These buds are very comfortable and sound quite good. However, they are not at all suitable for side-sleeping because the touch controls are often often activated by the pillow touching one of the buds, issuing an annoying BEEP, and doing something unwanted such as powering off, or going into phone answer mode etc. Read more
Whelp, I am disappointed. My dog actually blocked the signal from my TV to the chair. He is a ginormous Border Collie Mix of 50 pounds! The distance from the TV to the chair is 11.5 feet. I tried connecting them with an extra phone I have, I went from the living room to the kitchen and the signal became choppy. The distance between the spaces is a doorway, one wall of separation. Initially when the earbuds are first activated, all of the prompts are in Chinese. Tapping on the upper part a few times changes the verbal queues to English. The pairing was straight forward. The earbuds are able to pair to multiple sources and re-pair without problems. When the sound does come in, it is clear and loud. They just don’t have range. Each ear piece can be used separately to extend battery life. Together they have about 4 hours. The package arrived sealed, 2 earbuds, a charger case and one USB C charger cable, as well as a manual. The writing on the manual is super tiny. (see photos) Bottom line: I do not think these are worth it. While it does fulfill the tiny part of totally fitting comfortably inside the ear canal, (see photo) the quality of the signal strength is just terrible. Do Not Buy. Read more
The idea of these are great! And if they function properly, they are as good as advertised. However, my luck using these has been pretty spotty. The battery life so far is enough for a good 8 hours of sleep, so that hasn't been an issue for me. They connect easily, are decently comfortable, and fit in the ear lightly enough that they work most of the time as a sleep aid. However, they can fall out pretty easily and my biggest problem has been, being a side sleeper, the touch feature being activated by my pillow. There are few things that will rapidly bring you out of a deep sleep than a loud beep in your ears and all-of-a-sudden complete silence after several hours of a sound machine noise in your ears. And once awakened so abruptly, it is VERY difficult to get back to sleep quickly. Also, if you are looking for good sound quality to listen to music, these are NOT the earbuds to get. However, if used for a sound machine for sleep, as long as the touch feature doesn't get activated, they work very well. They also work well to listen to podcasts and spoken word. Read more
Comfortable enough for sleeping, they're also small and unobtrusive. The sound quality is excellent, and the controls are easy to learn, which is important since there are no physical buttons. I haven't used the noise cancellation, as I usually sleep in a quiet room. The battery lasts me at least a few nights. My only wish is for a "lost and found" feature, like a small app or way to trigger a loud beep, so I can find them if they fall out of my ears while sleeping and end up on the floor or in the bed.

I have a mixed experience with these. When I first put them in, the size seemed just right. They fit my ears fairly well and did a great job of staying in place, even when I moved my head around intentionally to see if they would fall out. The weight is light enough that they do not feel bulky at first. However, after wearing them for a while, the comfort level dropped significantly. My ears actually started to hurt to the point where I had to take them out and could not wear them anymore. I can only imagine how my ears would feel the next morning had I been using them to fall asleep and they stayed in my ears all night. My guess is the pain would have most likely woken me up in the middle of the night, which obviously isn't ideal. As far as their design is concerned, I like the way they fit into the case. The earbuds fit securely into the case and are magnetized to prevent them from falling out. Everything (case + earbuds) is incredibly small, and impressively durable. I accidentally put the earbuds through a full cycle in my washing machine because I forgot to check my pockets, and they came out completely unscathed. It is safe to say that these can handle getting wet without any issues. I have also dropped both the case and the earbuds from a decent height without experiencing any problems afterwards as a result. Regarding the audio, I have to admit that I am more of a utility-focused listener than an audiophile. Nonetheless, I found that the sound was clear and more than adequate for my needs. The pairing process was easy and I did not run into any technical glitches while using them. I did not use them long enough for the battery to die, so I cannot comment on the total runtime, but they worked fine for the duration I had them in. While the build quality is clearly high, the long term fit makes them difficult for me to use for extended periods, which defeats their whole purpose. Had they not hurt my ears as much as they did, this would have easily been a 5-star review. Read more
I really like these. I have always struggled with wearing traditional earbuds to sleep, they either fall out or the touch feature would activated and turn the volume up so loud I'd be woken up in the middle of the night. The shape of these makes them super comfortable and the touch feature require deliberate activation. No more blasting audio books into my ears at max volume because I rested my head on my hand while sleeping. I tried these under my motorcycle helmet thinking they would be nice because they don't cancel out the surrounding noise, they however were not loud enough to hear over the engine except at max volume. Not what they were intended for but anecdotal info I gathered. charging is fast and the battery last through the night and into my morning routine nicely, I have not ran them flat during that 9.5 hour period. The case is nice and has an indicator light for when it is charging and when it is fully charged. Read more
