I must say, these were a huge surprise. For the price, I am not sure there is anything better out there ( no i have not tried every single earbud) These have worked flawlessly. No, they are not (blast your eardrums) loud. They are however, loud enough, in an environment, with 10+ 25" fans going, and sanders running, to keep 90-95% surrounding noise out, if worn CORRECTLY. No, they are not (Shake your brain) "Bassy" Yes, the bass sounds great, and I am more than the average audiophile. With the little case fully charged, and earbuds fully charged. I use these NONSTOP, either at Full volume, or two ticks under, for a constant 6 hours, before I put them back in the case. They are charged fully, within 30-60 minutes, and usually only depletes the "charging case" about 30 Percent. In a 12 hour work day, I still have about 40-45 percent battery left, in the little case. I think anyone who spends, what Airpods and the top of the line buds cost, is crazy... Yes, Airpods, Beats, Bose, all sound a lot better, and cancel noise, at lower volumes better, but, for the cost, you can not go wrong with these. I get about 30-40ft before BT gets choppy, and within 50ft, disconnected, but they connect instantly, when i am back in the 30ish ft range.
