The verdict

If you're an aquatic or outdoor athlete itching for true wireless earbuds this is arguably the best package available, especially given price reductions. The design is appealing and the advanced onboard controls are invaluable during focused workouts. Unfortunately, connectivity issues are a general plague affecting virtually all true wireless earbuds, a limitation of the technology.

✓What we like

✓IP57 dust and water resistance rating for durability during swimming and athletic activities

✓Stable ear hook fit that stays secure during workouts, running, and cycling

✓Comprehensive touch and physical controls on both earbuds for music and call management

✓Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity

✓Ambient Aware ear tip design allows you to hear your surroundings for safety during outdoor activities

✕What could be better

✕Sound quality is compromised by the open ear tip design and lack of passive isolation

✕Bluetooth connectivity issues when used outdoors with occasional dropouts between earbuds

✕Battery life falls short of manufacturer claims at 3.72 hours actual playback versus 5 hours claimed

✕Price point is relatively high for the sound quality and feature set offered
