I've had issues with the mic on cheaper headsets where people can't hear me well but haven't heard a single complaint since I got these. Sound is crisp and clear as well.
I encountered an issue a few months after I purchased these where the sound failed in the right earbud. The amazon seller referred me to Bowers and Wilkins where I learned that they have a 2-year warranty! I sent the defective set off to Bowers and Wilkins and a week later a brand new replacement set was delivered to me. I've never spent more than 20 bucks on earbuds before but I'm glad I bit the bullet on this set.
However I notice Bluetooth connectivity issues where there is *any* moisture. So these definitely do not hold up when working out, which is something B&W readily admits; they are not meant for the gym. Even on a hike where my neck gets a little sweaty, I have had connection drops and power off issues. So I started taping over the open charge port with electrical tape, and that helps a lot.
Buy these for amazing sound, but don't expect them to work properly at the gym or anywhere moisture can build up around them. Disappointing for this price point!!
But still, they are amazing to listen to.
Why do the rubber pieces fall off so easy
Battery life sucks
(original post)
Love these. Best Btluetooth earbuds I have used to date. I am an audio and video engineer in NYC by trade and I've owned several apirs of BT earbuds without satisfaction, they were always a comprimise compared to wired ones. I've been an IEM fan for years and have used the Shure SeE series as well as a few more expensive ones with the MMCX connection. I recently tried Shure's BT2 MMCX cable and was very disappointed so I decided to try these... I was blown away with the sound quality and would say they rivaled even the best wired IEM's I have. Remarkable sound and build quality. You will want to charge these often and keep them topped off since the battery does drain quicker at full volume but not an issue for me. I also have B&W PX on ear noise cancelling headphone which I love as well. I cannot reccomend these highly enough for the price!

Bei meinen Earbuds hatte ich immer das Gefühl, da fällt mir gleich einer aus dem Ohr und verschwindet auf nimmer Wiedersehen irgendwo auf der Straße.
Das PI3 Headset fühlt sich insgesamt sehr wertig an. Es liegt gut auf der Schulter auf und trägt sich sehr angenehm leicht obwohl schon ein paar Gramm auf die Waage bringt. Auch beim Laufen bleiben die Hörer, wo sie hin gehören. Sehr angenehm finde ich, dass man gleichzeitig laden und hören kann.
Wenn man den sehr guten Sound haben will, dann geht das nur, wenn man die Hörer so tief in die Ohren führt, dass man (fast) keine Aussengeräusche mehr hört. Das war eigentlich nicht meine Intention. Beim Radfahren höre ich doch noch ganz gerne, was um mich herum stattfindet.
Der Sound ist über das gesamte Frequenzspektrum (das ich noch hören kann) gleich gut aufgeteilt. Einzig bei den Bässen habe ich das Gefühl, dass sie elektrisch aufbereitet werden und nicht ganz natürlich klingen. Das kann aber auch eindeutig an meinem Gehör liegen, das mit dem Alter leider nicht besser wird.
Das Headset sieht gut aus, trägt sich angenehm und macht auf mich nicht den Eindruck, als ob es schon nach kurzer Zeit mit Kabelbruch aufgeben würde.
Vom mir volle Punktzahl.
al primo impatto le stavo rendendo per colpa della mia poca dimestichezza con questa tipologia di cuffie
il corretto posizionamento nelle orecchie è infatti fondamentale per gustarne le prestazioni
suono classico B&W , senza nessuna enfasi o colorazione, quello che riceve da , senza interferire
leggere , batteria di buona durata e di veloce ricarica, da abituarsi alle parti con i comandi che "penzolano" e possono interferire con i movimenti
sembrano abbastanza stabili
comandi comodi una volta che ci si prende la mano
mi risultano scomode (come tutte le cuffie in ear) ma per l'uso che ne devo fare sono ok
per il prezzo al quale le ho pagate posso definirle di un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo
Disappointed with amazon as well how could they allow anything to be sold on their platform.
