I'll break my review down into a couple categories.- Speaker Sound Quality: The sound quality is pretty good. Don't get me wrong, it's not audiophile grade, but these are normally like $100, and even less on special, so I was frankly quite impressed with the sound quality for the money. These also get plenty loud enough to jam out to some music.- Microphone quality: Again, not going to win any awards, but, at the end of the day, if I'm in a phone call, the other person can hear me perfectly clearly. The bottleneck is going to be the audio quality of the actual phone call, not the microphones on the headphones.- ANC: If you are used to something from the likes of Sony, you might be slightly disappointed, until you consider the price. Sub-$100 wireless earbuds rarely have active noice cancellation, and, when they do, it usually sucks. These are actually pretty good and filter out a lot of low end noises in the area.- Battery life: No complaints here. I haven't technically tested the 40-hour battery life claim, but I only have to charge these like once a month (and I use them for a few hours every day).- Durability: Pretty good. I had my last pair start to go out (the speaker on one headphone and the microphone on the other) after almost two years, which I would call reasonably long-lasting considering how heavily I use them (and the fact that I payed like $60 for them on special!). I ended up just buying another pair because they are great. I also drop them fairly regularly because I am a klutz and that doesn't really seem to damage them substantially.Overall, great headphones at a great price. You are making minor compromises as compared to a $300 pair, but they feel a lot better than how much they cost. I would recommend these to anybody who's not an audiophile.
