I have owned many different earbuds, previous to these I had Sony XM4s, but the rubber buds split so I decided to take them back and get these and pay the extra. I was of course hesitant due to the price but I was very glad I did because the Beoplay EXs are by far the best sounding earbuds on the market and it isn't close. Like other B&O wireless product's I own, battery life is the only issue, bu Richard · johnlewis.com

Ive used these things nearly every day sense I've got them. Not only is the audio quality astonishing but they are also surprisingly durable I'll give you a few examples from 3 different lines of work Treework- I use them as hearing protection both in the lift and running the wood chipper, I've had them fall from my head at 60 feet in the air, dusted them off and kept going!
