Fit
In-ear
The fit of the earbuds.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
weight
12.4 g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

impedance
16 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
sound pressure level
99 dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Excellent battery life, and design, but as they are earbuds, they go inside the ear canal and can sometimes be uncomfortable. The touch options on both the app and the earbuds themselves could be improved.

Got the Orange version of the product.It had great looks and form.Being an Tri athelete I use it Biking and Running. I Tried using it swimming to check it s build quality,Sure it turned off when I was submeged since bluetooth cant communicate under water, But the Buds still works.It is not AERO DYnamic its very noisy (air noise) during biking at 35kph.And when sweats build up the buds fall .In Running its noisy as you hear the Thuds while stepping your foot on the pavement.The sound is rather subdued (compared to my JBL Flow).After 2 years of continous use .Right now the left ear buds lose power after 1 hour of use.
