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.

Just don't.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money and dont buy these, little after a year of owning them the battery of the right earbud went bad and it would not hold charge and it would die in less than 10 minutes of being used, the left earbud seems to be fine but it cannot even be used if the other one is dead.
