These are the first pair of wireless earbuds and I’m love them! I never really thought I would like them until I tried these! They are so comfortable and stay in place. The noise canceling really works well! I go for bloodwork quite frequently and these are perfect while I’m there to tune out everything else around me! The battery life is SO good!
