My search is over, these Ear buds have everything I could hope for.Noise canceling, True ANC! Not just ENC. and very high fidelity, and with the app total customization to optimize the personal experience.The fit is very comfortable, with the over the ear part being adjustable, again optimizing the personal experience. They stay put because of the over the ear piece, and yet the clever design is minimal (not bulky) which translates to comfort.I’m not into fashion as much as functionality, but they offer a range of colors and I got emerald green and well I do like the color.I’m hard on stuff and will probably loose this set or damage them in a washing machine. If that happens I will replace them with the same.

I honestly am blown away by these headphones for the price! I would consider myself an audiophile but I'm newer to the concept of proper headphones for exercising. I usually just use the same headphones for every activity. I spent hours doing my research on earbuds for exercise- I needed something for weightlifting, running, and boxing. Google Pixel Buds fall out of my ears when I lay down, get loose when running, and get knocked out of my ear when I block with heavy gloves- so they were driving me crazy. I was worried about the Beats Fit Pro wingtip being uncomfortable for my ears for the price. Much of my research on exercise buds ended up suggesting that compromises had to be made: price for sound quality, or sound quality for comfort. I found these headphones that checked every box I was looking for: comfort, ANC, stability, sound quality, and price.These earbuds are amazing. They were so comfortable and light the entire duration of my first 3-mile run with them, never became loose and the sound quality was never compromised by the sweat. The app allows you to customize the sound quality and level to your preference. It also has this frequency sound test which I really loved because I have some ear damage from the military so I have to be careful with earbuds. The frequency sound test made me feel more confident that I wasn't damaging my ears even more. So in summary, the app lets you customize to your healthy frequency ranges AND your EQ sound preferences. The noise cancellation is not as isolating as Google Pixel Buds- but the app also has this 3D sound setting that makes the sound experience totally immersive so it ends up being just as good. And by any means, the noise cancellation is not bad- it's actually very good!I absolutely love these buds, they were perfect for my needs and worth every cent.

These buds have the 2 essential characteristics of a good sport/workout set of buds.First, they have physical buttons, which is a must for me. If you have ever run for a bunch of miles and have sweaty hands and then use a touch sensitive volume up control, you might appreciate this as I do. Nothing worse than sweat staying on the control and the volume just continuously raisin until you are forced to pull out the buds.Second, they have ear loops to keep them in place. Another bit of experience from running or working out when they begin to fall out because your ear is getting sweaty and you are trying to dry your ear and the bud tips so they stay in.Other than the basics I look for, these sound plenty fine and I am happy with them. The equalizer is really to dial in the sound you are looking for, but they have plenty of presets you can choose from. The software is well designed and easy to work with. No problems connecting at all.Though this set is for working out, I did check the latency with my laptop. For my use, the latency of these buds was okay with the laptop. It was not fantastic and there was some very slight noticeable delay in the lip syncing, but in a pinch I could live with these, but they would not be a primary device for that purpose.Lastly, the price is overall fair for the overall quality of the buds.However, a couple of comments and/or things I am not fond of.Despite having physical buttons, I have a hard time indexing where they are. I know where they are, but when I put my finger on them It does not feel like a button is there. I also have big fingers, so I might just have an issue most others don't. I am not sure. I would have preferred them on the outside of the bud where the logo is like many other brands.Also related to the buttons and software, especially on my right bud, when you set something to the double button click (like next track), there is not double click tolerance. For me, I have to have the perfect rhythm to get the double clicks to work. It can't be click click or click pause pause click. It has to be a perfect click pause click. Otherwise it most often just pause the music and I am wondering if it is going to the next track. This is probably my biggest gripe with these buds and it is annoying. I am hoping that they will fix this tolerance in an update or that I innately know the pattern with practice.My other gripe is that the cycling of the ANC, Normal and Transparency modes seems to only be allowed with the long press action (could be double click too, but I did not check that). Why is that?So my preferred set up which is from using other buds in the past is this (L bud = Left bud, R bud = Right bud)Single click (R bud) - Pause/playDouble click (L bud) - Replay song (previous track)Double click (R bud) - Next songLong Press (L bud) - Volume down (wish press to hold would keep lowering, but that is another issue)Long Press (R bud) - Volume upWhy can't I use the Single click (L bud) to cycle through the ANC, Normal and Transparency?????? I would really like the option to use those features on the fly. However, what do I use for volume then? I like the ability to replay a song and since I have hundreds, every now and then I want to hear one again since it might not come up for a long time. Do I remove the next track? That stinks because sometimes you are not in the mood for a particular song at that time. I could stagger the controls and make the previous track the Single click (L bud), Volume down double click (L bud) and then use the mode switcher for long press L Bud, but that really messes me up just thinking that the left and right controls are not lining up well.So I don't know why the set it up like that and I hope that they would fix that too. It is just sad to not use that functionality that could be useful because I don't want to give up other controls that I think are just a little more needed.These should be 5 star buds and in most respects they are. I can live with the button placement and I will get used to that. However, the double click timing bug (yes it is a bug to me) and the inability to 100% arrange the controls as I want them and lose functionality that I could use, only makes these truly a 4 star product.
