Noise Canceling
Customers have mixed opinions on the noise canceling performance of the earbuds with some praising its effectiveness while others find it less impressive compared to their expectations or previous experiences with other brands like Bose or Sennheiser.

The tap to pause is touchy, after two weeks with these ear buds, i have not mastered the correct tap pressure or spot.
Price
I am pleased that i made this purchase instead of paying the mortgage.
I had to buy a pair off ebay for $5.
Packaging/appearance
Came with an adhesive for the upper part to keep case attached.
Competitiveness
The sound quality is crisp, clear and better than any other besides my daughter's airpods on her apple.
Battery is great so far, better than xm4’s, beats fit pro, and the bose ultra’s i’ve used too.
The bose ultras may beat the sony’s on this, but barely, and the form factor sucks.
The sony earbuds are way superior to samsungs earbuds.

These are very light and unobtrusive the sound is fine probably too bass heavy for audiophiles but you can adjust noise canceling is okayim using the biggest of the foam tips because i want a tight fit to keep them secure and to help block noise but the foam is just not dense enough so it never feels that secure and you get sound leakage the anc cant block
