Everything I wanted and expected.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered these with good hesitation since most of the reviews say these come without eartips or with issues but im pleased that mine came with eartips although only the small/Large ones which is fine for me and the actual buds and case themselves came absolutely spotless as you could convince me they were just an openbox or even new and so far no issues what so ever so safe to say im very satisfied for only paying around 60$ i got near top of the line earbuds and the fact in came in the original box was a very nice detail especially for people who collect those types of things as myself.

Q: QuestionShould this come with the buds 2 cardboard normal box? Mine just came scratched in a random plástico wrap. Did anyone else get this? Also this probably isnt normal but, did anyone's pairs come without a silicone tip? Mine just had nothing.
Asked by gremiovic.
- A:Answer My earbuds came in the original packaging with silicone tips and charging cord.
Answered by Screen
Q: QuestionCan these earbuds connect to multiple devices-electronics @ the same time(@ least 2 things)...or do they only allow connection to 1 device? Thank you.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer No, but they have seamless device switching. This simply means you can switch devices without having to un-pair from your previously connected device. Each device would need to be paired with your Buds 2 first but once they are paired you can simply go to your new device's bluetooth setting and connect to the Buds 2. It will automatically disconnect from you previous device and connect to your new device quickly and seamlessly.
