Good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These feel really comfortable and have good sound quality. The only complaint I have is the customizability of the controls is lacking and sometimes the connection shorts out when I'm watching videos on my laptop. I got them on sale so the price was reasonable, but I don't if buying them full price would be worth it.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They worked pretty well but they broke after a couple months of use. One earphone just stopped working completely, and the charging box had issues keeping juice. I wouldn’t recommend or purchase this product again

Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work on a loud boat and panicked the first time i turned on the noise canceling feature. The sound is good; It comes with an equalizer! The app is good enough, with only a few minor functions I’d like to see added. The headphones have addressable multitouch functions, pretty handy, but no volume control that I’ve noticed.

Was very hesitant at first but 100% worth it !
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was watching a lot of reviews before making this purchase and it came down to the Xm1000 and the link buds. And I leaned more towards these because most comparisons stated it isn’t to much of a difference, just the fact that the XM1000 sounded but I ultimately went with the linkbuds because of the price and the sleek design and these may be the best buds I’ve bought in a while . Battery life is great , hasn’t fell off my ear yet and no real issues so far . I would definitely suggest to buy this !

Two features away from perfection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these after my xm4s died. They are great replacements. Actually like them better for running so light weight. Two main complaints noise cancelling is good but not xm4 good may be due to silicone vs foam tips. Lack of wireless charging can be annoying.
