Master & Dynamic Earbuds MW07 True Wireless Earbuds

EDIT: I continue to love these in how they are designed, fit and ease of use. But this is my second set and my last one. The first few days held a charge for couple hours which was okay for my purposes. But 2 days ok started loosing charge after 45 minutes! I had the charging box in my pocket which is supposed to act as a charge reservoir so that you can charge without being plugged into an outlet. When placed in box at 45 minute the 3 lights showed green in the center and a red on either side (which means the buds should have still had a charge in them). After leaving in box for half hour, checked the status and there was no increase in battery. Only after plugging into an outlet did I get a full charge again. I am tempted to purchase the more expensive newer versions of these in hopes they have fixed the issues, as I truly liked them that much, but as to this set......I just can't recommend them regardless of cost. INITIAL REVIEW: The earbuds which have the controls in the back and you tap once for pause, twice for volume up, etc have the worst ergonomics yet seem to be the prevalent way similar earbuds are designed. There is nothing more frustrating than decreasing volume only to inadvertently reverse the chapter for example. In my experience ones designed in this manner simply do not function and it is next to impossible to be able to rely on the "touches" to achieve the desired results. In comparison these have actual physical buttons on the side of the bud. Where as before it would be a crap shoot with these I know my actions will bring about the desired result. They are comfortable to wear. As I care little for the noise cancellation feature and in fact would prefer to hear traffic when outside walking, I can only comment that at typical volume levels I was still able to hear outside the ear bud enough so that I could remove it to hear completely. The battery is horrid. I am averaging a couple hours before a recharge is needed. On the last two nights after removing it from charger, I didn't even make it 45 minutes before the earbuds stopped. Typically if I put the the bud back in their case, it will show a green light in the center and two orange ones on either side. It should have 3 green lights as the case should be fully charged. I will give it a few more days and then will have to return them despite how much I otherwise like them. I don't think it is too much to rely on at least a couple hours before the battery dies. On the first pair which I returned, the left ear bud failed to operate at all and the range was very, very poor. With these both work although a couple times one will go dead for a few seconds. I also get this really wierd woosh noise that I have no idea what it signifies. These look very attractive, I have the tortoise shell color and they blend well with my hair color. The smallest cover works best in my ears and I anticipate the larger than normal sizes of covers provided. from XX Large to XX Small, mine had 5 different sizes which should make it easy to get a comfortable fit. These have so many good features that I like more than any others I have tried that I truly wish that I could get them 5 stars. Alas the issues are of such scope that you may want to forgo this version or wait until they are drastically reduced in price.
