Seeing how a comprehensive review of this product is missing I hope I can shed some light on this product to help your buying decision. I will be quite thorough. If you want the short version the title says it all.
I have worn these for 2 weeks prior to this review so here are all of the facts and details.
I have worn these for 2 weeks prior to this review so here are all of the facts and details.
Packaging for the product was very nice and thought out. Once you open them and install the app on your phone you will need to pair them and they pair quit easily. One thing that you might miss is you have to pair the left to the right so you hear stereo sound. That only has to be done once.
Sound and Comfort - Getting the right fit is extremely important to sound quality. I literally tried every combination (18 per ear) to assure the sound was the best possible. And for earbuds they are the best. I own Jaybird X3 and these are better. The sound is fully balanced, however, if i use the silicone ear tips, bass is non- existent. Foam are the way to go for me. I have the smallest ears on the planet and I still manage to wear them without discomfort.

Battery life - I have only worn them for 2.5 hrs before I was either tired of having them in my ears or it was time to do something else. So for me the battery life is over enough. I haven't had a low battery light yet.
Hear Through - These buds have technology to allow you to hear your surroundings while listen to the music. This work great if you know what to expect. I've used this feature in the office, shower, grocery store, and at a basketball game. Push the button and your music is isolated with no sounds around you to be heard. Push the button again and voila you can hear everything around you...well everything you would normally hear at a reasonable volume. If the music is up loud enough it will drown out the surroundings unless your surroundings are loud. So the buds do not amplify the pass through sound. Turning your buds up will only turn up the music. I hope that makes sense. I think that is perfect. So in short if someone would have to yell over music of equal volume in a room then they will have to do the same in this case.
Fit App - The app and heart rate tracker is bar none. Heart rate monitor is as close as you need it to be for a non-medical device. There are plenty of fitness activities to track and if one is not on the list you can create a custom activity. It even tells you if the activity was easy or difficult for you according to a few fitness tests you take with the gear on. This is a personal trainer without the cost.
Oh, I got an update alert on my app and it instructed my to instal and place the earbuds in the case to receive the update. Boom new software wireless to the earbuds. An improved product to match new products on the market. Wow!
Overall, these are exactly what I have been looking for since the first "wireless" Jaybirds came out in 2009. I'm glad they are finally here because it's been a long wait. Get these if you want true wireless earbuds to meet all you your demands. Kanoa really dropped the ball by being late to the party and should hang it up. There is no need for them any longer.
Only con is I wish they were a tad smaller as they barely fit my ears.

Can these headphones be switched from stereo to mono? I want to use primarily one bud at a time but don't want to miss out on the other channel of audio.

What is the battery life on these?
3hr claim on each charge. The case holds 2 extra charges. I have only used then for 2.5hrs consecutively before I removed them to do other things. Never had a low batter warning.
