Extremely Comfortable w/ Some Connectivity Issues
I just started using these earbuds and they have pros and cons. The cons would not be as much an issue if these were cheap headphones, but for nearly $80 these should not be an issue.
Pros:
-These earbuds are the most comfortable I have ever used. I have earbuds in my ears for 4-8 hours a day when working, on the bus, and exercising. Usually after a long period of time (an hour or two) my ears start to hurt or the buds start to fall out of my ears. That is not a problem with these. The foam is extraordinarily comfortable and because it expands like ear plugs it molds to your ear.
- The noise isolation is superb. When these are in you can't hear much at all, which means you don't have to turn the volume up to high levels when in a noisy environment to hear your music or podcast or whatever. This means your hearing is protected long-term.
Cons
- The connectivity can be trippy when walking and bending over. The connection to whatever you are listening to will phase out for a second or two then come back. You can still listen to whatever you are wanting to but it is very annoying and for a pair of earbuds that cost nearly $80 this should not be an issue.
As a result I gave it 3 stars because of how expensive it they are. If it was $40 or less It would be 4 stars, but that at that price tag we should not have connectivity problems.
Update: after about 4 months of use one earbud does not work anymore. I am going to attempt to make good on the 1 year warranty. It is very disappointing because these were very comfortable earbuds that were amazing when they worked correctly.
