Update 2/17: After four months of very little use, the earbuds no longer pair with the dongle or any other device. Do not buy these.
Pros:
Good build quality.
Multiple ear tips for different size ears.
Mono sound (right earbud only) if you want to have one ear open.
Mic works over the dongle (firmware upgrade needed).
Cons:
EPOS Software is a buggy mess. Good luck trying to upgrade the firmware or save sound profiles.
Randomly disconnects often. I tried iPhone, Android, and PC to confirm it wasn't my device.
Sound quality is quite poor. I tried different sound profiles and even made some of my own.
Mic is atrocious. Sounds like you're in a tin can underwater to others.
Bottom line....these aren't worth more than $25 in their current state. That being said, I'd give EPOS another chance if they released an updated version with better sound and software. The hardware itself is well built and looks/feels nice.
Sound quality won't blow you away but they're certainly as good as you can expect at this price range.
Saw some reviews complain about poor noise cancellation but they don't claim to have that feature--it is "noise reducing" as in the sealed design of an IEM type of earbud will block out most noise and they do a fairly good job of that.
A recent firmware update fixed a few connection bugs I had and finally added the ability to use the microphone over the USB dongle.
Overall very satisfied with these earbuds!
That said, don't know if I'd say these are worth full price, but for what I paid, they are excellent.
