I give them 5 stars for general quality, out-of-box comfort and ease of use. I truly forget when I'm wearing them. I have to touch my head to check. They feel weightless and they're steady on my head at the same time. They don't flop off and they don't squeeze either. When I had long hair the weight of my hair over them made them noticeable but I wear them over my hair--and I cut my hair short, so no problem. The sound is perfectly fine but I'm not an audiophile. When I use the headset for talking on the phone some people say I sound muffled but I can hear them very clearly. That's kind of a drawback. I mostly use mine for music and Netflix though. For that, they're awesome, especially for the price. If I'm not wearing them, they're easy to carry on my arm or toss in a purse without tangling wires. I gave it "not applicable" for noise cancelling cuz **they're not supposed to**. The whole point of open ear is to be aware of your surroundings, right? The battery level can be checked on your phone in the bluetooth app setting. It took me a while to figure that out. If I rest my head against the car headrest while I'm wearing them they do get push out of position but I move them to my neck and use my car bluetooth when I'm in the car. Not really a big deal for me. The buttons are raised so you can actually feel them and press them easily. They're plenty loud for me but I'm not inclined to blast my eardrums. For charging, it uses a special cable to charge. You can use any old USB-C or micro cable. It has a shape specific to the headset and it's magnetic. I had a moment of panic one day when I couldn't find my cable but, fortunately, I bought a set for my partner and used his until mine turned up.
