So I have had these for about two weeks now. So a few take aways from my experience with these.
Positive:
1. Great Sound. Even though I have not actually owned the Beats Wireless Ear Buds (Power Beats3 are the best comparison), I had the chance to check them out for a few minutes a few days prior to receiving these. I loved the tone the Beats produced. Nice blend of lows and highs along with mids. When I received the Senso Earphones, I was blown away at how well they sounded in comparison (maybe not quite as good as the Power Beats which I tried along with my phone with the same music as the Senso pair but much better than what you would think for a set that costs less than 1/6th the cost).
2. Ease of use. These are pretty easy to use. All the controls are on the right side ear bud. You have the main multi-purpose button along with the volume up/down button (double as the skip forward/backward buttons). On the bottom side of the same unit is the connector for the charger (under a small rubber cover which can be somewhat problematic to handle; more on that below). The multi-purpose button is used for pausing/playing music (by just pushing the button once and immediately releasing) and bringing up calling or voice control (depending on your phone; since I use a Galaxy S7 Edge, it pulls up the Google voice control which is nice) by pressing and holding the button for about a second or so.
3. Comfort. I have smaller ears, so the small ear buds work well for me (even though I could use the medium size though they got uncomfortable after a while). I do use these more as a bluetooth ear piece than full on ear buds because of the amount I tend to drive but I do like to have them as a full headset when I want to listen to music while I work alone at times.
4. These are very much water resistant. Because I work outside in the rain, I wanted something that would hold up to some water (though I wear rain gear). I do get quite damp, especially when the rain is heavy. I have not even noticed these being affected by water.
5. The range. This is something I really cannot testify to other than an experience this evening. I started playing music while I was doing laundry. I went out to our washing machine which is on the same side of the house as my room but divided by a wall. I had not realized I left my phone on my desk in my room until I made couple of moves that made my music break up a little. But in all, it kept going with really not a lot of breaking up. A nice surprise.
Negatives:
1. Lack of battery level until battery is low. I have yet to find a way to know what the battery level is at whenever I want. The only time it notifies me of the level is when the battery level is low. This can be annoying on so many levels. First and foremost is that I am usually away from a charger for long periods at a time. So when the battery notifies me that it is low, I just have to turn it off (because every few minutes or so it will chime in that the battery is low being rather annoying). My previous bluetooth headset would notify me each time I powered them on as to what level they were at (high, medium or low).
2. The multi-purpose button, though blended in to make both sides look uniform, tends to blend in too well. Because the ear bud is in my ear, I have to find the button by feeling around. I have found myself on multiple occasions missing the button trying to push the area forward of the button. I have also found myself pressing the button once to bring up voice control and accidentally starting my music (but this is more out of habit because my previous headset had more buttons including separate buttons for play/pause and voice control vs the same button for both).
3. Because I do use this as a bluetooth headset for driving, leaving just the right earbud in and the left out creates a situation in which the left side will weight down on the right side. As a result I have to put the left side within my collar on my shirt to leave slack in the wire (but this is really because these were really meant to be used as a full headset).
4. Music can cut in and out if you just started playing right after turning on the headset. But to solve this problem, just wait several seconds (maybe 15-30 seconds) after the headset connects before starting to play music. Then it works like a charm.
So far, I cannot say much about the battery life as I do tend to use these differently than my last headset (LG Tone Pro which tended to last me about two weeks between charges). I have found that I am charging these about once a week, maybe a little longer. But I am using these for more music through the day not to mention I have them on a good chunk of the day as I need hands free while working to receive and make calls as needed.
Overall, I have been pleased with these. When I was forced to find a new headset (my previous headset broke off at the right arm), I was looking for something that had sound similar to that of the Beats but at a fraction of the price. These fit the bill well. I totally recommend these, especially if you do not want to spend the $200 for the pricier Beats.

Lifespan is short if you workout and sweat a lot.
*UPDATE/BOUGHT A NEW ONE (lightning deal for only $22!) 1/30/2018Alright, I'll keep this brief and keeping my stars the same (3 stars)Pros: Sound quality and fitCons: Bluetooth connection time akes 4 - 8 seconds, sometimes even 20 seconds. Battery life = wow, I'm not sure if I received a bad pair, but I'm having to charge my lightning deal senso twice a day and that's with only 2 hours of usage time! I guess i received a lightning deal version?*UPDATE (gift bought Xmas for my cousing) :: 12/25/17No update to stars because he does make a good point on the cons. Bought this for my cousin since he and I will be running a marathon on May 2018, and he needs a sports bluetooth buds instead of the cheap $5 earphones he's been using for years. According to him:Pros: Sound quality and noise isolation. He said he can sleep in the bus even when there's no music. Battery life is superb, and he said that he showered with it before so props for it being real nice and water resistant. Blueetooth connectivity takes only a second.Cons: his ears are SUPER small that the little ear hook thing for the ear doesn't even touces any parts of his ear. he wishes that it's adjustable or changeable.*UPDATE: 11/15/17 -- 3 months of usage almost everyday and it diedAlright. Lowering my stars to 3 now. As the update title say, it died.Here I was all stretched and foam rolled, about to do my 5 mile run.I tried turning it on and nothing. Nada. I tried to charge it but there's no red indication light that it's charging, so I figure maybe the LED light died. I went about my run using a wired earphones instead. An hour later, thinking it's probably somewhat charged...still nothing. Pressed hard on the on/off button. Still nothing. Threw it away and will try out a different brand, but I may come back and purchase a new Senso again, though not now.*UPDATE: 10/26/17 --- 2 months of usage almost everydayIt's still holding up. However, bringing my stars down to 4 now. See reasons below:1. Bluetooth connectivity to my phone isn't so quick anymore. I mean it DOES connect, but it takes a while and a couple turning off and on of the earphone before it actually connects. One time I thought it connected (since the robotic lady AI voice said "connected"), but my music was blasting for 2 minutes at my cubicle! Finally my coworker joked and asked if I'm trolling them, letting me know that my music is on cranked up speaker mode! So embarrassed! Not to mention, I was new to the company too!2. The battery doesn't last as long anymore. As soon as I hit 50% (which is supposedly and probably 3 to 4 hours of usage) the battery drain becomes ridiculous, and it will only last for at least 1.5 hours of usage.Overall though, it's still good and splash (and maybe water) proof. Used this when it was pouring out one time while I was running for 8 miles training for my marathon and it survived!Original Review: 8/18/17AMAZING!! Wow, I was a little skeptic at first since I've purchased similar bluetooth earphones like this but of different brands and the sound quality wasn't good. I decided to take a chance because of the reviews and I don't regret a single thing. Hands down the best and most affordable (and durable) Bluetooth earphones. I received it right when I was about to head to the gym to do my lifting and 5 mile cardio. Decided to test how good these are by putting them on my most intense and sweatiest workout and it held up! Here's my breakdown after a couple of days of using them.IMPORTANT: These do not have an ACTIVE noise cancelling while listening to music, meaning it doesn't have capability for blocking out noise from the outside. The noise cancelling is for the calling only, similar to our smartphones' noise cancelling capability when on a call. However, the earbuds will be able to block out SOME noise--but that's because they're the in ear tip that goes in the holes of our ears. If these have an active noise cancelling, it will cost hundreds of bucks as those are of a different technology that requires extra engineering (mic for listening for outside noise/audio frequency).Pros:Sound quality--mind blownComfort--impeccableSecured to the ear--it won't fall!Battery life--more than 8 hours for sure...been using it for 3 days now, 3 - 4 hours each day and I'm only down to 60% according to my iPhoneComes with bonus 3 ft. lightning cable and car usb charger and carrying case with extra different sized budsCall quality is HDSmall Cons:- At pitch black, dark room, wearing my glasses, I noticed that the blue Bluetooth light blinks every 10 or 15 seconds--this is located at the front of right side. Not that big of a con, but maybe have dimmer steady light or have it off? It's a little distracting when I was watching my movie on my laptop.- I wish I have the ability to change up the loop thingie for the ear (i.e. remove it or change it to a different color), but this just my preferenceConclusion:Overall, I highly recommend to grab one or two of these! Great quality, superior sound, and affordable price compared to those branded ones *cough cough* beats or bose *cough cough*
