Where’s the Noise?
Just tried these on today and they were very easy to setup with my iPhone, but what I was really excited to try was the "Active" noise cancelling function, which actually worked amazingly. I had my fan about 8 ft in front of me, and when I switched on the noise cancelling function, I couldn't hear it at all and there was a distinct change in ambient noise, listened to some music and they were awesome :-D For the price, these aren't too bad at all ;-) They fit pretty comfortably in my ears and there are additional ear pieces to interchange for your fittings :-P

Better than my Bose!
EDIT (11/29/18): Now that it's been 3 months since I purchased these, I thought I may update with more information. I still really love these and brag on them to my friends. But, let's talk about sound quality, battery life, bluetooth connectivity, comfort, and durability:SOUND QUALITY: 8.5/10I am very happy with the sound quality of these headphones. The noise canceling is amazing and the volume is great. They allow me to focus in my school's computer science lounge which is saying a lot, those kids can get loud and rowdy (unexpected, I know). Another thing I was looking forward to testing with these is the noise canceling on an airplane. Personally, I have a hard time relaxing while on a plane because of the constant noise of the air outside rushing past (it's a sensory thing I guess). After turning on the noise canceling while flying, I almost immediately fell asleep which NEVER happens for me. I was thrilled that these allowed me to drown out the noise! But keep in mind that I bought them at $40 and I see they've gone up quite significantly since then. For the current price of $85, I would be a bit less satisfied than I am now. They sound clear and smooth, with better bass than my old Bose. They are just fine for me but I can recognize that they aren't *super* high quality. If you are an audiophile/one of those people that gets really into the sound balance of their music, these may not be too impressive.BATTERY LIFE: 6/10I have timed it on 3 separate occasions and it lasts about 4 hours WITHOUT the noise canceling on, even less with. This isn't a problem for me because I am a student and am constantly at my computer so I can charge them while I use them. If I was someone who ran errands a lot, was more active outdoors, or just generally not as "plugged in" as an engineering student may be, it would be quite irritating.BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY: 6/10The bluetooth connectivity could be better. When just standing or sitting it is fine, as well as if you are holding your phone and walking. But if you put it in your back pocket or in a bag it can occasionally have trouble, almost sounding like a CD skipping. Which is odd, considering I can leave my phone on my kitchen counter and walk to my room and it is just fine. The skipping almost exclusively occurs on campus and I wonder if other people's devices interfere, or if being surrounded by the tall buildings plays a part. Again, this is very minor for me since I usually connect them to my computer when I'm using them.COMFORT: 9/10I absolutely love the fit of these. The shape of the rubber insert is perfect to keep them in your ears, and they are very lightweight so you barely notice the cable on your shoulders. I have used these while riding my horses and they have never fallen out. Personally, the shape of the Apple earbuds have always been painful, earbuds like Skullcandy never stay in, and I avoided the over-the-ear brands due to some new cartilage piercings I got in my forward helix. I'm super happy with the design.DURABILITY: 7/10The left earbud has begun to have very sporadic, but infrequent, staticky sound issues. They usually only last 1-3 seconds and happen once every 1-2 days. I'm sad that it happens but it doesn't bother me enough to spend more money on a nicer pair. I will admit that I usually just put them in a small side pocket of my backpack with my pens & pencils and I should be using the small carrying bag that came in the box to store them. I feel partly responsible for the damage to the earbud, buuuuut I accidentally ran my old Bose earbuds through the washing machine (never dryer) more than once and they were absolute troopers, which is why I gave these a 7. Another thing I found odd is that when something presses against the outside of the earbud (example: dozing off on an airplane and you're resting your head on your travel pillow) the ambient noise is readily transferred into your ear and is annoying.OVERALL: 7.3/10Ultimately, these headphones are just right for someone like me, a student on a budget. Great for loud atmospheres, work, studying, letting people at the gym know you don't want to talk, working out with, etc. Maybe not so great if you are not always near a power source or if you are hard on your things. Best of luck!————— ORIGINAL REVIEW —————(09/09/18) I just got these in last night so I’m not the best expert when it comes to longevity, but I am absolutely in love with the sound. This is my first pair of earbuds with bluetooth & noise canceling features and I’m never going back!!! I previously only owned Bose SoundSport earbuds (given to me as a gift some years ago). When they finally broke I was dreading finding a replacement because earbuds have gotten so expensive. Let me just say that these are fantastic, especially for the price. I’m hearing details of my favorite songs that I never heard with my Bose earbuds. I’m currently sitting in a physics lecture, 4 rows from the front, and I can’t hear any of my classmates or my professor and I’m only on 1/3 volume! 10/10 would recommend. Now time to get back to class...

Good, cheap, comfortable
Had this earbuds for a couple or so months now and they are good set for cheap earbuds (I got them for like $45 when they first came out. Now I think they’re like $80+. Soo just be aware, I’ll review them for the price I paid)They are very comfy and I could wear them all day and listen to music/ podcast/ etc with it. Except battery doesn’t last long as advertised. I think they said it last about 6 hours but not sure if that’s only straight listening without the ANC feature or with but regardless, this earbuds only last for about a few hours of straight music listening with out ANC even. Which didn’t matter to me coz it takes about 1 hour for it to charge and I just take it as a break for my eardrums. The ANC is pretty darn good if you ask me, I work at a car shop and it gets pretty loud with impact tools and hammering and this does a pretty good job for earbuds. Especially when I drive my car and it has a decent noisy exhaust and when I turn the ANC on I could hardly hear it or the road noise. The only thing I found out tho is that if you blow on the mic while the ANCis on then it gets really really staticky loud noise and that ish hurts. And after a while maybe a month into owning it, it would randomly make loud static noise and that hurts too, figure it’s the cheap wires getting worn out and causing electro short on the speakers. Also comes with a charging cable and if you lose that then might as well throw the buds away because there’s no other way of charging it again (unless someone figured out a different way and/or maybe there is a cable you can buy on its on. But I honestly don’t think that’s worth it, unless they’re like a buck or two)Anyway,. Maybe my working environment was too harsh for these ear phones that’s why they wore out quick, plus I also touch the buttons with slightly oily hands but I honestly thing they weren’t enough to get into the chips of the buds.. but I’ll give it credit because I would definitely want one for a normal use and maybe baby it, maybe it’ll last better.ANC is great, don’t compare it to a $300 bose. Very comfy. Sound is good. Oh, yeah don’t use this for calls because IT SUUUCKS. With or without ANC.

Stopped working at 2mo, Short Press Skips- not Volume.
Second pair lasted from October 10th to Jan 6. Very frustrating. I purchased the tradesquare warranty and tried to claim but they sent me back to manufacturer to deal with. Unfortunately, the "return" window closed. I really wanted to like them, but I'm tired of dealing with these.Previous review below:EDIT: the company has excellent customer service, I will revise once I see the new ones won't break after a couple of months (10/10). Received earbuds stopped working today, 10/4. Barely two months in and they won't even turn on or light up. They we're decent while they worked but if you ever lost the charger, you would have to purchase theirs, a unique magnetic type. The noise cancellation sounded like static and I didn't care for it. Battery life was okay, not the best I've seen. Also, I really don't like that for the volume you have to press and hold whereas short press changes the song. I end up holding for a second too long or too short and can never get it just right. It's much better if the short press was volume and long press was skip song. I intend on contacting the company, however, Amazon provides a service call or whatever... Only available during the day. I don't need help troubleshooting... they are broke. For the $40, I had higher hopes. Bummer.
