Does the job, just won't blow you away

Functionally, there's nothing special about these headphones. As you would expect, they simply connect via BT. I've used them with both my phone and a Windows 10 workstation. Communication was solid when paired with the phone. Windows has intermittent connection problems. Each time this happened the sound would cut out for a beat or two and then come back. I don't think it's a problem with the headphones, it could be Windows or the BT signal from my antenna. They're clearly aiming for the look and feel of Beats headphones, and some might be fooled at first glance. In terms of sound quality, however, they are flat with minimal bass presence. Make sure you put them in your ears correctly as this will affect the sound quality. You can try different angles and find the one that offers the best sound quality for your physiology. They are advertised as waterproof, which I tested in running water by soaking them completely and then listening to music. Zero problems due to the presence of water. Another feature is CVC noise cancellation. I can't vouch for that as I didn't notice any difference in its ability to cancel out ambient noise. They don't even work as well as noise isolation as they tend not to sit securely in my ear canals (I've tried other sizes of ear tips). They stay on your ears due to the hooks that wrap around your ears. Judging by the price, they're meant to be carefree, everyday hearing aids for your indoor exercises, which is what they excel at. They're not for the audiophile, and at this price point, that's an unreasonable expectation. I recommend them for the stated purpose. A curious usability note is that when you open the clamshell case/charger (so the charging LED is on the top right), the right earbud is on the left and the left earbud is on the right (see image). This leads to poor user experience and is not an ideal design.
