Only AAC supported...If you want HiFi quality search for APTx or LDAC...Sony or Anker models...Check out developer options on your phone 2 C the Bluetooth settings...

Noise cancellation is OK, nice and easy to wear but the sound quality is average. If you listen HiFi music look elsewhere...

Could be cheaper for the quality they offer...Looks shiny and expensive, but its what inside the case is what matters...

          Is there an option to just use the noise cancellation mode with no music? Thanks

            Planning to get one this month. I'm planning to start working out and want a pair of earbuds. The price of this earbuds caught my attention. It has everything, such as ambience mode and ANC. except the touch controls, which I don't mind at all. Should I go for this pair or wait for the next one? Auugh, impulse buying. Would love to hear other's opinion. :)))

              Just got them an hour ago , I'm a generator operator so the noise is pretty loud like 90db or so but ANC Is doing great job
              The noise is about 50% quieter but when i go very close to the engine the anc stops working idk why , just move away from it and it works again , after all great earbuds
              My phone is Poco F3 btw

                  Tetsuya23, 12 Nov 2021How about the latency? Is it good for gaming?If there is no information about latency time, just find another wireless headset which give that information, because some OEM won't focus for gamers, the OEM only focus for music or phone calling rather than thinking to minimize latency that never ever be the exact zero latency

                      If using it on windows make sure to use headphones profile NOT headset profile as it uses different codec. Just click on sound icon and switch to headphones.

                        I don't get it. I read all the glowing reviews and bought these as a new year gift from my gf. And what a disappointment it's been!! Yes, the hardware is good and during calls the quality is great. However, for listening to music these are awful, because there is always this white-noisy hiss in the upper range, sort of like a badly compressed MP3. It really removes the joy from listening to music and after one-two tracks you just want to stop, just like with some cheapo TWS earbuds. Unacceptable. Real pity, because the rest was quite good and the fit in your ear is fantastic.
                        Now, I trust GSMArena since 2006, and this review just shows u cant trust anyone nowadays. And with In-ear headphones this is a real problem, because you do not have the ability to actually try them before you buy in a store.

                          How can I use only one earbud without turning off Smart wear detection?

                                        Also forgot to mention, comes at a great price. Very reasonable and competitive for the features especially the long battery life. I like how they recharge once they're back in the case too.
