A:AnswerI use them for work. I listen to a lot of audio books. I can get through about 6-hours non-stop. However, depending on the type of device that you use (iDevice or Android), usage may vary. As I use an Android device as my daily driver, I can adjust the sound past the headphones volume limit. If I decide to listen to music or play games on my phone, and want to get the extra push for whatever reason, usage of course will be shorter when that happens.
A:AnswerThey sure are. They don't have, or require, an app (which there are consumers that will see this as a negative issue). On that note, earbuds like these can get drowned out by noise in your enviroment. If you have an Android device, there is a remedy. But for iDevice users, they may not be content with the sound they provide, but that is all up to your personal preference.
