    Sound quality is amazing! The controls are a lot to learn but once you’ve got them down it’s great. These don’t fall out of my ears and the noise cancelling is truly noise canceling. Also the battery life is ridiculous I can not charge the case for days and still have life left.

    Only slight annoyance I have is when I’m in the car I sometimes have these on in a call but listen to my music via Bluetooth to the car. If I decide to pair my phone with my car or my call and these are outside the case they override your selection and make themselves the main connection

      Hi HMart, thank you for sharing your honest review of your experience using the WFLS900N. We're sorry if the headphones override's the connection when it is outside the case. As part of the normal operation, when the last-connected Bluetooth device is placed near the headset, the headset may connect automatically to the device by simply turning on the headset. If this is the case, deactivate the Bluetooth function on the last-connected device or turn off the power.

    These are some of the best earbuds I’ve ever tried. I tried a load of different earbuds that I do enjoy as much as these from the AirPod pros a bunch of the New beats products and the bose,  they are extremely comfortable very small so they fit in your ears and the sound quality is incredible. The app is easy to use, overall 10/10

    The sound quality is pretty good. Battery life is about what I expected, though I've had better. The bluetooth isn't amazing though. It's a shorter range than my old, cheaper, skullcandies and gets interrupted easier. They're a decent pair of headphones but I'm honestly probably going to go back to skullcandy after these are done. However if they're on sale they're a pretty good pair.

    These headphones are amazing and the dark horse of high quality headphones. You can program it to go into noise cancelation depending the environment (yes it's a bit smart). Also phone calls are amazing, for not only can you hear the opposite end clearly. They can hear you clearly and not get overwhelmed by the background noise which is a huge plus!
