they are a headphone option
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is very good. The sound is quite good and the UI has improved a bit. I also have the WF1000XM4 and those are more comfortable by far, these hurt my ears after an hour or so (I could wear the XM4s all day). The newer headphone do not sit in their case easily, the old generation snapped into the charging case very nicely. There is no improvement to the Bluetooth connection or range, in fact it seems worse. Over the improvements do not outweigh the negatives of the newer model (which only lasted me about a year). More planned obsolescence trash unfortunately.

Poor Fit and Connectivity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried every bud tip and even some old ones I had laying around and I could not get a good seal. As a result they kept falling out of my ear and active noise canceling would not work. The sound seemed very distant and low quality and they feel very bulky in the ear. Had to return them.
