I was reading the reviews before I decided to make this purchase. There were a lot of negative reviews talking about how uncomfortable they were or that they didn't stay in their ears. I decided to go for it and buy them and I do not regret it. These buds are amazing. I have own Apple buds before and I didn't like them because they always fell out of my ears. These stay in, although I did change the eartips. They didn't stay in as well with the ear tips they came with, but they were still better than the Apple ones I had. I invested a little more money to get memory foam tips and they are amazing and stay in.People were saying they were very uncomfortable. Idk where this is coming from because they don't even touch my ears besides the tips when I put them in. Not uncomfortable at all. All I feel is the soft memory foam tips. Another complaint I saw was battery life. Yeah the battery life isn't the best. I put the lights on because they look cool so I am sure that drains them faster, but I have never ran out of battery life after using them for hours so I can't say how long they last, but they were low after using them for 3-4 hours. I think the case has a battery in it, so if you put them in the case they charge up again. I figured this out today. I used them for a few hours, put them in the case, used them later in the day and they were at 100%. So battery life to me is not an issue. I think these are totally worth it. Expensive, but I don't see anything being better than these in terms of sound, how cool they look with the lights, and the battery in the case.Now let's talk about sound. There were a few negative reviews about sound. I had the latest Apple buds and these are as good if not better than them. I say that because I haven't even messed with the EQ since they sounded great out the box. I am sure I can make them sound even better if I mess with the EQ. That's another upside. I have a samsung phone so I am not sure if it is only a samsung thing, but there is an option to adjust the EQ to get the perfect sound you want. The bass is there but it's not super noticeable, so I am sure you can add more bass in the EQ settings if you are a bass heavy person. There are also different modes you can use to give you more of a surround sound experience, which I use because it makes it louder and clearer for me. I am happy with my purchase. I do recommend these.
