Hi Waitingtobeimpressed, first of all thanks for opinions – it’s useful feedback. With regards to listing impedance, I merely listed down the tech specs available on Audio-Technica’s site so readers won’t have to switch between pages for reference. As for the comparisons, I do not own the Sony or Bose or Jabra or JBL, so I wouldn’t be able to provide a direct comparison. Apologies that the terms used in the review weren’t helpful for your reference. I will seek to improve on describing the sound better in the future. Do you have terms that you find more useful without sounding overly technical for the average reader? Thanks.

Also, how do these earbuds compare to others? Without having them to try merely listing features tells me very little. So they have ANC and have an ambient mode. So do 5 of my other 9 earbuds. How do these compare to other well known brands like Bose, Sony, Jabra, etc. What makes these stand-out compared to my $50 Taotronics, because they’ve got all the same features these do. What about sound quality compared to Sony? Are they bass-heavy like those? Terms like “tight,” and “punchy” are both vague and subjective, and thus useless descriptions, if they’re even accurate.

For the price charged for these earbuds they should be the most special pair of earbuds around. This article did not convey that to me. I’ve used a lot of totally wireless earbuds over many years and this article did not give me even the slightest feeling I should get them. This article actually made me want to avoid these earbuds. They cost a lot, have the same feature set my $50 ones do and the sound from my Taotronics, Sonys, Jabras, Samsungs, JBLs, Boses and JBuds are all punchy and tight.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
