Excited too get these! I've been using Samsung ear buds, all of them, and it was time for a change - hopefully a good decision. One thing I like about Samsung is that you can turn in a device for an upgrade at a super great price. Maybe Sony good do the same where if I could trade up from these to a different pair or qualified device, that would be competitive. Wouldn't that give consumers like me an edge? It would.

I bought these earphones in may of 2023, and while I do use them daily, I rarely use them for hours upon hours on end. I don't overcharge them either. I'm not the type of person that drops their devices, and yet, I'm experiencing a degrade in quality that is awfully hard to ignore. They have been running our of battery in under two hours, which is frankly the most use I'd give them in a whole 24 hr period. Genuinely devastated because the sound and noise control are great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
