Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Edit: don't bother with these, they suck and don't last at all. 100% crap. Original: These are pretty bad. But they are pretty cheap. I would recommend buying at a price point between $20-$25 and don't think these are worth paying by more than $30 for. The good: Yes they work (mostly); calling (speaking and listening) is clear; pairing is easy; mono mode switching is seamless. The bad: Touch controls are very...touchy. I frequently end up stopping playback or changing the volume when I try to adjust the buds' positions in my ear. 6 different bud tips to choose from are included and yet I have never been so uncomfortable. I swapped them out for earbud tips from another pair of earbuds. These are very finnicky about holding a charge. In my experience so far, if one bud is fully charged and in the dock then the other bud will not charge. And they seem to hold the charge for an inconsistent amount of time (I've gotten anywhere from 45 mins. to nearly 6 hrs.). These buds also seem to want to start pairing as soon as the case is opened, by even the tiniest amount (a single strip of electrical tape kept the case open enough for this to happen). Occasionally these drop out of sync for a brief second, going from stereo to double-mono and then back to stereo. Annoying but intermittent, and seems to be related to bluetooth reception. The ugly: The case is infuriating. It is extremely difficult to open because of its geometry and the lack of a meaningful lip to open the lid with. I had to put a few dots of hot glue on the case to get enough grip. The unknown: No idea about waterproofing claims.
