Not sure what to expect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really looking forward to expanding my earbuds experience with these, but unfortunately, less than a month in, the right earbud stopped working completely. For something in this price range, that’s pretty disappointing. I’ve used several of JLab’s $20 wireless headphones in the past and never had an issue like this, so I expected better here. I’d strongly recommend getting Geek Squad protection if you decide to go with these, just in case. Based on my experience, I can only give this product 1 star. Just a heads up to anyone considering it, might want to think twice.

Very dark output/weak treble
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent earbud, but overpriced. Battery life was great, noise cancelling was good, but quiet max volume and muddy sound/weak treble output made me return them. You can EQ the sound to boost the upper treble, but I had to nearly max out the EQ boost on upper treble frequencies just for them to sound like most of my other earbuds/speakers sound out of the box. Very dark sounding, not my cup of tea.
