Much of the competition sounds sluggish, with head-pounding boominess, and lacks treble detail, resulting in a murky and muffled sound. I get compliments on these at work. The overall makeup of this pouch seems to be of a good quality! I could hear many more details with these earbuds than I could using my Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro. I now have to watch how fast and hard I close my bathroom door. In fact its both earphones are listed as one. Excellent for clubbing! I put my Garmin Fenix 3HR on it and have it display my HR full time (wearing a chest strap). the cable does not get tangled thats something to appreciate. After a 4 ft drop on the first day I owned my air pods and freaking out, I had to get a case so save myself from myself.
