Exactly What I needed – Best balance of all aspects.
TLDR: These are great earbuds for those who want a smooth professional looking set of earbuds that deliver amazing sound without the need for phone apps and complex equalizers. Case design provides a very solid and smooth platform for safety and charging, though some may have difficulty removing the earbuds for use.Long and involved review full of personal bias and opinions:This is probably the best earbuds I’ve had to date.With previous earbuds I’ve had better sound, or longer battery life, or better range, or better comfort, or more options, but I’ve honestly never had the best balance of all of those things in one set of earbuds.First off, no App necessary. Sure, apps are great to twink things and adjust EQ’s, but they also cause almost more problems than they create solutions. The sound from these are very good, very balanced. Bass is there when it needs to be, highs the same thing. The first set of buds that I haven’t felt the need to twink the sound in a long time. I find that the sound is very well balanced. On occasion I miss the bass, but I’ve found that it depends on what the music emphasizes. On songs that have bass, the bass is STRONG. but most songs don’t do this, so if you’re looking for greater flexibility or control on the sound, this may not be your thing.Style: very modern and smooth. you may not think about it, but how the earbuds are designed go a long ways towards comfort and feel. these are simply and direct. you know where the buttons are, where the speakers are. They also don’t look like alien growths coming out of your ears. very sleek and modern feel and appearance. I would not feel bad wearing these in a meeting with Director or above level representatives. Grey/black tone design fits well with most professional environments.Case: I can’t tell you how many earbuds I’ve had that were great buds but ruined by the case design. the design here is great: magnetic closure is sound with a nice click, buds are secure and charge easily. Its the only case I’ve had in 4 different setups that I actually liked. the buds are very secure in the case. Some people have mentioned difficulty getting them out of the case. if you just use your index finger and thumb, and position them above the buds and squeeze and pull together, they come out easily. but they are very secure in the case, some consider this a bad, I consider it good.Function: very easy to understand and simple to use. unlike many other buds, they use simple push buttons at the top of the earbuds. I LIKE THIS. I hate having to constantly tap an earbud wondering if it’s actually working as intended or not. 2 buttons, simple operations listed in the manual. stable, strong, secure. I like it.Cons: I feel it’s important to list some cons, as all products have them. So here it is:Although I love how they fit into the case, they are a deep and tight fits. some people have problems pulling them out. they’re cylindrical in design: grab the cylinder between thumb and forefinger and squeeze as you pull up, I never had issues doing it this way.Lack of equalizer and phone app may irritate some people, but the sound balance is so good IMO that it isn’t needed. these are earbuds for people who want to insert and go.When using for work as a mic, I tend to like to have only one bud in, and it seems a bit finicky when trying to get it to recognize that you want it to work as speaker and earbud when you only have one earbud in. I have to put both in initially, then pull one out, and it works fine. otherwise, people can’t hear me on my meetings. I may find settings that fix this, but in the meantime, it seems like an extra step that doesn’t need to be there.that’s it. I’m looking for other negatives, haven’t found them. Unless your a high end audiophile and want that specific level of control, these earbuds are amazing and do the job +10

Great value, impressive battery life, good audio quality. Mic can be finicky
Overall great quality, especially for the price. I am very happy with them.3-month update: Most of my review remains unchanged but I have had sporadic cases where people I am talking to in a call say my microphone sounds muted and far away. This seems to be dependent on how they are positioned. Tilting the mic part forward seems to help, but I don’t think is ideal fit-wise. Changed from 5 stars to 4.The sound quality is very good for a true wireless IEM. Don’t expect them to sound like full-sized audiophile headphones, but they are Very good for what they are. These are not the active noise cancelling version but the physical sound isolation is good enough for shared office use. They will accept most aftermarket memory foam ear-tips, but most will not fit in the charging case when attached. Manufacturer has their own that should fit, but I haven’t tried them yet.Any complaints are all pretty minor. I initially had some microphone and latency issues using these with my Windows PC, but customer support was great and helped me get the problems fixed quickly.Pros:- Good sound quality for a true wireless.- Excellent battery life- Great customer service.- Good fit customizability with provided ear tips and pads- Good priceMinor Cons:- Microphone is good enough but not superb- Initial setup issues that were Windows specific, but easily fixed- Occasional connectivity issues but easily fixed by a reset- Call answer button doesn’t seem to work with Microsoft Teams on Windows- No built-in mic mute function

The sound quality is petfect

Yep, they are as good as they say. Worth every penny.First earbuds to have 3 separate speakers in each earpiece. One dedicated to base. Bass can be decreased or increased via the app.PROS-Best sound I’ve heard from earbud-style headphones. These sound better than the Airpods Pro 1’s I own. I don’t choose to listen to music on Airpod’s level-of sound-quality, but I would listen to music on these.-3 different sizes of eartips, AND 3 different sizes of wingtips.-Many different end-results (all the ones you could want) can be achieved via tapping. Volume can be adjusted !from! earpieces.-I can be 3-4 times as far away from my phone as I could on Airpods(Android)!! Airpods, when you are too far-away the-connection will drop, and you have to go back to the phone to pair. Status’, when you are too far-away the connection will stutter, eventually cut-out, BUT when you go back close-enough to the phone it will !automatically! just start playing again.-Battery-life is noticeably more. 2-3times more.CONS-CRAZY too-hard, literally near-impossible to put-on a different ear-tips. I can BARELY do it. Strong potential to tear eartips while attempting this.-Airpods are the more-comfortable of the the two. I will forget I have Airpods on, not with these (little more weight/size)-Status’ stick-out further, & aren’t-very streamlined so… they can get caught on stuff, are not-compatible with winter-hats, etc.-The tap-controls require you to be very precise, and don’t always do what you want. ~25% of tap-attempts fail. Hard-to-not adjust the volume by-accident when trying to do a tap-command. Instructions point to the back center of the UPPER-1/2… but I find the center of the whole-back works best. A-little painful-&-loud tapping it to-do tap-commands.The ‘EQUALIZER MODE’ from the app i prefer is:’Status Audiophile’
