Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I currently own three pairs of bluetooth earbuds. One pair is great overall but not very comfortable. The other pair is much more comfortable but has some annoying quirks like having to pair twice for using one earbud vs two and causing my phone's volume to shoot to 100% every time they connect. So far, this pair has passed all of my tests: 1) Sound quality is great. Plenty of bass without muddying the mid-range and crisp clear highs. They honestly sound really great (especially for their price). 2) These connect to my phone quickly and allow me to switch between stereo and mono with minimal interruption. Stereo to mono is instant. Mono to stereo causes a brief pause while the earbuds inform me of which is primary and which is secondary but this is okay. No weird volume jumps on connection and you only have to pair once to use the buds in all variations of L, R, and L+R. 3) No noticeable audio lag. One of my pairs of earbuds has about a 300 ms lag, which makes watching any kind of video rather annoying since audio is out of sync with the video. With these, a/v sync is spot on. 4) Well designed case with a magnetic lid and strong magnets to hold the earbuds against the charge pins. With these, I don't feel like I have to worry about them shifting off of the pins and randomly connecting to my phone, or killing themselves in the case. They're pulled firmly into position and I don't have to wiggle them around to get the pins to connect. I plan to purchase an extra wireless charger to test the case's wireless charging ability, which is a very thoughtful addition by the designer, since this technology is very cheap to implement but adds functionality and convenience. 5) The most important test of all: comfort. These are sized nicely. They fit well in my ears without having to force them into place, yet they don't feel like they will fall out. They're very light and don't put pressure any parts of my ear. I haven't used them for an extended period yet, so I can't speak for their comfort over more than an hour or so, but they already feel better than my other earbuds. All in all, I've found my new favorite pair out of my three. One of my pairs was a gift, so I intend to hang onto them but I may pass my other pair to someone else since I don't think they'll be seeing much use moving forward.
