Very below average battery. But with cool/practical features. I listen to podcasts while working, this is perfect for me. If you like bud live, you will like it.
I bought these twice. Once these refurbs. Once brand new. I ended up returning both. They are great if they meet your needs except for the battery life. It's truly pathetic.

Any side sleepers would recommend those earbuds? I read on scarbir reviews that those are comfy to wear while sleeping but it didn't mention if it includes side sleeping too, so I just wanna confirm if anyone here knows...
I currently have Samsung earbuds pro 2, they are compact in size but they still bother me.
Can't comment on these but I switched from buds to a headband with flat speakers. Got tired of buds falling out and it's easier to pull a headband off and not lose it if I decide to take it off while half asleep. The only two issues I've had with headbands are the speakers moving (can be sewn into place) or the band being too tight/loose (return and get a different size/brand).
Just received mine and they showed up with tons of earwax in the case and smeared on the earbud tips. I was gonna try to clean them but it looks like it seeped inside the crevices of the device as well. Really gross, they should be listing as open box rather than refurbished. 🤢
My units seem to be dead on arrival. The case doesn't light up to indicate it's receiving power or charging. Tried inserting into three different USB outlets (PC, phone charger, power outlet) and also tried using my own USB cable and nothing worked.
Recommend for phone calls alone. No one needs to hear both sides of the conversation, and it's more natural to hear your surroundings. Mine came quick and look and so far work great. I turned off the touch sensor as it would hang up when adjusting.
FYI: Ordered the black ones. When they got here I found that they were still named under the previous owner (no big deal) after i paired them i found that the left bud cuts out completely, comes back at times but with very low volume compared to the other ear bud. There is also really bad rattle coming from that same left bud. I doubt they open these up or even test then properly. I filed for a return and will be sending these back.
edit: Ended up buying new pixel buds from best buy for $80
I bought some the last fire sale. I think they're the worst buds. Your ears need to be a particular size to hold the buds in. One side wouldn't stay in, max sound was on the lower end, and one of the buds had a continuous connection issue. Good luck buyers.
The idea of having earbuds that don't actually go in your ear, coupled with the potential for a better soundstage appears to be the selling point. However, owning them I am not disappointed with the battery life, just the fact that they don't get very loud and that's an issue for noisy environments.
I switched to these from AirPods Pro and very happy with them. No pressure buildup inside the ear canal as it is wide open. Love the fact I can hear naturally without any electronic pass through. Sound quality is nice with good bass. The only downside is when things are noisy it comes right through due to the design.
I have these. They are good headphones to wear when you have to be able to hear enough ambient noise to know that your children are not destroying the house

BTW here's the manual (not included in the box):

I hope this style of earbud does not go away because they are SO much better than the stuffy earplug type
