Main Product Advantages

9 Sweat and Water Resistance
Designed to be impervious to sweat, these earbuds are well-suited for heavy workouts and outdoor activities without compromising functionality.
8 Sound Quality
Known for delivering balanced sound with enough bass without overwhelming other frequencies, although some users found the sound quality slightly warm or trebly compared to other models.
8 Touch Controls
Touch-sensitive controls facilitate easy music playback control without needing to pull out your phone, including double-tap features for track navigation and volume control via swipe gestures.
8 Battery Life
These earbuds offer a robust battery life suited for extended workout sessions, supplemented by a case that charges the earbuds continuously, though some minor charging and syncing issues are noted.
8 Automatic Features
Automatic detection of earbud placement for play/pause and call handling is highly appreciated, adding to the convenience of use.
8 Design and Build Quality
Users praise the build quality and the premium feel of the earbuds, though the reliance on the charging case for powering down is seen as a drawback.
7 Call and Microphone Quality
While the call quality is generally praised, making clear calls, the microphones struggle in environments with wind or high background noise, limiting their usability during certain activities like biking.
7 Bluetooth Connectivity
While generally reliable, connection issues and a dependency on the Bose app for optimal functionality are a concern for some users.
7 No Noise Cancelling
The absence of Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is compensated by noise isolation provided by the earbud design, which some users prefer for situational awareness during workouts.
