Audio Technica ATH-CKS50TW

Mostly good earbuds with 1 problem – Purchased these in Dec 2022 for about $259 online. These are my third set of Bluetooth earbuds, having also bought some Samsung, and Jabra buds which showed declining battery life after 18 months but were both good in their own ways. PROS: Excellent full rich sound, even for my old ears. Exceptional battery life, far better than nearly anything else at around 20 hours, with another 20 in the case. Useful app for your phone or tablet with an equaliser etc. Can be used one at a time, which doubles battery life to 40 hours plus 40 in the case, ( good for mono radio or phone but you forego stereo.) Sturdy build and rugged case with charge indicator. Quick connectivity, and can connect to 2 devices simultaneously. All the usual features like hear-through, and isolation of sound.

CONS: Bigger and bulkier than most, though not heavy. Case is also big. I am still having trouble getting a good fit in my left ear, despite using the largest of the 4 sets of supplied earbud rubber tips. I would not trust these if i was running or even walking fast or working out, as the left one would fall out....though perfect for just sitting and listening to tv or a music source.

Conclusion: A great set of top sounding earbuds with extraordinary battery life, with a fitment problem for me in my left ear, which has a large canal. May not be a problem for you, depending on the size of your ear canals. Still much better than my Samsung earbuds, which didnt like connecting to my Samsung tv.(!) And better than my Jabras whoch although brilliant, could not be used singly to double battery life. (Older model.)
