Unstable connection makes this unusable in crowded situations or anywhere with lots of people.
I wanted to like these buds. The specs were right in the sweet spot of what I was looking for: long battery life, good call quality, easy to pair. However, it fell short in one critical area that unfortunately will force me to relegate this to a drawer of my desk that has all the failed purchases and other items that were close, but no cigar.I live in NYC so the expectation was that I can use this on the train ride to work and walking around town. I'm not sure of the Bluetooth protocol but these buds could not maintain a steady bluetooth connection to my Galaxy S8. The connection was constantly jittery, as if it was getting stepped on by the multitudes of other wireless devices around me on a crowded street. This is very disappointing. I have other bluetooth headsets and they don't have this issue.I then went to the beach, again with these buds. On a Connecticut shoreline, with few people, the connection was stable and didnt suffer the same issues.So, in conclusion, these are good buds - if you don't live in a major city or other area with lots of people.I can only rate this a 2 star effort. 1 star short of my personal bar of "hey at least it works."

Will keep buying these over and over!!
I wanted to wait a few months after getting these to write my review so I had time to see how they worked. I bought these for listening to music at work. battery life and comfort were key! I must say they do not disappoint! They only take roughly an hour for a full charge and last multiple days on one charge. I listen to them straight for about 5-6 hours a day. The standby time is incredible as well I didn’t listen or charge them for two weeks as I was out of the office. I came back in and turned them on and they were still at a 3/4 battery life! The sound quality is excellent too and somewhat noise canceling. I am ready to buy another pair just in the event these ever go bad! The price point is excellent as well! Must buy!!

Ear pieces fallout after a while
The earphones are very easy to sync with your devices. I have no trouble pairing them with my laptop and my phone. The sound quality is great in my opinion. I read a lot of reviews that said the sound quality is not good, but I have not experienced that. Once fully charged, the battery life is great. It usually lasts me at about two days.The only thing that annoys me about the product is the earbuds. I've had them for about 5 months now and a few weeks ago, they kept slipping out of my ear. Every time I took the earbuds out, they would slip of the earphones completely. Thankfully they have extras, however, the sizes are not the same. One more thing that bothers me is that they get a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time. It's bearable, but I wish it was not uncomfortable.

Falls out no matter what
Constantly fall out of ears no matter what tips or wings they give you is attached. I can barely wear them to lift weights, I can't imagine someone wearing them for running. The cable is way too long and constantly grabbing on things that will inevitably pull it out from your ear. The sound quality is good but there is a slight hiss in the right ear In some frequencies at high volume. All in all, skip these headphones.

So so so bad. Just don't buy them.
Literally the WORST headphones I've ever owned. Where to start??Sound: Tinny and sharp. Almost painful in quality.The connection is so incredibly bad that literally turning your head to look both ways before you cross the street causes such extreme skipping that you can't understand what you're hearing; it seriously skips like 5 seconds at a time.After a few months, charging the battery is worthless. After a full day of charging, it gives the "low battery" alarm after a few minutes.Occasionally, there is a sharp, electronic blip that's so loud and painful that it affects your hearing. It is literally damaging to your hearing, both temporarily and permanently.And just happens randomly. It is so loud that it physically hurts.They constantly fall out of your ears.The attachable earbud thingies fall off so frequently that you find yourself spending more time searching for the bloody thing on the sidewalk than actually listening to music.I know they're cheap. But this is honestly the WORST investment I've ever purchased. Everytime I use them I am filled with rage. Absolutely a ripoff.

Sound quality excellent
Great sound quality but for my ears they keep popping out and its annoying. When talking on the phone the bluetooth quality is perfect. No issues. Better then most. Battery lasts easily for 8 hours as described. I sit at my desk at work all day and listen to my music. Didn't die once. switched all the diferent ear buds it came with and still popping out of ear. I really eanted to keep these but will have to return. Overall I would recommend

Wanna "hear" something?
My first pair of bluetooth headphones....they are ok. The sound quality is good( I use them mainly for listening to audiobooks. ) I work a 10 hour shift and the battery does great. It usually lasts about 8 hours before needing a charge. The one thing that I am not fond of is the comfort level....not so much comfort. They tend to get a little uncomfortable after about 2 hours or so. But maybe I have weird ears....it is a great product though. Worth the money.

Pleasantly Surprised
These are a great value. I'd never bought Bluetooth headphones before because they seemed like such a waste of money. Apple headphones have never stayed in my ears, so I was worried these wouldn't fit in my ears either. Surprisingly they fit perfectly right out of the box! These do skip on occasion, but I've been able to run 10 miles with these mostly without issue. They're reliable 99% of the time! The battery life is surprisingly good too. Even if these died in 3 months I'd be ok with it based on how much they cost.
