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. Can still wear these for a couple of hours at a time, Marc B1 · harveynorman.com.au

Best Feature:Swipe up/down volume control, voice detect that automatically switches to ambient mode when you talk. Performance:Coming from samsung buds 2, i can feel the instruments are clearer even with the bass, even at high volume. It feels better to have another buds from samsung, its already hard to switch to other buds when you tried samsung buds or airpods pro 2. I considered getting the bu shopee.ph
