Works great with some issues

So I've had them for a few weeks now. To be honest I think they are worth the money you spend on them. Pros: - Noise canceling: I work in construction and they make great earbuds. I will use them as earplugs without music or anything just because they are effective at reducing noise. Due to the sound reduction, I am only at about 15% volume and can hear clearly. If I turn it up even more, all I hear is my tunes and the loudest noises. - Audio Passthrough: cool feature: if you press and hold the power button for 3 seconds, it activates the audio passthrough mode, which sends the sounds that the microphone hears directly to your ears, so if I have a quiet colleague, can i turn around on and i can hear them like i have no audio interference. - Waterproof: I have tested the waterproofing of the headphones and can confirm that it works. - Distance: They work quite a distance from your phone, but there are other things I'll touch on. - Long battery life: I bought it about 2-3 weeks ago but the case hasn't been charged yet and it hasn't glowed red. Everyone. Very happy with it. Cons: - The buttons are tiny: they're really small, which wouldn't be such a big problem if they didn't also require so much pressure to actually press the buttons. It can actually be quite inconvenient to press the buttons to pause and play music. I don't even try to adjust the volume through the headset. I prefer to take out my phone and use the volume control on it instead. I can understand the reasoning that you don't want accidental key presses, but I suppose the only things that can do is hit the head, or maybe put your head on it. No one wants to get hit on the head so that's not a problem and secondly they are NOT getting a signal on them. - Signal strength: This is strange. Therefore, they work at a considerable distance from your phone, but they do not work when lightly covered by skin or even by your ears. I mean if I put my hand to my ear in a free position it loses the signal. I lost the signal after a shower with the back of my head resting on a pillow. The pillow was pushing my ears slightly forward blocking any signal and they kept turning off. But it seems to work fine when not blocked by anything (most of the time. There are still random drops here and there, but not very often). not a brainer, but yeah it's a shame they just don't. But you can use it pretty quickly. So it's hard for me to complain too much about them, I just charge them regularly during breaks when not in use. - Do not auto-off while in case: So when I put these headphones in the case, I expect them to turn off and on again. But it doesn't do what I think is stupid, but not really a problem as you just have to press and hold the power button for 7 seconds and they both turn off together. But I know it doesn't turn off in that case because the Bluetooth tells my phone it's still connected. Conclusion: I bought them as work clothes and they work wonders for that. The sound quality is decent, but not very bass-heavy. Blocks sound good. Waterproof. Long battery life. Yeah, I mean, that's all I could hope for. Comfort is so-so. They also have a pretty powerful microphone so people can hear you and everything around you very well. If I were to lose this pair I would replace them with the exact same ones as soon as possible. They treat me well with some problems.
