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!

Been through a few wireless earbuds now, can’t quite fork out $400 for top of the range ones because I’ll lose them. But these were on sale for $80AUD, I’d buy them again in a heartbeat. Good battery life, great sound quality, very secure in ear, touch controls aren’t oversensitive! I do experience a little ear fatigue and need to adjust them.
