||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is even better than airpods pro love the talk through feature and make sure you play around with the fitting and if you do encounter and weird thing where there is no audio is most likely your driver for Bluetooth or whatever it is not up to date run troubleshooting will automatically do it for you

Over exaggerated ANC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been waiting for these for about a week now. Sound is excellent up until the software update. They sound low now & don’t get me started with the eartips. They dont even reach my ear entrance to have a snuggle fit. I’ve tried all tips & even went as far as trying out the ear fit tester on the app. They all say 100% tight fit minus the ss size. The case itself feels cheap like cardboard & is scratched easily . Im giving it 3 stars only based on the aduio qaulity before the software update. If i were you id wait until the price drops. Will be returning mine tomorrow
