Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Summary: Better sound quality than most, cheaper than the top-of-the-line active noise cancelling sets, and consistent connectivity. My background - former recording engineer/musician, so my other set of earphones are quad-driver custom molded in-ears. I'm not expecting that level of quality from a set of $2-300 wireless units, but I don't put up with bad sound quality and I like relatively flat response. I've previously tried the Jabra 75t's and other, less expensive units, couldn't deal with the sound quality and dropouts. I'm not a fan of hugely stilted EQ (the Jabras in particular had bass that was incredibly overpowering in a bad way). ** The good ** - Sound quality is great for a set of $200 earphones. EQ adjustment was minimal to get them in the 'sweet spot' where I could hear everything. Highs and transients could be a bit smoother, but everything is there and you can pull the things you want up/down vs just having to correct for massive problems. Soundstage is impressive for something this small and (relatively) inexpensive. - Connectivity is miles better than I've had before. I used to get dropouts riding my bike on other units (3 foot connection distance), and with these I can walk across the room and there's no issue. Time will tell if this holds for other use cases, but so far so good! - Battery life is solid at 7 hours default, plus more with the case. Longer than I'd ever have them in for in one setting, anyways. - USB C charger. Love USB C and use it for most of my other devices, so this is handy. - The Android/iOS app is great and easy to use. Relatively easy setting it up/getting it connected. ** The not-as good ** - Right ear only for solo stuff - doesn't bother me, and they explicitly tell you this in the instructions, but be aware of it if you're a left-ear only type person. - No ANC - I didn't want active noise cancellation, so up to you if you want it or not. The ANC version the Sennheiser makes is $100 more, so up to you. - Slightly wonky firmware updates that take 45 minutes. Hopefully won't have to do this often, so not a big deal to me. Overall, I'm very happy with these - I'd been waiting to see if they'd release a version cheaper than the Momentum Wireless 2's, and this has answered my request! I'll update this review if anything goes haywire down the road, but so far these seem like a keeper.
