Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really expected more out of these, Anker’s Soundcore Pro $99 earbuds sound better than these, this is very depressing considering how massive of a company Apple is. I haven’t used Beats since the Studio 2s, these are not the beats I remember. The sound is extremely flat. Depending on the genre you’re listening to that might change the bass is different on hip hop music. But I tested these for about 2 hours different genres: Dance, HipHop, Death Metal, Country, Classical & dubstep. Sure they’re loud but they sound distorted any volume above 80% you lose a bunch of audio quality and you hear these make crackling sounds like if they’re struggling to deliver the sound. I’m not sure why almost every earbud company struggles with loud volumes, I remember back when we used wired earbuds this was never an issue. You’d think after almost a decade of Bluetooth this wouldn’t be an issue anymore. I’m very disappointed I bet Dr Dre is swinging at the air using these. The case is extremely flimsy, if you even touch it it’s all smudged and look like they’re months old. Wtf Apple? These should be atleast $80 earbuds. The packaging is a failure too Apple really cheaped out on everything, it’s like they were on a rush to compete with Sony, Bose & other new earbuds. Go back to r&d Apple you have to realize not everyone likes flat sound. To everyone leaving positive reviews, it’s clear they don’t own any other earbuds besides AirPods, I’m not here to kiss Apples Butt, I’m a real consumer who cares about getting their moneys worth. The ANC is far from being affective at anything. The only noise it can cover is light background noise. These will definitely not silence a plane, car, traffic, kids playing. Come on Apple get it together..
