Sound Quality: Outstanding! These things blew away my old Apple earbuds, with deep lows and crackle-free highs. I've used Skullcandy and Apple, wired and wireless, and I've NEVER had sound this good and battery life this long. For the longest time I was forced to use an amplifier app in order to get my music to an acceptable volume, but I've finally been able to ditch it.
Ease of Use: I honestly didn't even need the pamphlet that came with it, and haven't needed it. Just pull them out of the case and they immediately show up on the phone's Bluetooth connection for pairing. One click and they're off and running.
Comfort: Fine for a few hours, but after that they DO become a little uncomfortable to wear; you don't really notice until you remove them, though.
Stability: I must have weird ear canals, because I've never been able to keep silicone-tipped earbuds properly inserted, regardless of the size used. They ALL fall out with the smallest movement of my head. Even something as innocuous as a yawn or smile will pop them out and send them bouncing. Not these! They stay sitting just inside the ear and are firmly seated; I've even done yard work with them, without so much as a jiggle. Unaffected by sweat, but I wouldn't advise showering with them. Just in case.
Appearance: Sleek, black design with a great LED indicator on the case showing charging and battery status. Has some heft to it, so it definitely doesn't feel cheap. The earbuds themselves are also pretty solid, BUT remember they are still delicate instruments; a short fall onto a hard, dense surface may well degrade their sound quality, or wreck the internal circuitry entirely. But the same can be said of $200+ earbuds.
All in all, I couldn't be happier! If in the future these should turn out to live less than a year (barring unforseen accidents), I'll buy another set anyway. The quality is the best I've discovered at this unbeatable price point. 100% recommended!
Note: I am NOT an audiophile, so if you're capable of hearing sounds that even dogs miss, I can't vouch for whether or not these are for you. But for the average, everyday ear...yes. Unequivocally.
