There’s a lot of potential here and as an early adopter one has to accept some glitches. However, this is not their first product and some of these should have been worked through.
1 – The “tap to bypass” feature is great in theory. In practice it is very finicky. Getting it to bypass usually takes several taps. I’ve read up on a bit on technique and I’ve gotten better, but it doesn’t work consistently enough.

2 – They cut out as you walk and move around if the phone isn’t direct enough to your ears. This is partially an issue with bluetooth. Or so that’s how I understand it. Bluetooth does not travel through flesh (I want to say it’s the water in us?) well. These blip a bit if you’re walking with your phone in your pocket.

3 – They don’t always pair right. Sometimes I need to put them back in the box and take them out to get it to work right. I know some people that have had to reset the pairing weekly.

4 – The app is slow to pair. When you open it, it can take 5-10+ seconds to pair with the ear buds. One can work with this, but it’s a pain.

Overall, wireless headphones and wireless earbuds specifically here, are awesome. For biking or walking or moving around they’re great. I’m sure there cheaper options that take care of that part. The extra tech of these still needs work. Oh, and they do fit great. One of the main reasons I chose these over AirPods is that they don’t fit my ears. These fit great.

Cheer!
