The verdict

The lightweight earphones are comfortable and work seamlessly with your Android device. Its IPX4 rating makes this a great option for those who live in humid climates or athletes, and the microphone quality is good for phone calls. Still, there are plenty of similarly priced options with fewer audio quirks.
