Let me start with the noise cancellation—it’s *insane*. I stood next to a blender making smoothies, hit the ANC button, and suddenly it was just me and my podcast. No exaggeration, it’s better than my old over-ear aviation headset (and I’m a pilot). The 32dB reduction feels like someone hit mute on the world.

The battery life? Unreal. I forgot my charger on a 4-day trip and still had juice left. 60 hours is no joke—I only charge these weekly even with daily gym sessions and commutes. Speaking of gyms: IPX6 means sweat just rolls off, and the magnetic neckband stays put during burpees (a first for me).

Comfort shocked me. The XS eartips finally fit my tiny ears without that ‘pressure cooker’ feeling. Pro tip: The auto on/off magnet feature is genius—separate the buds to instantly reconnect to your phone. No more fumbling with buttons when your hands are full.

Sound quality punches above its price. Bass doesn’t drown mids in EDM tracks, and calls are crystal clear thanks to those 3 AI mics (my mom actually asked if I got a new phone). Transparency mode is handy for airport announcements without removing them.

Downsides? The neckband takes getting used to if you’re coming from true wireless buds. But after week one, I started absentmindedly wearing them like jewelry while working—they’re that lightweight.

Verdict: These replaced both my workout earbuds *and* travel headphones. At this price with ANC this good? Just buy them.
