" ... The sound quality is alright but wow that’s like the only thing ok with them they don’t charge in the case only when it’s plugged in and when it is plugged in they make a really annoying high pitched squeel! ... "

" ... Their sound is quite decent for the price. ... "
" ... Battery life is amazing as well as noise cancellation and sound quality! ... "
" ... - Overall good sound quality ... The Bose had the best overall sound quality, but the price was the issue. ... "
" ... Really great for spoken word and podcasts, pretty good for most music I’ve tried. ... "
" ... They are in ear, so they block out some of the outside sound. ... "
" ... One thing I hate is muddy sound and these are extremely well balanced. ... I compared them to my daughter's air pods and I honestly think these sound better, especially when listening to 80's music, which I listen to mostly. ... Update: After having these for a couple of weeks, the sound is really amazing. ... "

" ... Fit right out of the package and are fairly comfortable. ... "
" ... They sound great, and fit well, though every once in a while (couple hours) they cut out for a fraction of a second. ... Slim enough to fit under my motorcycle helmet, although I have to pull the sides out a little bit when putting it on so that the helmet slides on without knocking them out. ... "
" ... Overall solid ear pods. ... "
" ... Solid product as it normally is from anker did lots of research was between this and Jabra elite Active but they are $$$ this totally fit the bill sound quality is amazing and the BASS is so good definitely a very solid buy so comfy too as it comes with a bunch of ear pieces and such so you can customize to your ear and sound quality on call is top notch ... "
" ... I was an early adopter of truly-wireless earbuds, having spent a lot of money on Bragi The Dash Pro and Bose models in recent years. ... The case is solid and surprisingly small yet holds its charge long enough to recharge the headphones completely at least twice before having to hook it up to the wall. ... The buds are small and come with more than enough fit tip options to ensure a good seal and secure fit for almost anyone. ... "
" ... Sounds quality is amazing for the price, they won't fit on small ears, customer service is excellent. ... "
" ... It took some playing around to find the right combination of wings and ear tips, but they feel very secure in my ears. ... "
" ... The connection is number one, the sound quality is very good and the plug in the ears is perfect, it relay holds very weel, for me. ... "

" ... Nice case for carrying and charging. ... "
" ... Another Anker success. ... "
" ... Anker has made a lot of quality products and these wireless earbuds are no different. ... "
