing. I turned on the immersive feature and it’s like you have music playing in your head, I love it. Again, very pricey at $300.00 but what do you expect they are Bose. No noise canceling on these for obvious reasons. If you like to jog outside or want to use them for work these are perfect for you. If you’re looking for perfect sound/bass with noise canceling do not buy these. There are a ton of better options. These are specifically meant for people who want to be aware of outside noises/surroundings. If you have issues with real earbuds falling out or are hurting your ears, these are for you. These earbuds just clip onto your ear with ease. I love the premium feel of the case as well.

5 out of 5 stars hands down
I love these earbuds. I’ve tried a few other products before, and I prefer these out of all of them (earbuds wise). I like them especially for the design. My ears get sore after wearing other earbuds, these are extremely comfortable and after 8+ hours at work my ears don’t ache at all. Regular earbuds fall out of my ear during regular/rigorous activities, these don’t budge at all, I’m sold my guy. Obviously on the pricey side, but I say it’s completely worth it for what you get compared to other products. I kept these in my bag for about 2 weeks give or take and they just started getting low on battery the other day. They aren’t meant for complete noise cancelling but regardless, the audio is amazing and even in louder environments my music/audio is drowning out most background noise. 10 out of 10, but 5 out 5 since the cap is 5 stars ⭐️

Great sounding earbuds
I purchased these the other week and have not been disappointed. The sound quality is excellent and there is plenty of bass for me. I can still hear things around me with these earbuds in and they are extremely comfortable to wear. One of the biggest things ive never liked about most earbuds is they always feel like theyre falling out of my ears. Not these! They feel very stable in my ears and are not annoying to wear in the least. I absolutely love the unorthodox design. These are light years better than the Powerbeats Pro i purchased last year. If you don’t mind dropping $300 on a pair of earbuds, these are very well worth the money. I would give them 6 stars if i could.
