I am so happy I took the risk in getting these shipped to Ireland (Via a friend), it is my first venture into truely wireless earbuds and these don't disappoint. No issues with pairing to my Mighty Audio device or Phone, the sound quality is excellent and the balance is just right to bring the music to life. The bass is perfect and gives enough of a thump to get you in the zone for runs or workouts. The fit is perfect with these, they are lightweight, I didn't have to fix them back into my ear at any stage during any of my workouts and I even forgot I had them in at one stage. (Such a difference from constanly having to adjust my wired headphones). Highly recommended!
This is a great product. They stay in my ears perfectly, better than other in ear buds. They are very light and stay in even while sweaty and running. My frustration is that they tend to drop out, not connect or one side won’t sync or drops out at times. They also only connect to 1 device at a time as to where others can connect 2.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far it works how it’s described but from time to time sound disappears and have to place the right side headphone back in the case. Also it won’t register immediately to my phone. I’ve tried a couple of troubleshoots to make sure it’s not my phone, it does it with all types of phones.
I like the fit a lot, with the fin, they are not going to fall out during a run. sound is good. Features are good. Took off a star for not having a volume adjustment button(s) on them. And the bluetooth pairing is never as easy as it should be.
Bought these as just came out. Love them for running. Great sound. Perfect fit. Listen through technology is neat except for windy day. The mic/s pic up wind noise on breezy day so hard to hear what friend is saying to you. On calm day no issues! Overall love them.
I have just recently purchased a pair of these. I have been testing them out for a few days now.
I will start off by saying my comfort experience was decent. They do stay in your ear very well. However, I did experience quite a bit of fatigue no matter which sizes I tried using.
On to the rest of my review...
The sound quality, in my opinion is horrible. I usually love anything with JBL attached to an audio device. But these, sound too mid level for me. Hardly any bass, and no way to adjust ANYTHING!
Secondly, the audio video sync is also horrible. Most apps, and everything on my PC (I tried multiple BT transmitters) are horribly out of sync. This is probably due to the fact this device only supports BT 4.0 and NOT 5.0. It also has a lot to do with the codecs provided. This is a 2019 product and you only support SBC (super poor quality) and AAC (really only good for Apple products.) Where is the AptX/AptXHD? Or even LDAC support? Not sure why all this was looked over on such a new product, but it is making it lack luster.
Thirdly, the bionic hearing, and amplified hearing are kind of a joke. They lower the volumes at different degrees, but the mic amplification is hardly there. Over boasted features that do not deliver.
Lastly, the case is WAY TO SHALLOW! The earbuds CONSTANTLY catch on the outer casing, and when you put in the large ear pieces it is guaranteed to catch, even at a slow speed.
To wrap it up, I found these a very poor value for the price point.
What would it take to make this product better in my eyes? - Putting on par technology in them. - Give me an app that I can program / adjust my settings the way I want them. I.E. adjust the bass, the volume decrease of the bionic & ambient, adjust the mic increase of the bionic & ambient. - Better product testing on your case dimensions.
Got these a couple of weeks ago and use them all of the time. Great for working out and way more stable than my wife's airpods. Sound quality is very impressive for bluetooth. I highly recommend them.
