I've been using wireless earbuds to listen to true crime podcasts at work for quite a few years. I have sensitive ears, so the type of earbud that you just shove into your ear canal doesn't work for me; they hurt my ears. I was finally able to settle on a neckband, with small molded buds that nestle in the outer part of the ear, pointed into the canal. I used soft silicone ear tips that hooked into the upper part of my ear, and they were pretty comfy. However, the neckband was silicone connected to hard plastic, and after a while of putting them on and taking them off, the silicone breaks away from the hard plastic, and while the sound is fine, the earbuds just fall apart. I had three or four of the same neckands, and I finally just got fed up and started looking for something different.Initially, neckband batteries lasted longer than individual earbuds, but now that's not necessarily the case. The problem for me was finding molded earbuds small enough to not hurt my ears.So I found these and decided to give them a try, and I'm very glad I did. They have a silicone piece that hooks over the ear, and the speaker lies up against the outer ear, with four different positions for adjustment.I need a few things with my work earbuds:1. Battery life. I start my day at 7:30 am, and around 3:30 pm, I get a sound notifying me that the battery is at 20%. I only wear one at a time because I'm at work, and I don't want to be completely shut off from my coworkers should they need to speak to me. If, for some reason, the one bud dies, I can switch to the other one, which is still in the case and charged.2. Multipoint connection. I have these connected to my tablet, which is how I listen to podcasts, and my cell phone at the same time, so if I get a phone call, it automatically disconnects from the tablet and switches to my ringing phone.3. Range. I get up from my desk and move around the office, and I've had some earbuds that wouldn't stay connected at as little as 15 feet away. I experimented once with these, and I would say that at approximately 70 feet away from my tablet, around a corner, they started breaking up a bit. That is, by far, the longest range I've ever come across. I also have a restroom that's maybe 30 or 40 feet away with a thick wall separating it from my devices, and they stay connected.4. Comfort. Once or twice a day, I need to pull the speaker away from my ear for a few seconds because it gets a tiny bit achy, but comparatively, they are comfortable.Bonus: with other earbuds, if I stay out of range for too long, I often have to reconnect when I get back in range. With these, they will automatically reconnect.There's an app that can be used; you can customize the sound and set functions. For instance, you can set the volume to increase or decrease with one tap or two taps, etc.When the battery is low, you can just put them back in the case and they'll charge up again, even without the case being plugged in.I'm very happy that I found these!

First off, I am not an audiophile. I was not in the market for achieving the best possible sound quality when listening to music or other audio content while mowing my yard. I finally broke down after years of telling myself, "I bet mowing would be less of a chore if you were listening to something as you mowed." These little headphones are good for me. And I was right, mowing is less of a chore now with headphones.Why I chose them is simple -price, who made them, and previous reviews. Currently prime days are going on, and these headphones are cheaper than what I paid less than a week ago. I'm not upset I paid more because they are worth it in my opinion. Amazon's return policy is great if you try them and disagree. Anker is a brand I've seen many times with sound. So it's not their first time in the sound game. Reviews are good on these, and I love how Amazon has reviews to look through before making my purchase.The setup was super easy. There is an app you download for your phone that connects the headphones called Soundcore. Inside the app, there is a sound effect tab. Here, you can use the premade sound effects or customize the sound yourself. I have not tried all the different effects, but the effects are noticeable and do help with what you're listening to.Another feature I was not even thinking about is the ability to receive phone calls. Huge benefit to me as I usually miss phone calls while working in the yard. My wife loves this feature! Testing the call quality from my end, I heard my wife perfectly. I can only say she said she heard me, too. Can't say how much ambient noise she was hearing, as I wasn't in a loud environment at the time of the call.The last thing I will mention is the headphone design itself. I was not a fan of the headphones that go into the ear, the earbud design. I have tried earbuds before, and I get discomfort from them. It's hard to find something that stays in your ear and doesn't cause discomfort. So far, these headphones rest well around my ear. I have not experienced any "ear fatigue".Bottom line for me, these checked off my list of what I wanted without being a big investment. I didn't even mention the cool charging case. I like that, too.

Muy cómodos, livianos, no se sienten. Muy buen sonido, me sorprendió debido al tamaño y a la forma de colocación en el oido que no es inserción ni es conducción osea.Lo malo, no es apto para ambiente ruidoso, debido a que solo está sobrepuesto en la entrada del canal auditivo, se escucha todo el ruido exterior, luego si el ambiente es silencioso, se difruta mucho del buen sonido de los auriculares. Pero si el ambiente es muy ruidoso se debe subir mucho el volumen y de todas formas no se escucha bien. Lo otro que no me gustó, es que no tiene botones físicos para control de volumen, adelantar, atrasar, contestar y colgar. Tiene boton de tacto, pero eso complica, porque se debe aprender si es con un toque, dos toques o toque largo o en el izquierdo o en el derecho.... En conclusión, para ambientes tranquilos tienen muy buen sonido y son muy cómodos.
