Wouldn't recommend them.
I bought a pair end of last year and they're pretty much useless for playing white noise when falling asleep. They cut out or become staticy almost every time. As soon as you lay on your side and the earbud gets covered, it's an almost immediate disconnect.
I got my pair replaced through their support (which by the way was super easy to deal with and they sent out a replacement within 2 days via Amazon), but the replacement has the same issues.

Thanks for the info. I have the Bose buds and I actually like to use just one in the ear facing up since I don't like the pressure from the pillow and bud on my ear that's on the pillow, so I will give these a try and return if needed. That's pretty shoddy that reviewers like CNN did not seem to fully test these and do note the disconnect issue in their reviews

I have these, they are great. I've used them for over a year and no issues whatsoever. I even bought a 2nd pair for a back-up as I left a previous set amazfit zenbuds at a hotel once, and didn't like not having a set when I got home. As previously mentioned, the new version is out soon with a pre-order discount.
Bluetooth connectivity is weak as first comment mentioned but in sleep mode playing the preloaded audio I have no problem. I assume the smaller size limits what tech they can fit in there.
The right earbud on 2-3 pairs always gets quieter over time but I realized that a good clean with alcohol (Anker even recommended me to drip a drop of alcohol into the mesh) and using a brush to get some bristles past the mesh made them good as new.
I just picked up an Anker refurbished pair before realizing the above but will return them after seeing the A20 announcement above.

Go for a third replacement. I think they have quality control issues. I had the exact same experience with my first pair. However the replacement through Amazon has been night and day different. Work fantastic. Worth it.
I'm a side sleeper so I only sleep with one in (not one in the ear down on the pillow) and that's pretty much good enough sound suppression.

I had a lot of these issues until I realized most of it had to do with the tips. Idk why but their positioning cut off the sound when I was on my side to the point I had them warrantied for a defective bud. But then I realized it was the fit/tip and all of this was alleviated with sonicfoam tips which made them more comfortable, positioned the speaker to my ear properly, and didn't require pushing in so much to interrupt the bluetooth.
Anyway, only buy these if desperate. As the Anker A20 comes out for preorder in a few weeks
