    The case could be smaller but these don't fall out of my ears like the Samsung's do. i love the sound quality and the noise cancelling actually works! The range on the Bluetooth could be better as well.

    Takes a bit of time getting used to the ear tips, but the sound isolation is phenomenal. This is before you even kick on the ANC. LDAC tends to cut out audio from time to time, but i prefer crisp clear audio over connection if I have to choose. Happens far less often when theres fewer wireless devices nearby.
