I bought these as a cheap backup pair but I'm pretty surprised... Sound quality - genuinely really good, especially for the price - obviously you're not going to get high-end audiophile levels of sound quality but I you're not going to run into issues where the earbuds sound tinny (the bass is great) The complete soundstage is a meh and you are going to lose the very fine details but overall the sound quality is very acceptable The fit is very secure but also slightly painful, and yes I've tried all of the three tips - this might be the only thing stopping these pair of earbuds from getting a 5 stars from me. If you want to use these earbuds to work out then go for it, it didn't budge a bit for me when I took them out to run - but do keep in mind it's going to be a bit uncomfortable and feel like it's constantly applying pressure on your ears. Battery is as advertised, the build quality is made from cheap feeling plastics but they had to cut a few corners somehow, and it's not like I'm buying earbuds to touch the case sensually. It is still overall very sturdy and the hinge/magnets all seem very strong. Transparency mode is very impressive - I feel like it might be better than my usual hearing without earbuds on at all. The noise cancelling is acceptable for the price, it works as a feature and it is very noticeable once it's turned on, but you're still gonna hear noisy surroundings, only slightly muffled - once the music is on though, the background noises are pretty easy to overlook. There is a very small amount of hiss with the ANC on though, almost like a desk fan blowing in another room. I find that because of this hissing, it's actually more quiet keeping noise cancelling off than on during late night times when I am in my room in near silence. If you're thinking about buying these, well JLab has never disappointed me.
