Update 3: I dropped these in the mid, under 4+ inches of snow, for a month. Found them today by literally stepping on them. Bright en home, washed them off under full spray on the sink, charged them up, and they were good to go. Absolutely amazing, especially for the price point.
Update 2: The warranty replacement I received from Anker has been my everyday carry headphones for more than a year and a half. They still look great, have good battery life (7+ hrs of Bluetooth streaming from phone + 30 min or so of calls), no mechanical defects or signs of where they might wear out and break. Adding one star.
Update: after 11 months of near daily use and abuse, the first pair broke. Right ear speaker is inoperative and the plastic surround is separating into two pieces. Anker honored their warranty and sent a replacement free of charge.
These have become my daily drivers while at home and traveling, taking over for the more expensive Phiaton BT150NCs and RHA MA650s that I don't want to have damaged. I also use Sony WH-1000XM3s on airplanes and as my "reference" headphones set, and now have Sony XB400s also.
With a good deal from a silicone tip or foam comply-style tip, these will definitely dampen noise in the frequency range of speech, blenders, babies crying, etc. Lower frequencies like aircraft cabin wind at jet engine noise, diesel motor rumble will still make it through. Think NRR 15ish or so earplug. Just enough to take the edge off of electric chainsaw whine so I can actually hear my music at reasonable volume while chainsawing, for example...
The sound quality of these is nowhere near the XM3, less than the XB400s, similar to the MA650, but better in most ways to the BT150NCs. Absolutely amazing for the price point really. Very low self noise on the Spirit Pro combined the noise isolation means it's good for people who prefer listening at lower volumes, like I do. Apt X codec selected by phone is good enough sound quality for my favorite music tracks, hearing Duolingo spoken audio, etc.
Pros: Easy pairing, waterproof enough for the shower or full submersion the pool, long playtime, very low self noise or hiss while playing audio, noise isolation, incredibly convenient form factor while in use and around the neck storage.
Cons: micro-usb (use one of those magnetic USB charging cables!), no vibration for calls / notifications, spatialisation of audio meh at best, warm and inaccurate bass below 200hz or so (even with the built in EQ mode on extra bass, music player EQ can usually coax more lows out, but it gets muddy easily), some callers complain about the quality of my mic, especially in windy and high noise environments.

UPDATE 2: Pretty obvious I was sent a returned or refurbished set when I paid for new
UPDATE 2: So, I just lost the right earbud on my set. I am a regular user, so I'd say my use could be a good measure for life expectancy. 6 months of solid use is what can be reasonably expected. I'm a bit disappointed, but can't say they didn't serve me well during those months.I just received these today, Feb 9th, but the tamper seal on the box was sliced. So, they were obviously opened before and the headphones don't have ear pieces on them in the packaging when the packaging has places for them. I haven't charged, or tried them out yet because this is incredibly disappointing at 50 bucks. If I'm getting a return or refurbished set, I expect a corresponding discount. This is my fourth-yes fourth set of anker headphones as the battery is giving out on my soundbuds surge, but this is the most upset I've been with what has felt like a solid company. They might be fine and sound great, and I'll update this later to review the product itself, but until then, disappointed.UPDATE: like others, Anker reached out and sent a replacement set. The replacement set was new and not nearly as disappointing as the first. You've got to give them credit where it's due. If you have a problem with their products, they'll make every effort to make it right.Now, for the audio quality: like others, I can understand their complaints about weak audio. However, I will add that this set has an EQ feature that my previous set did not. My previous set of soundbuds surge does sound better from jump, but also had a dismal battery life when compared with these. So, the sound weakness results in a substantially longer battery. And if one uses the EQ feature, the sound greatly improves. Think of it as "power saver vs. performance mode" in your phone or computer. I use power saver for audiobooks and performance for music. Point being- these may not satisfy an audiophile, but work just fine for my purposes.
