Worth it at a discount - annoying connectivity issues sometimes, possibly wonky charging
4 of 4 found this helpful These are a solid 3 stars IF AND ONLY IF you can grab them at a huge discount. I got them for $100, and I'd be angry if I paid any more than that.
They sound great, no complaints there. Sometimes when I walk away from the audio source the connection goes spotty, which I haven't experienced with other wireless headphones. Not generally a problem.
Where they disappoint is connecting to other devices. You always want Bluetooth devices to just work, and these mostly do, but every once in awhile they just decide to be a pain for no good reason. As far as I know, you have to use the app when you want to use transparent hearing (which works great), so I'm not sure how to turn it on when I'm using my PC. I get that transparent hearing is mostly for public situations, but it's good to have when you work from home, too.
I have consistent issues trying to connect to one phone in particular, my Galaxy S7. I have no issues connecting my HD1s to the phone, and these buds do connect to it sometimes, so I know it's not the phone. Fortunately they haven't (yet) given me too much trouble with my main phone (Moto Z2 Force) ir with my PC. If the S7 were my only phone, this would be a much worse review and I'd have sent these back.
Also, one time when I charged these overnight in the case, only one of the buds charged. Super irritating if I had to commute and use these at the office, but less of an issue at home. Since then I've made it a point to press down a bit when putting the buds in the case in case the issue was a faulty contact, and I haven't had that problem except the one time.
So, if you can put up with some minor annoyances then these are worth picking up at a big discount. But if you have the cash to burn on the second gen version of these (which, no clue if they're better at connecting) or another brand, then do that instead.
It's worth noting that if you get these direct from Sennheiser, they come with a 2-year warranty, so you do have recourse if you have dealbreaker issues.
