I bought these for my wife to use for phone calls b/c she is on the phone a LOT for work purposes.
As expected from B&W...excellent sound reproduction overall!!
For misic...I don't know how they manage to produce such a rich and full soundstage. A little heavy on the low frequencies for my personal taste, but one can adjust this with an equalizer app (assuming use with a phone or tablet) if need be.
Excellent sound quality for phone calls. Voices are clear on both ends.
Noise cancelling is a bit subject to the fit in ypur ear. If you get a good seal in your ear canal...lesser ambient sounds do not leak in. Personal comfort level is key IMO. i.e. How hard do you wish to push these into your ears.
A good portion of these buds are metal, so not as light weight as lesser quality earbuds. Still, not nearly as heavy as a pair of over the ear headphones, and still very comfortable.
Comes with 3 additional...I don't know what they are called...the cover portion thst goes into your ear canal. All are different size, so you just need to pick the one that is most comfortable.
Functionally there is a touch sensor. It works as expected and does NOT require a heavy touch.
Great product over all!!

Amazing sound, horrible battery
The sound quality on these are great. I prefer the sound on my B&O BEOPLAY EQ over these but they're still one of the best sounding earbuds I've ever tried.I had no connection issues and it was really easy to pair to my phone. The only problem is with the in ear detection. Everytime I move to fast or it shifts even a little bit in my ear, the music stops. And it happens often so I had to turn off this feature.I like that there is an app that goes with these earbuds but it is very limited. Sadly there is no adjustable EQ. Fortunately, the sound is great and I don't really feel like I need to adjust the EQ.The ANC and ambient modes work great. I don't hear anything when I have music playing.The touch controls on these are one of the best. It's one of the most responsive touch controls I've used on earbuds.The Pi5 earbuds are also really one of the best looking earbuds out there in my opinion and they're also really comfortable. I have smallish ears and I don't have any issue with the fit of these. They look like they're on the bigger side and they kind of stick out of my ears but they're not heavy at all and I can wear them for hours at a time without experiencing any ear fatigue. The case itself is kind of big and I wouldn't carry it in my pocket but I mainly use these at home and have another earbuds that I carry around with me (it would hurt a lot less if I ever loose them). The lid is a little flimsy but like I said, I don't really carry them around.The battery on these earbuds are terrible. I knew that before I purchased them and I didn't think it would be a problem but now that I have them and actually experience it, I understand how annoying it is to constantly have to take them out to recharge. For this reason alone, I'm considering returning them. I just hesitate on returning them because of all the other pros but realistically I see myself potentially not using these often in the long run due to the battery and end up buying another set of earbuds to use for day to day use.Overall, these are a great pair of earbuds. I do wish that the battery life on these are were better (which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5) but I think it's forgivable given all the pros. I'm really happy with the Pi5s and I'm even debating on getting the pi7s to compare the two. But I think you'll be happy with these earbuds.
