Keep in mind that they also mention an hour of playback with five minutes of charging. It's not always healthy for your ears to use headphones for several hours on end, so short breaks to charge aren't the worst.
They are great sounding earbuds, I thought the ANC was just "good" until I tried the APP where it's great. The transparency is pretty good and the sound quality in general I felt is actually better for the type of music I generally listen to (electronic, hip hop) vs the APPs.
As far as syncing, it's fairly standard. iPhones recognize them when you open the case nearby, but otherwise, they just act like normal bluetooth headphones. No extra apple fluff, its not tied to your icloud & you can't switch between devices like you can with with the Airpods and APPs.
^^ This was mostly why I chose the Airpods and not the Beats Studio Buds. If I hadn't gotten the APPs though, I'd have considered these an upgrade over my 1st gen Airpods, despite losing the icloud stuff and ear detection. They're great headphones, that look sick IMO. Its too bad the functionality isn't there.
OH YEAH and the mic sucked. Like it was really bad.
