before the samsung buds pro i used bose soundsport for 2 1/2 years. i gave these buds a try and i am not satisfied with the sound quality, they seem to shift sound quality from song to song and i keep having to mess with sound settings to make it sound decent enough every song. also, the loudness seems to be weak at full volume and i pass my annual hearing test with no issues. the anc is good but does not totaly block out ambient but dulls it quite a bit.. pairing them was a breeze and accomplished in seconds. they also fit in my motorcycle helmet with ease. the battery life is amazing over the bose but i guess the sound quality was sacrificed for battery life.

side note, after wearing them for awhile they make my ears sore, very noticeable when operating the touch controls.
