Although I was pleased with the purchase overall, this drawback has left a sour taste in my mouth about the item. The headphones are aesthetically pleasing, fit well over my ears, and feel great in my hand. There are a ton of features, and the sound is well-balanced for regular headphones. which included the following two that blew my mind: You can hear your surroundings, other people talking, and other noises without taking off your headphones 1 while using the ambient mode feature, and 2 while using the headphone search function. Other drawbacks: in public locations in Hong Kong, such as streets and parks, it is difficult to listen to music on headphones without being constantly disturbed. The case's exterior is very vulnerable to scratches and soon loses its pristine appearance. The headphones are complicated to operate; pausing usually involves touching the earpiece once, but hitting it twice is required here, and even then, it isn't guaranteed to work.
