Ratings and reviews

The August update feels more like a token "we're totally still developing this!" gesture than anything intended to address a real problem. Why would move most of the feature controls from the home screen into a new tab entirely? That makes no sense whatsoever. What, now I have to sift through pages to find the equalizer? Such incompetence. Also, the firmware update BROKE my right bud; sound quality plummeted, and ambient sound won't work right with it at all. What in the absolute heck?

Edit: The Feb 25 update broke the size of my widgets on my LG phone. Functionality otherwise intact. Original review: The app and plugin work just fine. Function is limited, which doesn't allow the user to mess things up. More options for the headphones, such as HOLD for 3 seconds to BLOCK touches, would be fantastic.

I would love to give this 5 stars. Up until lately, they were almost perfect! I was super pleased with sound quality of music, ease of use & call quality. Lately they have become a bit of a hastle to use for phone calls (which is the #1 reason I purchased). It's hit or miss, I haven't noticed a pattern or reason for the calling issues. Example, last night my dad called, I answered but the quality was horrible & worst of all, they weren't in sync. Left ear then 1 or 2 seconds later, right ear.
