    Why the heck did it take 4 years for this?? I assumed it must have been some sort of hardware limitation, but obviously not.

    These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.

    What's funny is I was just about to buy some decent wired earphones just for the Switch for a trip I was going on but in the end didn't have time to see what's good so just bought the cheapest Sony ones I could find. Imagine if I had spent like £50 on good earphones only to not need them 😅 can't wait to get home and update to try this out!
