I got these last time. Solid build quality and the noise cancellation is pretty good. Kills the fan noise in my office with 2 computers and a 3d printer going, plus the A/C. I can't wait to test them on a flight next month. I've never been able to afford quality noise cancellation. The app is a little wonky but it works with my iphone 11 fine.

OP - thanks for catching this, Repped. Already bought one pair, and ended up loving them for the price - so, just bought 2 more pairs (at least one I will use as a gift).

The above said, for those on the fence, the ANC is good. I'm not quite as blown away as others with the ANC, but it's definitely good. I have a pair of XM3 full size headphones, and those have amazing ANC. To be fair, a lot of the professional reviews have gushed about the ANC - but w/o going into a ton of detail, I'm just not there. Also, as somebody that owns Jabra 75Ts, that I've noticed have really annoying connection issues when I use them biking, the Panas have rock-solid connections. One of the reviews I read griped about the case being cheaply made, but I don't agree... the case they come in (esp at this price) is quite nice. One annoyance is that the buds do not *easily* seat in their custom made slots... you'll drop them in and then have to fiddle with them to get them to fit perfect. If they're not in perfect, they don't charge... so, again, a minor annoyance, but an annoyance none-the-less.

Finally, the sound is quite good. Nothing that will "blow you away," but extremely competent - and, again, amazing at this price point. So, all in all, extremely competent ANC earbuds at a steal of a price under $40.
How is the mic on this guy?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

This seems to be the Amazon page - for those that want to check the reviews...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086MFZ...TTES92BQVY

At least two reviewers mentioned that one of the earbuds will just stop pairing. This is a common issue even with cheap Chinese airpod replicas from AliExpress (or even Amazon - since they sell there now too)... I would love to try these, but that issue of potentially only one bud working, less warranty because it's from Woot, as well as it not being viable for working out due to it easily falling out... Just isn't a deal for me personally

Anyone compare these to JABRA 75T? Tired of waiting for a good deal on the 75t.

How do they compare to Buds+

Mostly need these for phone calls.

How do they compare to 75t especially for calls?

I have 65T and want to upgrade

How good is the latch? I've had a couple ear bud sets with a charging case like this and they are pretty much always dead because they some unseated a little bit or the latch just straight up opens and they fall out in my purse :/

Anyone who has tried this and a Samsung Buds Live / Pro (those that have lukewarm ANC) comment on the SOUND QUALITY (not ANC quality) between these two?

I use a Buds Live and it sounds decent enough - actually sounds better than most other TWS buds I've tried, haven't tried Airpods Pro. But mostly everything about it is convenient - the fit, the wireless charging case, pairing on open. How does it compare on the usability aspect?

Asking cuz most comments about this focus on the great ANC aspect for a TWS but I'm interested in how good they actually sound and how usable they are.

P.S. If you haven't used Woot in a while and they sent you a $10 off $15 coupon (Code: JOINUS10, expires 31 Aug, YMMV) to get you back, makes this even sweeter.

Ordered one when woot last had for $39.99 and used for jogging a few times. I am quite happy with performance and comfort but they are HUGE compared to something like airpods - they look like mushrooms coming out of my ears, or maybe like Shrek, but either way they just look awkward.

You can return within 30 days, but they charge you the shipping costs for the way back.

I took these on a flight last week, ANC really struggling on takeoff, weird feedback/white noise/static sounds.

Otherwise worked great throughout my trip. The plane engine takeoff noise was the only issue.
