Whatever you need from in ear headphones you've got it, dual connect, long battery, different sized tips, noise cancelling that's out of this world, and an ambient setting that works great.
Highly recommend

I bought dozens of pairs of earbuds for years and years... I own some of the premium expensive ones like the Sony, xm5s etc. And I'm telling you right now that the best all-around with the King feature of water resistance are these... Plus the codecs are very good and the battery life is sensational

I’ve been using these for a little while now and I love them. I’ve been afraid of in ear headphones because they usually hurt my ears pretty quickly. I can leave these in for hours, and I have, without hurting. They sound great and are very secure while running.

These have been my favorite headphones so far. I really like that you can lay sideways on a pillow and the headphones will not hurt your ear. Sound quality and connectivity is high end. I’ve even used them in the shower with no issues. The mic is great and the head phones filter out noise so that your voice is picked up first.

Hello MizraelM - Thank you for your fantastic review of the Elite 8 Active Gen 2! We’re thrilled to hear that you love the comfort, sound quality, and connectivity. While we’re glad they perform well, we recommend avoiding use in the shower because it cannot withstand salt, soap, or chemicals, which can damage the product. We hope this helps. Thanks again.

It has some of the best noise cancellation on the market, if not the best, the sound quality is very good, but not only that, they are also much more comfortable than other headphones in the same range.
