PROS
Lighter, less bulky headset which translates to more comfort on the neck
Great earbuds for sound and feel in the ear
Hits it out of the park quality for the newer less complex on - off / answer calls button and volume button
Wonderful that they moved the charge port to the outer aspect of the headset
Retractable earbuds are nice, but.. see below
Good sound quality
Good noise canceling
Good battery life though we always want more! 😉
CONS
The retractable earbuds are nice but they're connected by these really FAIL-ish TEENY BREAKABLE WIRES. Not happy about that at all. I would be happy to give up the less bulkiness if I had more robust wires here.
FINAL NOTE.
Just be careful as you retract the earbuds both in handling the ridiculously tiny wire that attach them to the body of the headset, and pull gently so you don't gank the retractor parts.

I do like that they charge quickly using USBC. I have had to use the quick charge feature a few times, which is nice, However, it would be nicer if I could expect a full charge to last long enough I didnt need to quick charge.
This unit may be defective since compared to the versions I have had in the past, the sound is flat and the battery doesnt last much more than 8 hours in stand-by on a full charge. compared to past instances that would last almost 2 days.
I will most likely return them, which sucks. I hate returning items.
