Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

In general, satisfied with the purchase.
as a universal device, with a primary use as a telephone headset (for which I bought them), this is, in aggregate, the best choice (with good characteristics here and there, although not everywhere above average), and the comfort from the sophistication of all types pairing the ears with sources pleases so much that the main seemingly fundamental shortcomings (insufficient sound quality during playback, insufficient noise absorption) are not so critical.

For targeted listening to music, I would still recommend other headphones from professional audio manufacturers, and for conversations in noisy rooms, alas, nothing better than the old bose bluetooth headset2 was invented (even the new QC Earbuds are not so good). but if the demands on sound quality in music are not ultra high (if there is no hi-end equipment at home, and not even true hi-fi), then they are quite suitable for music too.

Pros

as a headset for pairing with Apple technology - nothing better, alas, no. a qualitatively different level of pairing: after pairing with the phone, it automatically hooked up to the laptop and to the second phone. Special thanks deserve the opportunity to use BOTH headphones separately for a conversation - you can talk on one earphone, and when the charge in it runs out, switch (without losing the connection!) To the second one, and return the first one to the box to charge. It turns out an almost infinite battery supply: The quality of communication during a call is very high. On par with the best (and most expensive) alternatives. True, only in a quiet room: when you are in a noisy place (on the street, in a car with an open window, next to a construction site, etc.), the interlocutor hears more noise than you. Active noise canceling microphone - not ah. The version I bought - spray-painted (made somewhere along the road from the manufacturer to the buyer) - and headphones and a charging box. The painting is quite high quality, there are no complaints about the quality of the painting. It does not look as hackneyed as the standard apple's "white sticks". Is that the ear pads remain white, and the inside of the box. This creates a bit of a look. But the reasons for this are clear.

Cons

1. The quality of music playback - alas, still in the top three, albeit with a plus (compared to the non-pro version). However, I did not expect audiophile playback quality from Apple headphones - and, alas, the miracle did not happen. 2. Noise cancellation of the microphone is also average. In the car, on the street and just in a noisy place, the quality of communication for the interlocutor deteriorates sharply. Other headphones with ANC do it better: the same Bose provides significantly better absorption of external noise, like many others. Even unpretentious Motorola VerveOne keep a useful signal, cutting off noise, better. But other shortcomings of each of the alternative models offset this advantage. 3. as already mentioned above, powder coating of the headphones is incomplete. and despite the objective need to keep certain elements of the headphones unpainted (ear pads, the inside of the charging box) - it still looks a little collective. you have to wait until apple makes the original version in other colors. then it will make sense.
