    I like the fit, the quality of sound not so much. It’s not convenient when answering hands free. When listening to music it cut off when it picks up voices. No wireless charge. I love the color.

    So within the the third week I experienced an issue with the right earphone. Took a week to fix it because it’s nearly impossible to fix but so easy to ruin it. The foam piece can easily be moved triggering loud ringing

    Excellent sound quality compared to other buds I’ve tested. They beat out the AirPods Pro no contest, and same with their older big sibling the XM4’s. For the price, the audio is crisp and punchy, great battery life, nice build material and nice looking, and VERY lightweight.

    These headphones work great at first. The downside is if you want to use only one earbud for a phone call, you can only use the left one solo so it must drain the battery life in that one. Now it doesn't fully charge to 100% and it only lasts about 20 minutes while I'm using it. Once it dies, I can't just transition to using the right one on its own. I would recommend finding earbuds where the right OR left can be used alone. Otherwise, the sound quality of the buds are good for music and phone calls.
