I should have trusted my instincts!
I bought them to go to sleep with my SP3000 (Focal headphones are too big for that) and I really needed something with decent sound. While the sound is good, it's dulled by everything else, which is really impractical. The connection is made whenever it wants (when it doesn't make my smartphone crash!), removing them from the box is a real pain (despite the notches provided for this purpose), there's nothing to indicate whether the headphones are working or not, and fitting the ear pads and tips is laborious. In short, I'm not happy with it at the moment. Ah, all the same, it seems that hearing during telephone conversations is good and without interruptions. Time will tell.
Pro
- The sound is fine
- Aution during telephone conversations
Contra
- Pairing
- Touch
Excellent, not perfect
You can actually hear the difference between lossy and lossless audio formats (e.g. 160kbps MP3 vs WAV), much better than on competitor earbuds. More comfortable than they look, as most of it rests outside of the ear. Included wingtips are decent.
My two issues:
- Actual battery life 5.5-6 hours, and the case only recharges 1.5x maximum, not the advertised 3x
- The fit isn't ideal (for me). I have bigger, deeper ears, so I wish the nozzle of the earbud were a little longer, like on Sennheiser MTW4. The shallow-fitting stem type earbuds (Apple Airpods) never work for me though, so if those work for you these are also probably finePro
- Hearing personalization
- ANC doesn't amplify wind noise
Contra
- Battery less than advertised
- Sound in L and R earbud doesn't start at same time after pausing
Maybe I had a faulty product
I had to send this one back even though I had anticipated it a lot. I think my buds were defective as one ear either didn't charge or did so half way and stopped. I saw in a YT vidéo that this had occurred elsewhere as well, so there are more than one or two faulty products circulating.
Another problem was a very noticeable distortion in the right ear if with some songs. Otherwise, the sound was very deep, bassy but lacking just a tad bit in the highs i.m.o.
In any case, they didn't match all the praise I had heard on commentary videos, so o am guessing it was my product that was faulty.Pro
- Sound
- Ease of controls
- Comfort
- Transparency/noise blocking ok
- Good software
Contra
- Deep sound, but the high end/treble was a bit lacking
- One earbod charged more than the other while the other sometimes didn't charge at all.
- Distortion in right ear at times
Conclusion: Deep in the core business
The sound is convincing. It may be a little bass-heavy, but the quality is really high. The app is also powerful and the battery performance is fine. The customisation is also cool. I heard a massive difference and the customised profile really drew me into the action. On the other hand, there's the design. It's a matter of taste, but I don't like it at all. The headphones are also relatively heavy. Unfortunately, the transparency mode doesn't convince me either - the inherent noise is annoying.
What's more, if you have an iPhone, you're missing out on a lot of music quality. This is because the AptX Lossless codec does not work here. However, this is due to the iPhone, not the headphones. All in all: Despite the price, you are making some compromises. But if you primarily value really good sound with a tendency towards bass - go for it.Pro

Simply GEIL
I don't regret buying these brilliant headphones at all, the sound quality is simply brilliant!
As I can't listen to music all day, it doesn't bother me too much that the battery doesn't last all day, the battery in the case is long enough in my opinion.
The app is also quite good, a bit better than the Nura True :)Pro
- Superb sound quality
- Sound can also be customised
- Enough options for adjusting left and right touch
- Case battery long enough in my opinion
Contra
- sometimes press a little in my auricle after a long time
- Sometimes don't hold up so well because the fit is a little too big
- cannot be used for the whole day as it does not have such a long battery
