I am a headphone guru, I have owned the following, from time to time: Sennheiser HD 800, 650, 600, AKG K701, K702, Grado RS-1, 325, BeyerDynamic T1, T50, 880 Pro 600ohm, 990, Bose QC20, 25, 30, 35, Wireless Sports, Jaybird X1, X2, and other many AKG/Audio Technica earbuds. So you can take a reference my experiences :)
Conclusion of Anker Sound Buds:
- Wearing comfort: 9 out of 10, VERY comfortable and fit into the ear deeply and tightly
- Sound Quality: 8 out of 10, comparative to earbuds up to $149 USD. Too much bass for me, clear and comfortable mid and high
- Playback time: 10 out of 10, haven't seen a known brand has >12hrs playtime earbuds. Probably Anker knows better how to maximize battery power usage by design
- Noise reduction: I am not familiar with CVC, but it doesn't seem to be an active noise cancellation like my Bose Q series, which you would notice an obvious switch when coming to NR on/off. It's about 6~70% noise reduction power of comparing to Bose QC30.
Summary: 9 out of 10. I would highly recommend this earbuds to ANYONE who is looking for a budgeted, long play time blue tooth earbuds, which sound quality matters at any kind (preferably pop music, as the bass is a bit too much comparing to other earbuds / headphones). Given the price, it's a no brainier pick.

1.) Sound quality
2.) Comfort
3.) Battery life
1.) Sound Quality - I was decently impressed with these overall when it came to sound quality. I also have the Anker Slims+ and I think these have a better sound overall as compared to the slims. I also have found them to have better sound quality vs some other brands in this same price range.
2.) Comfort - To me, these earbuds are simply the most comfortable earbuds I have ever tried. I the ear loops would make them harder to get on my ear properly and quickly, but they have been great. The ear loops are strong enough to hold them in place properly, but soft enough to make them comfortable and to place on your ear easily.
3.) Battery Life - I have not measured my exact battery life yet, but they seem consistent with other earbuds I have purchased. In some cases I would even say they last longer. I wear them for the largest part of the day and have never ran into an issue of them going dead during the day or evening. I normally charge about every other day.
The only one con I would have for these and it is nothing to do with the Soundbuds themselves it is the case. The case overall is great,but the only problem is the orientation of the mesh screen inside the case should be turned the opposite of the carry loop preventing items in the mesh carry slot from falling out. This is the only reason I deducted one star. It is so minimal I would not even worry about it, but it something to be conscious about it. Overall, these are great for the money and you will not be disappointed.

Over the years I have bought many different brands of inexpensive earbuds. I am not very rough with earbuds, but I do work outside a lot with them and go to the gym. There are three things that make or break it when it come to earbuds for me.By JBP on January 8, 2018

Imagine my surprise when when I compared these to my Jaybrid X3s

Imagine my surprise when when I compared these to my Jaybrid X3s.Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2018
I bought these since I didn't want to ruin the 4-5 times more expensive X3s during intense cardio or weight lifting. I found the Anker soundbuds curve and bought them thinking they wouldn't even come close. I was completely wrong!!! They are just as good sound quality wise. They have more base than the X3s and the highs might not be as pronounced, but overall just as good.
As for the fit, the fit is even better on my ears and are much more comfortable than the X3s. The ear hooks are more secure than the Jaybirds so I don't have to worry about them falling out.
Do not waste you money on expensive bluetooth earbuds. To me these are more than adequate.
For reference, I have owned many high end headphones and speakers. I am used to expensive headphones such as the HD800s and LCD3s. I also own KEF LS50s, Q150s. I have also owned a numbner of Klipsch and Elac speakers . The Ankers come no where near these of course but compared to the Jaybird they are just as good.
