Overall, great earbuds. They are comfortable, have good sound quality, offer a nice battery life, are easy to pair, and also easy to charge. These are my third pair of earbuds. I hesitated at first being afraid that they would fall out, I have never had that problem. My only problem with this pair are the controls. I like to listen to music, or book on tape while doing housework. I have three children, so I am constantly pausing whatever I am listening to. I wish it were as simple as pushing a button on the earbuds, as on the other pairs I have had. With this unit, you have to touch it twice, and invariably, I end up adjusting the volume or even skipping ahead, instead of pausing it. Partly because the touch doesn't always register, or timing is off. It is easier to simply control it with my smartphone. If that is not an issue for you, then these would be great. I love the built in charging cable. It fits directly into a USB port, and it does not matter which way you put it in. The light on the unit will turn red when it needs a charge, which is helpful. It is never fun to pull out an earbud with a dead battery. I do prefer my unit that actually has bars on it, so that you can see how much of a charge it has. This one will simply light up green or red, which as I said, is better than no warning at all. The sound quality is very good, especially considering the price point. I do not use the bass boost, so I can't really comment to that. I also love that the ear bud unit doesn't have flashing lights on it (because, as a mother, you do have to sneak up on (or away from) children in the dark occasionally). They do have a discreet light at the base to let you know they're on, but it's not enough to hypnotize your toddler or alert your baby that you're escaping the bedroom. Overall, great ear buds, great sound, great price. Only thing I could ask for would be easier controls on the buds.
