Best sound quality at a great price

This was my third wireless headphone I've tried and I'm happy with it. Outstanding sound quality! Deep bass but also emphasis on high frequencies, making them fairly balanced. The sound is also very clear and sharp. I prefer their Bose Soundsport Wireless for sound quality comparison. They also do a pretty good job of minimizing the noise that is audible in all Bluetooth headphones/headsets, which is nice. The included memory foam ear tips are essential for improving sound quality and it's nice to have multiple sizes included. The battery life is also excellent based on my previous usage. I listened all day at work which was almost 7 hours with several breaks in between. The only downsides are: 1) The packaging they come in is ridiculously tight. I almost broke the left earbud trying to get it out of the foam block it was in. 2) The microphone sucks. I only use them for listening and don't answer calls because they are very bad. But I didn't buy them for that, so it doesn't really matter. 3) It's very hard to tell which button on the mic you're pressing to pause and skip. The button labels could be raised a bit to help. Overall, this is one of the best values currently available for budget wireless headphones with high-fidelity sound. Even on a budget, I'd probably still buy them as potential sound improvements beyond what they offer are negligible for this type of product.
