Good quality for its price!

This is my first pair of Earbuds from Audio Technica. I am absolutely surprised by its heavy bass and sound quality! They are comfortable and fit in my ear well. Just hope that the Treble and mid can be more clear. Get these if you like heavy bass. These are the best ones on the market right now under $200! But if you want to restart/reset the earbuds you will have to put them back to the case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

do research on actual tech rating sites

Giving these 5 stars to help balance the absolutely classic customer review bombs on these earbuds. Aside from the off chance you get a bad model. I use a lot of different earbuds and have over the years as a very active person. They're sturdy, the range is quite good, they ACTUALLY have a button for my more active running enthusiasts ( rather than an annoying over responsive touch), look sleek, hold a charge well with a good sound. If you're more curious look at reviews on a real tech rating site. These reviews are left by people who just need to vent without any thought into the ACTUAL product.

Right Earbud DOA
on January 31, 2023

Bought these from the Waterloo location near Conestoga Mall and took them home. Let them charge for a couple hours and when I tested them the right earbud was completely unresponsive. No audio, no LED light to indicate it was on, no light to indicate it was charging when placed back in the charging case. Just dead. Returned them same day and paid the difference for Airpods. Generally Audio-Technica is a company I trust. I've been using their ATH-M50X headphones for years. Best sound profile I've ever heard out of a pair of headphones. But these wireless earbuds clearly have some quality control issues and/or some design flaws. Spend your money elsewhere.

The worst Bluetooth headphones I've ever used.

If you enjoy constantly having to take your headphones out, constantly to put them back into the case, and then put them back in, these are the headphones for you.
The Bluetooth sucks, plain and simple. It is infuriating when seemingly out of nowhere one of the earbuds will just disconnect for no reason whatsoever, or only one will connect after removing them from the case so you'll have to repeat the process of putting them back in the case and removing them again until they both pair.
40$ skull candy headphones have better Bluetooth.

Terrible software
on December 27, 2022

Pros: - Heavy bass, as if you are wearing headphones.
- 12 hour battery.
Cons: - Worst software I've ever seen. Taking them out of the case won't automatically connect it to your device. Worse even, holding the multifunction buttons won't turn them on like they're supposed to. You need to put them back in the case and take it out again to reset the whole thing (according to the manual, this is the equivalent to turning it on and off again since there's no actual "reset" function unlike other earbuds)
- Right earbud broke within 6 months, to have them repair it requires me to cover the $20 shipping to the US just to have it checked.
- Sound quality is mediocre, like $20 earbud bad.
- Extremely large, sticks out of your ears.
- Notoriously poor fit for people from my research, but worked for me. Only slight discomfort after prolonged use.
- IPX2, second lowest water resistance rating. Be afraid to take these out in the rain.

Earbuds too big

They are too big for my small ears. Might be comfortable for someone with big ears.

Best Bluetooth headphones @ this price!!!

I bought these brand new. I only feel comfortable wearing wireless in-ear headphones for all my private music/podcast listening. I will not settle for just any "gets the job done" pair of headphones. THESE are 100 % better than the Sennheiser ones (yes I tried them first because I own over-ear Sennheiser headphones that I love, and I know Sennheiser puts priority on sound quality - they were trash).
These offer louder max volume setting, have more bass, and longer battery life than any other headphones I've tried for this price.
Some say you have to put the ear bud in and out of the case if you are having sync issues-I've had that issue with the older model but these have yet to fail at an immediate connection to my phone or laptop.
It is impossible not to get hyped when you put these on with your favourite playlist. I can't recommend these enough.
Quick related note - whenever I had a issue with my older model (because I bought them refurbished) I contacted audio technica directly and they replaced them after not being able to repair them. FREE OF CHARGE. A+ company.
