Right out of the box, these have no directions on how to pair them to a Bluetooth device. Only to download an app. The also does not inform you how to enable Bluetooth discovery mode.
However, not being my grandmother I assumed like most Bluetooth devices, holding the button down for a few seconds would eventually cause a blue LED to blink. It worked.
That is my only criticism of these earbuds.
After fitting the correct sized plugs into the set, I was ready to test them out.
Right away after pairing, I wanted to test the sound quality. I'm giving away my age, but I grew up testing the bass with 'Hoods Run Down' by Lil Wyte.
THEY PASSED. Imagine my shock. To say I was impressed was an understatement. The last note in the song intro is super low, and the diaphragm in these earbuds was playing it! Holy crap! But what about sound quality?
I played ultra HD songs in Dolby Atmos. They were not the loudest I ever owned. But to be honest the loud ones were great because they drown out external sounds. These go about it a different way, correct? Negative negated.
How about call quality?
I called 3 friends and my dad. They said I sounded great. They could hear a little background noise, but even in strong winds, my voice was loudest. I will say that if you dislike the sound of your voice on a recording, when you speak on a call you will hear this voice as well as your own. This is great for me because I can micromanage my inflections in my voice.
So far these are great!!
I turned on ANC (active noise cancellation) and said hi to the cat. I could not hear him. I turned on pass-through mode mode knocked on the door with music playing. I could hear it like I didn't have headphones in. I giggled with delight. This is great!
I immediately went to the gym. How well would these hold up?
Perfect!!! The don't fall out, ANC is great for "hey are you using this?", but I will say I couldn't really hear anything outside of my world. I loved these so far.
It's only been a day, but even then after the gym I stayed on the phone with a friend for a few hours before they finally said low battery in my ear.
Anyway, would highly recommend.
Update!
After a month of use I would still rate these highly. They connect to multiple Bluetooth devices, namely my work laptop and cell phone at the same time. I can transfer calls from my laptop to my mobile device and go for a walk with seamless transfer. In the office, I can go some 50 meters from my laptop before the earbuds say "Device Disconnected". The range is great. The sound quality is great. The app features and my ability to set presets is a plus. They do not get uncomfortable, although I will admit I did not used to clean my ears multiple times a day for a good fit. I did notice that the app notification of the current battery level can get stuck from time to time. However my earbuds warn me of low battery at 25%. It takes 3 hours of talk time to get that low. My family says I sound better through the device. All in all I am very happy with my purchase, and will likely get a set for a friend for the holidays.
