I purchased these as a solution to three problems, comfortable hearing protection, active listening with good audio quality and bluetooth capability to listen to music and audiobooks at work when doing a mindless task while maintaining situational awareness.

The good:

Battery: The battery life is perfect and I don't even have to charge them, although the stated life is rather vague and hidden, when using a medium-quiet volume of both music and listening, they will last more than 8 hours without charging, I've yet to run into the wall with them as far as battery life goes.

Comfort: Once you know what fits your ear and how to place them, they are barely even noticeable, provided you don't wear glasses or things like that that of low quality.

Sound Quality: Very high sound quality, it's not going to give you superhuman hearing and it'll make white noise louder, but when in the right conditions it's like you're not wearing them at all in terms of hearing. Good enough for music and audiobooks. Powerboost and Standard are my go-to modes when out and about, I don't really have a use for high-frequency mode and clear voice as they are only useful in quiet environments where you're listening for particular things, whereas in industrial environments they're nearly useless due to the noise of machinery, presses and grinders. Clear voice is good to listen in detail to the arc of a welder, though not better then the naked ear, but no hot tamales in your ear with these things.
