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.
Helpful review. Have you tried the microphone quality (how others hear you during a call)

I pulled the trigger on these. Initially, the price seems to be great for these with several plusses:
ANC (which reviews well), good sound quality, good battery life.

However, after another 30 minutes of research, I have canceled my order for a few reasons:
User reviews are not great. Too many seem to have issues after a few months.
Which leads to return options, which are decidedly worse with Woot over Amazon. If this was an Amazon purchase, I would not have canceled.

Also, the price on Amazon has dropped dramatically recently with limited stock. For a product that has not been around very long (<1 year availability on Amazon), this seems odd. For me, it indicates they have had too many returns and are no longer offering the product when 3rd party stock depletes and sent their stock to Woot (which will mostly eliminate returns due to the 30 day policy with Woot).

Ill hold off for an Amazon deal on ANC buds.

I want to purchase but not pay for $6 shipping. I have Amazon prime.
I had the same issue. Press the Amazon Pay, it just bills your Amazon account and it allows for free Prime shipping.
Also the app was very glitchy when going through checkout, worked way better on desktop.

Bought these a few weeks back when they were on sale on WOOT for similar price. Having tried tons of TWS earbuds, the ANC is probably the best part of these. Sound quality on these is decent but they're not the highest. They do get loud enough fort me which is always something I look for. I like the fit which obviously is different for most people's ears but they do protrude out of your ears a decent amount.

Look a risk and bought a pair the last time these buds were on sale at Woot. ANC is good, they do stick out quite a bit, and for the price, I'm happy with them. They are backups to my Airpods Pro when traveling, for the ANC.

Be sure to download the mobile app and update the firmware to turn off the crazy bright blinking lights.

Mine said $6 shipping after logged in with Amazon. I backed out to Slickdeals to see if free shipping was advertised (it is) and when I returned to Woot, I clicked my cart and shipping was updated to free.
Thanks! I'll try this

Got these last time. Steal at the price. I like them more than my Sony wf1000xm3 because the touch buttons are fully customizable. I like to have the option of play/pause and switching ANC on/off on both sides. Also the mic seems to be better for voice calls on these.

Black was sold out but in for a Grey. Will give it a go. Work in the same room as my wife now so hoping the ANC helps.
