★★★★☆
Galaxy note 8 user experience.
I have gotten these buds for work because my wired headphones are completely annoying. But I will give these 4 stars. Let me explain why:
Sound: these are fantastic. Not a lot of bass, but clear sounds nonetheless. Could had been better. 4 stars.
Note: changing the sound quality with the equalizer settings has fixed the sound quality. Recommend it if you know how to use it.
Connection: 5 stars. No complains.
Calling: Same as using your phone to call. They don't give any problems. 5 stars.
Ambient sound: Sounds as if you were going through a water fall. You can hear, no doubt. But, you'll hear things louder than usual and yes, they sound weird when you talk. 3.5 stars.
Battery: Fixed from the 2016 issue with a shut down button. So far, you can keep your charges for a week or more (by using the shut down button). They do allow 5 hours of power (tested). 5 stars
Single piece: You have to go into settings and change your sound option to mono if you're using one. You can still use some features (functions) with just one of them. They're both touch sensitive. 5 stars.
Sensitivity: you will get used to them. However, if moving or placing them on, they do activate rather quickly. They're not bad, unless you're that person who sweats and needs to dry up. 4 stars
Feel: they are comfortable after you switch the wing tips to the right size. They're very small in actual size. After a while you'll actually forget you're using them. But I want to address something. The small plastic on the top where the wing tips are is very uncomfortable. It will irritate your ears. My recommendation is to move the buds clock wise and counter clock wise until you can't feel it anymore. However, after a while, you'll feel it again. 3.5 stars.
Find my gear: These are not GPS enabled. However, they give out a sound that you can hear (not loud). They'll beep for 3 minutes and then stop. They need to put more effort into this feature. This is the main thing that these buds will need. They're not loud enough to hear if it's under your couch.. 2 stars.
Overall: the performance on these buds are amazing once you get used to it. You do have to mess with it for a while.
Extra info: these buds will have another issue (all earphones has this problem). Your earwax and sweat will cause the gears to sound lower than normal. I recommend cleaning the grill that covers the speakers if that happens.
Also, the battery does slowly drain from the case. So you will need to shut them off using the shut down button on the top where the wing tips are. It's behind the plastic point. Hold it for 7 seconds with a paper clip or a needle to shut them off.
Final edit: if you're reading other reviewers about the low sound problem, please read where your earwax will cause this issue. Clean the grill every month or 2 weeks depending on your usage. Or better yet, remove it and keep the area clean whenever you see the earwax.
Final edit#2: these has been updated for better sound in ambient and now has an equilizer.
