    Great earbuds. Loved everything about them. Now the battery only lasts 1 hour after 2 years. Dramatic drop in battery life out of nowhere. Used to last all day. Guess I'll buy some airpods.

    I loved these while they worked, but after just a year and a half there seems to be something wrong with the batteries. The left ear bud lasts just minutes and the right, maybe an hour. Definitely not worth the money if they can’t even last two years.

    I really wanted to like these because on paper they check every box I was looking for in an earbud. However, after running into numerous issues between two different sets I cannot recommend these. The first pair I had for 13 days and in that time I found that they randomly disconnected, had static issues, and the mic made me sound robotic. I exchanged those hoping I just had a dud, but within hours of getting the new pair I found more issues. When the ANC and adaptive sound control are turned off, the left ear bud makes a high pitched screeching noise. These also have static during calls. With all these issues I have to return them. I suppose I was lucky I had problems so quickly so I can at least get my money back. I would save yourself the trouble and get a different brand.

    Didn’t like the fact that they had touch controls. My ears are small so with headphones like these i have to push them in a lot. Everytime I wound push them back in some control would go off, which was very frustrating. Didn’t feel stable in my ears and would start sliding every couple of seconds. I returned and i’m sticking to my Beats pros.

      Hi Isabella,

      Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. If the unit is still with you, please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To adjust the fit of the headset to your ears, make sure to twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal.
