Awesome!
I want to begin by saying that I have been a major fan of ear buds since I discovered them. My ear canals are apparently big and most of the time, regular ear pods falls out and don't fit comfortably. I prefer the ear buds that you squish down, and then put them into your ears so they expand to block noise and fit comfortably. I went into these bluetooth ear buds half expecting them to fit uncomfortably but wanted to give them a shot.
They arrived and I opened the box, and immediately noticed they were packaged very nicely! The case was fully charged, as were the ear pods right out of the box, so I changed out the little rubber fittings for the largest ones (a usual practice for me) and popped them in. I like these because they fit nicely in the ear without any discomfort, and you can kind of "twist" them into your ears and they stay there amazingly. I decided to put them to the test and started by eating with them in.
I ate an entire meal listening to my favorite music, and not once did they fall out or become loose. Win. I then did the dishes and wanted to try the touch functionality with wet hands. I was able to pause my music, play the music again, and go to the next song without difficulty, even with wet hands. There are touch sensors on BOTH buds so you can simply touch the bug once to pause, touch it once again to replay, or touch and hold to go to the next song. This worked surprisingly well!
I wanted to try the functionality speaking on the phone with these, and this was an area where the buds fell short. I called my brother and while I could hear him great, he said I was pretty muffled and couldn't hear me very well. I was only talking at a normal volume so if I HAD to take a phone call while running or bike riding, I could always relay the message that I would call them back, but I couldn't have a full on conversation with these. No big deal in my book since I prefer to use my phone for phone calls anyway, and I didn't get these to talk on the phone, but definitely worth mentioning.
I then took these outside in the yard to do some yard work, and I ended up doing more physical work than I intended to. I eventually had to bust out my axe to chop a tree that was growing into a fence, and I almost forgot these were in my ears (in a good way)! They didn't budge at all and I didn't have to readjust them, which was very surprising to me.
As far as sound quality goes, the I would give the treble a 9 or 10, they sound GREAT even at max volume. The bass isn't anything amazing, it is definitely there but in the bass category, I do prefer my wired ear buds. I didn't expect these to have amazing bass since that would absolutely kill the battery life on them, but again it is worth mentioning.
Regarding battery life, I had these in and playing for 3-4 hours yesterday non stop and they didn't die! I was expecting a 3 hour battery life max, but they surprised me there. I popped them back in the charging case at the end of the day, and when I woke up the next morning they were charged, ready to go, and t he case still had 3 bars of battery left on it. I assume you could get 5-10 charges with the case.
The case not only charges the ear buds, but it also has a USB port on it so you can plug any USB device into it and charge that as well. Based on my previous experience with a 15,000 mAh and a 6,000 mAh power bank, I would assume I could charge an iPhone X once or MAYBE twice off of this power bank, but no more. I didn't plan on using this as an extra power bank anyway, but good to know you can!
All in all, for $50 these really cant be beat. Very satisfied :)

These continue to be awesome! I use one bud in my ear every morning on a short walk to work, and I have been mountain biking several times with these and they do NOT fall out! I actually frequently box with them in my ears and they again, do NOT fall out! Loving these things!
