Super Worth The Money

I was skeptical buying used, but these look brand new. The built-in Alexa is a nice bonus, though you need to press the NC button to activate it. Sound quality is clear and good, comparable to Echo Buds. Battery life is impressive—I used them 3-4 hours a week and still had over 50% after weeks. Bluetooth pairing is easy, but the range isn't great; I get static if I go downstairs. Noise cancellation is average—I can still hear surroundings, but I don't mind. The faux leather ear pads get greasy, so wipe them down. No hard case included, but I bought a cheap one. Overall, great value for a used pair.

Amazing battery life, good sound, bad noise cancelling outside

I've had these for a few years, and the battery is a beast—only ran out twice after days of heavy use. Sound quality is solid for a non-audiophile, and the mic works great for calls. Bluetooth pairing is straightforward, and the Android app gives you EQ control and firmware updates. The noise cancellation is just okay—it cuts out some low hums but still lets fan or airplane noise through. I wish it had an ambient mode to let outside sounds in without taking the headphones off. Biggest gripes: the NC is useless outdoors because wind hits the mics and makes a racket (and it defaults to NC on, so that's annoying). Every button press triggers a loud beep and a voice announcement, which doesn't pause the audio. The included cable doesn't carry mic input, so you can't use it as a wired headset. And you can't use them while charging. Still, for the battery life alone, they're worth it.
