Beware software/batter issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great for a bit over a year. But after that the right earbud started to deplete so fast that the buds would not last over 45m this is apparently a known issue with not just these but the WX models. My device was out of warranty and I was reffered to a repair/servicer who wanted me to pay more than 60$ to replace/service the buds. Not okay considering this seems to be a very common issue with this and the WX model, yet no recall or service route for these deffects is available.
