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
