Hi Sue, Oh awesome, so glad you got to try them. Love your assessment of them as well. I agree with your points. That was the one thing the 1st generation had going for them with the touch controls. Not a fan of these new ones but the volume part still works pretty good. It's all the other functions I feel like I have to use two hands to press while on my ear. As for the mics, they could of done better saying they have 6 mics but the audio cuts out, yeah that's not great. Fit is so much better now compared to previous generation and sound 👍🏾 so I agree with you on the worthy upgrade. I loved the app options and noticed the focus mode really does do something. Overall I like the pros as well but always room for improvement in those areas we mentioned and make them actually waterproof not resistant for the $299 price they will go up to once released. Thanks for checking out my review and your feedback. You make me want to do more reviews that are short and sweet no fluff just honest opinion 🙏🏾 have an amazing day 👍🏾🙂

Hey thanks so much for your comment and I completely agree with all the points stated! I was truly impressed with the quality of both the sound and the design and yes I do feel that it is more yellow than green. Definitely a welcomed upgrade to the previous versions. I reached for these a lot more than some of my in earbuds when I'm on the go just so that I can remain aware of my surroundings while still being able to listen to music with good quality. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your comment and to check out my video I really appreciate it. I look forward to seeing more of your opinions in comments.

@thesupaflyitguy you're welcome and it's refreshing to see a reviewer actually respond to comments

@@DroidLocks6971 thank you, I try my best to stay on top of things. I blame my current job as a tech professional on the prompt responses 😂

@thesupaflyitguy I always reply to comments on my reviews too accept when KZfaq doesn't sent a notification to me

@@DroidLocks6971 yeah, same. I appreciate that as well. I get excited when it's someone I really enjoy but they have a huge following and take time out to give thoughtful replies. It was nice to see this comment you posted that was well thought out. I actually had a scare the other day I was helping a family member move and one of my came out the case and it was dark outside. Luckily I had my best friend with me and we were able to find it and it was bright colored so with the flashlight on our phones we were able to see it. It had almost fallen off the third floor bridge in that apartment complex so I was freaking out LOL come to find out it was hanging on the side of the bridge right before it was about to fall. So we found it!

People will hear if close enough to you

These are open and do not go in your ear so I've had people next to me be able to hear at higher volumes. However when it's lower volume I can still hear great and others do not hear it as much but it's nowhere close to an earbud. Especially since these are made with being able to be aware of your environment.
