Good, but risk of ear pain
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great battery life and the sound's ok. The ANC could use some work, but that's expected with earbuds. I had connection issues, and they say to make sure your phone is in your right pocket. Really? Why's that a big deal? The main issue is that 9 months after purchasing, the earbuds randomly make a loud, high-pitched screeching noise that doesn't go away unless you put them back into the case.
