Article: no wireless charging, no active noise cancellation, poor call quality, difficult to find controls, case too heavy for pocket. Better than Apple! More on reddit.com

I get the argument about the branding but most of the time they're gonna be in your ear right? Who's gonna be able to see the logo? What draws me is that gorgeous charging case, and if you care that's what everyone's gonna be seeing the most anyways. Early reviews say sound quality is almost comparable to the top tier like the Sennheisers, MW07, and Beoplay E08. That plus the battery, usb-C, and (possibly?) Multipoint Bluetooth are good enough for me. Only downside I see is the lack of wireless charging and no earfins. If I don't get these I might jump on the Cleer Ally Plus when they come out in August. The Cleers are gonna have Qualcomm's newest 5100 chips that support active noise cancellation plus the company is pretty reputable. Otherwise I'd hop on the Bose earbuds 500 when they drop later in the year cuz it's Bose and they'd have learned from the Soundsport Free to make an even better product. I'm just hella impatient tho so most likely it's gonna be the Klipsch cuz they'll drop first + that case. I can't get over that case lmao More on reddit.com

I got my pair about a week ago and for the most part they are pretty good minus a few quirks. The changing box they come in is massive, like much larger than I expected. This along with its boxy shape makes it not exactly the most comfortable thing to put into a pocket. Also I'm not sure the foam tips were something that they had in mind when they designed the charging box as at least for me the buds don't actually fit in the changing case when the foam tips are on. The sound transparency mode does work but its not great. It tends to amplify background so anything like moving air or water somewhat overwhelms everything else . On top of this it feels like it either tries to cut the sound or change the audio mix anytime your phone gets an audio notification which can be somewhat jarring. The wings that come with the buds don't actually secure to the earbuds in any real way, which means they will start to fall off into your ear as you wear and press the buttons on the buds. Never have I felt that they were about to fall out of my ear because of this and switching to the smallest size helped for the most part but until I did it was a minor annoyance. Otherwise they are pretty comfortable to have in and I more or less wear them for my entire 9 hour work shift. Pairing is pretty quick and easy and I have yet to have any disconnect or de-sync issue like I had was my older cheaper pair of true wireless. Sound quality is pretty solid I do wish they had a little better bass, but its not so bad that I feel that I'm missing parts of the song because of it Call quality seems to be pretty good in all but louder environments which I cant really blame them for. some of the places I work at are just loud and just not great places to take phone calls from. For the most part for my first pair of high end earbuds I'm pretty happy with the product I got. I hope this helps More on reddit.com

I think I'll pass just on account of that branding. Yikes.
