Good deal!

I got two pairs and they both work. The EQ works well with my phone and they do exactly as said. If you do not like over the ear headphones don't buy these! They do squish the ears considerably but I get used to it and they stay on during rides and runs.
I received the headphones a few days ago. What I like: 1. Sound is very good in Bass Boost mode, the other 2 modes may be good for podcasts, talk radio, etc. 2. Very lightweight and comfortable (no extended listening sessions yet, though). 3. Easy to pair with my Pixel 6a. What I do not like: 1. Recharging - somewhat tricky (the first few tries) with attaching micro USB cable, must use the provided micro USB cable or a similar profile connector, anything that is thicker near the metal contact portion will not fit. I thought I was going to break something during the first several attempts. 2. Although the single button for all functions make for a simple design, I found toggling between the sound modes (3 clicks of the button), difficult to achieve at first. The rate at which I click has to be somewhat fast, otherwise "Google Assist" (2 clicks) is announced loudly in my ears! 3. The volume needed on my Pixel 6a to achieve a sound level that I like for music is relatively high, easily above the midpoint of volume bar (and above what is needed for my wireless earbuds, in comparison). Overall, a solid product for the price.
Honestly I thought the sound was going to sound like the old school 90’s headphones but the sound on these are amazing and comfortable it’s hard for me to wear headphones because I wear gauges but I could literally wear them all day
Love: the orange cushions, the look, comfort level, ability to stay on while exercising, the ability to still hear loud sounds outside and hear my music, Bluetooth, simple design, the fact that they give u 2 sets of foam covers. What’s missing: volume control on the headphones themselves, microphone is too low quality to use, the replacement foam is never in stock and as the foam covers age they tend to slip off more easily. Also I can’t find any other sites with replacement covers that fit these. Would love if the re-design focuses more on listening functionality (volume buttons) over microphone, and they stock more replacement foams (ideally in even more colors!) or change the size so you can put yaxi pads on there
