Jack S
When I'm on the go, at work, or just casually listening around the house these have been my go to headphones for a variety of reasons.
Sound: They sound just fine. Not great, but not so bad that its too bad to listen to your favorite songs. I use Sennheiser HD600s at my desk and these are no where close but for a cheap set of bluetooth headphones they are totally passable. I normally listen around half volume which is plenty loud at least for me. Full volume is painful, I see other reviewers complaining about the battery life at full volume and I have to wonder what their hearing is like.
Battery: These will get me though a 12 hour shift, admittedly not listening to music the whole time and through a few hours of YouTube or TV when I get home. They charge extremely quickly too when the battery gets low. If I forget to charge them over night I can throw them on the charger for a few minutes at work and be fine for the rest of the day. The USB C port is annoying, I have an iPhone so I have to have two cables, but I also carry a USB C external SSD so I just use the cable from that with my laptop.
Noise isolation: These things SHINE at passive noise isolation. Its like you have reusable earplugs in that just happen to have drivers. I work on cars a lot and work in a machine shop, so hearing protection is something I need to be wearing most of the time and something I want to have easy access to at all times. If I don't have my beats in my ears they're around my neck almost all day so if I'm about to do something I think will be loud, blowing out a hole with an air hose for example, I can throw them in my ears in seconds and have a decent level of protection. I wouldn't use these at a gun range but for me on a daily use basis they work great.
Fit and comfort: When I'm running or working under a car the neck part likes to fall off. To get around this i put the headphones on upside down, with the usb port facing up, and then cross the ear bud cords in front of my neck so they still go in their respective ears. This is not how I normally wear them but it does work if I find myself in that situation. I had a set of airpods and they kept falling out of my ears, I switched back to these tethered style earbuds after one of my airpods fell out of my ears into a coolant tank. These stay in all day no problems because the majority of the weight is around your neck and not hanging out of your ears.
Only part I dislike is the magnet in the buds, It attracts metal and gets stuck to stuff if you lean over. I don't think they're necessary but that's a monitor complaint.
