I bought some for the gym, but wasn't impressed with the sound quality even when playing around with the EQ settings on the app.
The soundcore ones sound about the same for a lot less.
I also have the over the ear Sony XM3's and they sounded a lot better than either.
I initially thought I liked the jabras better but after a lot more listening these are the winner. They are much more crisp and clear in the sound, the jabra has better bass but the overall quality in sound is superior on these. I highly suggest making your own equalizer to fine tune your preferences and the app is good for doing that.
One thing I don't care for on these vs the jabra is the jabra are plug n play, these have way too many unnecessary features IMO. The app setup if giving to my dad who is 65 (which was initial reason I purchased) is too much. The one feature they don't have and is most helpful is the locating feature of the case like jabra has - Helped me find out if I left them at the office once or twice before.
As far as sound quality these are fantastic though. I can't attest to the wear and tear aspect and if they're good for working out and sweating as I only use the jabras for that (left them in my pockets and went through the wash and they still work) so these are for my own listening and jamming out while working. Also, they are much more sensitive when you take them out and I frequently hear them playing on my desk if a coworker comes by to talk and I remove them. Know I may be pointing out a lot of negatives but just giving info from my experience.
If you're like me and prefer ear buds to big headphones then I wouldn't think twice at this price. I can't hardly listen to cheap buds anymore after these. In my opinion these are a solid buy at this cost which is about what I paid for mine (also refurb).

Decided that unless Sony changes the battery supplier for their buds, never going back to them however good the sound quality and experience is.
I've had the xm4 and the xm5. Returned the xm4, I like the xm5 more.
I have a pair for music and love them.
