I was excited about these before release and bought them when they were released for full price ($229.99). I'm still happy with my purchase.

This is a very niche crowd who would be going for these versus any of the other very good Android ear buds.

My review is the first in the reviews list, copied here:

This review is from an Android user perspective. If I was an iPhone user I would just be using the latest version of Airpods (for open ear experience) and Airpods Pro for closed ear with ANC. However after hearing latest reviews of the Airpod Pros ambient mode, maybe I would be just down to the one set of buds.

But I'm not an iPhone user. I hate iPhones.
I've tried the Airpods with Android and the experience just sucks. I can't even see battery level of the buds from the phone.

So I'm left with looking for anything else.

Here's what I've tried:

Jabra Evolve 65T (closed ear) (first set of true wireless earbuds I've owned)
Jabra Elite 75T (closed ear)

JLab Go Air Pop (closed ear)

Tribit FlyBuds C1 (closed ear)
Tribit FlyBuds C2 (open ear)

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro (closed ear)
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live (open ear)

JBL Live Pro 2 (closed ear)

Sony WF-1000XM4 (closed ear, foam tips. Stock tips too uncomfortable, replaced with small Comply foam tips)

And finally this LG Tone Free T90 (closed ear)

Order of importance for me on features of earbuds is:

1) Comfort
2) Sound quality
3) Mic quality
4) ANC
5) App available for monitoring or changing functionality

For open ear the options are the Tribit FlyBuds C2 or the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. I tried the Buds Live first and liked them so much I bought two pairs. Then I tried the Tribit FlyBuds C2. They were more comfortable but had slightly worse sound quality. So for my pair of open ear earbuds, I reach for my Tribit FlyBuds C2.

For closed ear (which is why I'm writing this review), depending if I want ANC or not. If I want ANC, I reach for the Sony WF-1000XM4 with the Comply tips. Stock tips medium fit and didn't leak sound via the app leak test. Small stock tips leaked. I bought the small Comply tips and they are even larger than the medium stock tips. They fit and make wearing the Sony's bearable for hours. They are still heavy and I know I'm wearing them every second they are in. So again, if I need absolute silence, I go for the Sony WF-1000XM4.

However, I rarely need silence. So lets go through the others.

JLab Go Air Pop
These are fantastic for what they are, cheap earbuds without ANC. If I need a throwaway pair these are great. But not day to day usage great.

Tribit FlyBuds C1
No matter the tip (only stock tips tried), I couldn't get them to not feel too large or make a seal. These don't have ANC. They just felt like they would fall out. I never reach for these.

Jabra Evolve 65T
These introduced me to the world of true wireless earbuds. The sound sucks. These are in the vault to never be used again.

Jabra Elite 75T
Better than the 65T but not comfortable. I bought some SpinFit tips to replace the stock tips and comfort was better but sound quality was much worse. I gave these to my wife as I bought the gold versions on sale and she needed earbuds for her Android.

JBL Live Pro 2
I got these on sale. ANC was very good. However fit reminded me of the Tribit FlyBuds C1. I could always tell they were in my ears and they felt like they were going to fall out. I also gave these to my wife and she now uses these instead of the Jabra Elite 75T earbuds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
These are very good. Very light. Whatever material they make them with doesn't irritate my ears like it does for a good amount of people. ANC is pretty good. Not near as good as the Sony's but still good. Sound quality good. I could wear these for hours without issue.

LG Tone Free T90
Finally, the review for the product I'm leaving the review for. The ANC in these is worse than the Buds2 Pro and definitely worse than the Sony's. I'd say they are about on par for the JBL Live Pro 2 for ANC. The case is great. I like the light feature to zap the earbuds between usage. Comfort these are the best for closed ear. Comfort for open ear goes to the Tribit FlyBuds C2.

End of the day when I want closed ear experience, I reach for the LG Tone Free T90 earbuds.
If I am working (working from home) and want the best ANC, I reach for the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds.
If I want open ear experience I reach for the Tribit FlyBuds C2.
If I want the smallest earbuds that don't make it obvious I have earbuds in, I reach for the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
