These are good headphones but beware of a few quirks (based on my experience with the iPhone 7 Plus): 1 ) Initial Bluetooth pairing is easy, but typically when you turn on your headphones, they don't automatically connect to your phone. Just going into settings and connecting manually is enough, but a bit cumbersome. 2) There were numerous periods where the headphones would turn off (gaps in the music). I'm not sure what's really going on here, it doesn't correlate well with distance. In fact today I was at the gym and forgot my phone, ran 50 feet and the music never stopped. At other times it can be at arm's length and becomes volatile. It seems to have more to do with the change in distance (but I could make it up). So if that really bothers you, don't get these headphones. The sound quality is good, if not buggy. The battery life is good - so far I can work for five days and then recharge. It shows the battery status when you turn it on, so a useful recharge reminder. Edit: A few months later. I'm increasing my rating to 5 stars for the following reasons: (1) I use them every time I go to the gym. to listen to podcasts. It is very stable and connects to my phone instantly. (2) Better sound quality than workout music or podcasts. (3) I don't have frequent Bluetooth dropouts at all. I don't know if any Apple update helped here (my phone sometimes froze when connected to the car stereo but it doesn't happen anymore), but these headphones have been reliable for the past two full months. (4) Battery life. pretty good. And every time you turn them on, you'll get a battery status. I charge them after 6 or 7 hours of training. YMMV.
