Note: I agreed to do a review in exchange for keeping the product.I have not used ear buds much. I have found them uncomfortable and prone to falling out. So, I don't have a huge comparison base.That said, these were very good for me in terms of being light and staying in. The sound quality was good and I listened to music with them for 5 hours nearly continuous with only a few short "glitches" that sounded like the Bluetooth connection hiccuping. These instances were less than a second and rare. Nothing ever happened requiring me to reconnect.They charge quickly. I would suspect they can be quite loud. If anything I had to drag the volume to nearly as low as it would go to be comfortable with the volume.Set up, charging and pairing were easy. I had to figure out to take the tiny plastic sliver off each ear bud when I took it out of the case. It might have been nice if that was in the directions since it didn't initially catch my eye before I tried to charge due to being tiny.Noise cancellation seemed to work well enough, but I had no place extremely noisy to test them. On the low volume, I used I could still hear some external noise. But I would have worried to play them any louder. If you want to block out loud external noises, you might only do that if they are on high volume.Cons: At least for me, I had trouble with the tapping function to fast forward, pause etc. Even trying to practice, I had trouble getting the tap pressure and repetition speed to work right. The functions worked, I just often had to repeat to get the commend to "take."For me this won't matter. I will use them when out on walks and having them comfortable and staying in is the main thing.But if you feel you would "go to previous song" or "pause" very frequently, this aspect may frustrate you.Or you might be able to get the muscle memory to get the tapping just right more quickly than I could.
