My actual score would be 4.5 Stars.Like many others, I cannot stand the look of Air Pods, nor the overpriced nature of them for what I consider to be subpar quality for the price. The have a slightly superior sound to Air Pods, but I highly doubt you would notice the difference. My theory is simple; I can buy three pairs of these for a price of Air Pods, I don't look as silly with them in my ears, and I get a slight audio upgrade. What's wrong with that?The flaw in these is not so much a flaw as something you must get used to. While pressing an ear bud is a convenient way to change a song or raise volume, it's very inconvenient when you are just trying to adjust the headphones in your ear. There's a learning curve with that, and you have to use them for awhile before you learn where to press and for how long. That's no criticism of the device; that's a criticism of users who do not read directions or take the time to learn the device before reviewing them.PROS: Decent, not phenomenal sound, Decent, not perfect fit. Solid noise cancellation. Solid connectivity. Fairly comfortable Great charging system Discreet in the ear designCONS: Not a perfect fit in the ear, for me, it requires adjustment frequently Everything seems a bit too "middle" in the audio for my liking. Very sensitive to touch, perhaps too sensitiveCONCLUSION: The world is not returning to wired earbuds, so get used to the bluetooth world. Android products connect seamlessly, and Apple products will connect with a little more work. That's an APPLE criticism though. I have been unable to connect Apple devices to Apple products when they were close to each other. For this price, this is a good deal. It is rare to see this many reviews with only 5% negativity. There's something to that.

Nice design but too many flaws
I was excited when I first opened these, but that wore off quickly. To start off with the good points, the charging case is a nice, solid metal case and the headphones easily click into the magnetic charging ports. The design/shape of the headphones was great and they fit in my ears almost perfectly. I let them charge up to 100%, as you should according to the instructions, with the blue ring on each headphone illuminating nicely until they are charged. They connected fine to my phone, no problems there. Turning them on though was so very disappointing. The sound quality, keeping in mind the price point, is relatively poor. Everything sounds muffled, both speech and music. I assume it has to do with the design since the end of the headphone that goes into your ear tapers down to a rather thin area where the sound comes out. The bass is decent, but sounds muffled. Not a nice listening experience.I could possibly stand the sub-par sound and just keep these for podcasts and occasional music, but there were too many other negatives. The earpiece part of the headphones that goes into your ears is made of hard plastic and you are not able to switch to other sizes like most other headphones. This presents two problems: the fit may not work for you (though it was fine for me), but worse is they do not stay securely in your ears like a rubber earpiece would. I have tried using these for a few weeks and they have fallen out on me several times, luckily not falling down into a sewer or something. I tried them at the gym but they're too annoying to keep worrying about them falling out. Even just walking around I can feel them starting to fall out and I need to constantly push them back in.Probably the worst aspect is the unreliable connection. When I have my phone in my pocket and walk around with these, one or both headphones will cut out every maybe 10-20 seconds, enough to drive you crazy and just turn them off. Even with my phone sitting on my desk, as soon as I get up to walk around (with 10-15 feet of my phone) they will start to cut out. That and the earpiece was a dealbreaker for me. I'll be sending back for a refund.I suspect all of the glowing 5-star reviews on here are from people who used them for a few minutes right out of the box and have not taken the time to really test them like I did. But how anyone can say the sound quality is good is beyond me.The Good: Case and headphone designThe Bad: Muffled soundThe Dealbreakers: Slippery, non-changeable earpiece, sound cutting in and out with movement

C- Earbuds
Had these for about 2 years and will say wont be buying again.The good is it has pretty good battery life and the sound i found to be acceptable.The bad is one major thing for me is the ear pain I get from wearing them for at least 45 mins but that may just be for my case. Another is the noise cancelation was not the best when using on a flight. I had to raise the volume to get decent audible sound. The lowest volume is still pretty loud so did not like that. Also, it was annoying to get that loud dial tone for lowering the volume to 0. I noticed one of the earbud is giving off wierd sound where it does not go away when playing a video or music.
