3.0 out of 5 starsSound is good, but don't work well for me

As others have said, these headphones have surprisingly good sound for the price point. Honestly, I can't tell much difference in sound quality between these and my Galaxy buds. They do not have any noticeable noise canceling capabilities IMO, and I nearly exclusively use ANC headphones because I fly so often and I just do not want to hear anyone else on a plane (I don't use buds, typically). I didn't really order them for that, though--I mostly listen to audiobooks while I'm cleaning or doing chores (helps pass the time while doing things I'd rather not be doing), and I had a similar pair that stayed in my ears really well (but I left them in a hotel, so I tried to replace them with these). Unfortunately, they just do not stay in my ears. I tried ALL the plugs (they come with quite a few) but none keep them in my ears when I lean my head forward at all (I don't even need to bend...just tilting forward means they'll fall out). This is doubly troublesome because if I feel them slipping, they're impossible to push back in without changing something because of the control locations. Typically, I end up either pausing my book or moving to the next chapter when I try to push them back in (usually the controls on buds are in a less accessible area, IME). I finally just gave up and gave them to my husband, but they don't stay in his ears very well either (though he uses them more when sitting so it's not as much of an issue for him).
They charge quickly and hold a charge for a decent amount of time (I think it says 5 hrs, and that seems about right.... I've definitely worn them from 8 or 9 am until they ran down at about 2 pm). They just don't work well if you need them to stay in when doing much activity, and there's no noise cancelation other than what you'd get with any buds IMO.
