I got these many years ago as a gift from my mom who didn't know a thing about buying wireless ear buds, she just got them because they seemed reasonably priced. First things first, they last forever, the battery life is outrageous. I've gone too long without charging and they still work for over a month with daily use. I think I've had these earbuds for at least 5 years and they still work as well as they did on day one. They sound remarkable! They are durable and can't be broken, they are like old technology that was built to last. So my points are for battery, longevity, sound, durability and they look like Air pods. My friend mistook them for air pods and I had to tell her she was wrong. I literally couldn't recommend these more. I love my Soundmates. I probably will have mine for another 5 years because that's the sort of product this is.
