I will never where another

I will never where another type of earphone. Where this really stands out is, I can work and still be aware of my surroundings. Taking care of kiddos you come to learn that when you hear the yelling, scrambling an wrestling all is good. But when everything goes silent something got broke,someone is hurt, or they are up to some mischief! So being able to listen out is life changing and any way I can always just get earplugs in the chance I get to escape.I Love the headphone quality, warranties and comfort A+
Sound is good for listening to music and podcasts, but the sound for phone calls is tinny and volume is quite low. Track controls being located on the play/pause button seems more difficult than using the volume rocker for FF and RW. Battery life is okay.
Overall it does what I need it do most of the time but disappointed that I can’t use it for phone calls
These are not sweatproof, as claimed. I have had two of these units fail at the one year mark, following moderate 2-3 day per week use, for running, cycling, rowing. Never submerged, never used in vicinity of saltwater. Both units have failed by failure of the on/off/+vol button. I both instances, on opening the device, there is severe internal corrosion of that button. The adjacent -vol button is not visibly affected. I've concluded that there must be a weak spot in the case that allows sweat to invade around that button. I am a relatively "heavy sweater", so my experience may be at one end of the range. Nonetheless, two units failed each at about the same time (1yr), and each by the same mechanism. These are not sweatproof, as the description claims. I would post a photo of the postmortem, but can't see an option for posting images. Prior to failure, they worked as advertised.
