Review on Cleer Audio Ally Plus: Cutting-edge True Wireless Hybrid Noise Cancelling Earbuds with 30-Hour Battery Life, Water Resistance, and Crystal-clear Music & Call Quality in Warm Grey by Andrea Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Almost very nice. But there is one major deal breaker.

They look nice and mostly work well. Unfortunately, it's very easy (when trying to adjust the volume) to switch between different automatic noise-cancelling modes incorrectly (just 1 tap) when you're actually trying to increase or decrease the volume by sliding your finger over the Swipe the surface of the headphones (the volume control is a much more commonly used command). Then, to add insult to injury, you have to go through a few extra cycles to turn off the automatic noise cancellation, and each lets you hear a pre-recorded commercial before you can hit a button to get past it. In short, volume control is problematic, often resulting in adjusting other noise modes that you didn't mean to adjust, then taking a while to return to those modes to get back to the original headphone state. The headphones are very cool in terms of aesthetics, comfort and battery life. I would encourage manufacturers to reconsider and reconfigure the problem I developed. I'm also a big fan of the warm gray option.
