Reviews

Unfortunately, it was not a

"Unfortunately, it was not a good experience. I really hate having to return them because I actually liked the sound quality, the EQ, and the fit — they were all really good. I was able to run, walk, and work out comfortably without any issues. However, whenever I’m walking around or moving (instead of staying still), the headphones randomly pause by themselves and I have to press play again to continue listening. I’m not sure if this is a problem with all units or if mine was defective, but unfortunately I have to return them. Really disappointing."

I am in love with

"I am in love with them. I had the 360, but they broke on me after only 10 months. I sent them back, got the 540 and, although it's only a price difference of about 20€, I instantly felt the difference between models. The 540's case is not as klunky as the 360's and the closing isn't as loud, although it has a magnet (I had to always hold the case, because the in-ears kept falling)."

Mariê B. (5/5)

pretty good so far. Great

"pretty good so far. Great sound and high volume without distortion. Only issue im fining is that if there is any wind at all the A. N. C just can't handle it so there is wind interference over your music. . You can sort this out my truning all this off and just play music. But over all very comfortable great sound and the case is sturdy only my small comment about the microphone and anc. But would highly recommend so far."

The touch on the earbuds

"The touch on the earbuds is nayve alittle to sensitive when moving around like I do on my job the keep starting a turning of the music and on calls I can hear the klicking . Or else I love them , very good sound and the anc is great cause I work alot where there is alot of traffic so I need to know my surroundings"

The earbuds have cool features

"The earbuds have cool features but if they are in my ears too long then they start to hurt and in the stay aware mode it plays some kind of subtle static? But overall the sound quality is great"
