I've been using these fro some time now, and they are brilliant! much more comfier than my previous ones and doesn't fall out of the ear. Noise cancellation is amazing and once on you can't hear e.g. cars going past outside( I live near busy road), or rain. Voice calls are so much higher quality than before, finally the recipient of the call can hear me without any sound disruptions. in general so Meluma · uk.jbl.com

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!
