Extremely underwhelming piece of tech in terms of build quality/UI. I bought these summer of last year for full price and have only just broken due to water damage. Now I am honestly thrilled to be able to replace these.
Firstly, the ear cuffs don't bend which is not mentioned anywhere - makes transporting them a nightmare.
The top of the headband started lifting in the first few months, guessing the glue just gave up.
Probably the worst touch controls I've come across, sometimes working, mostly not. Very unreliable so I just turned them off after a while. Didn't make it better that the app was almost unusable and wouldn't remember previous settings.
ANC was ok, sometimes you can hear loud thuds while playing music which was strange. The wind option and the adaptive NC was useless, you could hear it changing every few seconds when it was on.
The battery was great at the beginning and was lasting me a week or more, however, with updates or age (less than a year) it's started to last me 3 days max. I have tried factory resetting with no luck.Theon head detection was also useless, even
I was enjoying the sound, very balanced and everything sounded like it should. The vocals maybe not as clear and volume very low. Doesn't justify the price.

Overall, many better options on the market that value user experience - it does make sense that they're now half price. Unsure if I got a faulty batch as most of my problems started a few months in. Even then, a reputable brand shouldn't allow for this poor design and build quality. Totally unacceptable.
