    I've tried almost every wireless earbuds from apple, LG, Sony, Jbl, LG, anker, etc and these are simply the best and the only pair honestly worth over $100. The sound quality is similar to wired earbuds in the 250-400$ range, they can connect to any 2 devices at a time (not just Apple or just Android or just pc) so you can hear your phone and pc without having to reconnect to Bluetooth, the noise canceling is good. The only real issue is that the foam tips it comes with are too rubbery and chafe my inner ear canal where they sit. I got comply foam tips instead and now these earbuds are pretty much perfect to me

    Sound quality is amazing, just some of the features dont work as well as you would expect them to. The google assistant can be a bit frusterating, and the the touch sensitivity for headpjones isnt that good. i have to tap a few times to turn on/off noise cancellation. Noise cancellation sometimes turns on/off by itself idk if its an issue w just my earphones alone, maybe cause i habe longer hair? When your working out you can somewhat hear headphones bouncing in ear. I love thebsound quality tho, makes it worth it. Wish theyd fix the additional features

    Excellent noise cancelling, great sound quality, decent ambient sound mode. They gotta be slammed into your ear canals to sound good, though. The app is cool, and it’s neat to be able to fine tune the audio. AI-audio upsampling on the fly is extremely nice.
