More powerful than ever before, these wireless earbuds boast 35 hours of playtime when combined with a fully charged case. So classy looking, such a lovely aesthetic to be worn and enjoyed along with the funtionality and the sound. While they come with the same four different sizes of silicone tips and one pair of foam tips, once inserted into the ear, these earbuds produce a plunger-like feeling. The most popular and best codec is the APTX, which has a bit rate of 352 kbps, performs its work in a much wider bandwidth than the SBC, so it can move more data in better sound quality. A good battery life, high-quality workmanship and the extremely functional transparency mode skilfully round off the feature set.I realize that the low ends/bass is not "the same" as my Bose Soundsport, and not "the same" as my husband's highest end Sony in ear phones, but the "difference" honestly does not bother me in the least.
