    I ended up buy both the Beats Fit Pro and Sony blah blah blah... thing. Excusing the forgetful name, this is an amazing product. This is my go to earbuds for travel and ANC and just about everything. If stays in my ears perfectly and comfortable for long flights. This has better ANC than Beats, and the Sony has really good connection with iPhone. I only used the Beats fit pro for gym because I sweat lot and don't want get the Sony dirty. Also, the touch sensors are very responsive, where as every time I try to adjust the Beats during workout, I accidentally click the button.

      Hi Metalatino, We're so happy to hear you're enjoying all the improvements we made of these earbuds headphones. Also, we are glad to know you appreciate the design and comfortably in your ears while keeping out external sounds.

    Needed some good-quality noise-canceling headphones and got these. So far, they've delivered. Sound great, and the noise canceling is also great. Sometimes I just put them in just for the sake of dampening loud noise and they get the job done.

    I love these earbuds. The noise canceling works pretty well. My favorite thing is the high quality audio playback. If you listen to lossless audio, these are the perfect choice. I can finally enjoy listening to the quality of FLAC audio on my phone. I also have them paired with my PC. The app for the earbuds is also very easy to use, it recently got a design overhaul. Highly recommend these earbuds.

    I consider myself an audio file. I spend a lot of money on audio. I was very skeptical about buying these headphones. Typically I buy beats / Apple products Just because they pair well and are easy to use But don’t always have the best sound. I did a lot of research on these headphones and read a lot of good reviews and gave them a shot. Now that I’ve had them for a few weeks, they are my headphones and I think they are absolutely amazing and worth every penny I spent. They’re very easy to set up. The equalizer is very easy to use.

The fit and comfort were key design goals for this model, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that the efforts to make them smaller and include multiple sizes of our noise-isolating foam tips are delivering a superior wearing experience.
