I did order those last Monday and received them Wednesday. They are pretty much as described. They do have the silicone tip that goes into the ear canal. Each earbud itself is probably about the size of a gumball with the tip sticking out of it. The earbud is covered with a very thin silicone sleeve that I believe keeps it more secure than AirPods with their slick surface. They have three other sets of covers with a wing device that is supposed to keep the earbud even more secure. However, getting that sleeve on and off the buds was near impossible, and frankly I didn’t think I needed the extra security enough to bother any longer. Unlike with the AirPod covers you can purchase that have to be removed to charge, these would fit in the charging case. The outside of each bud is a button. Tapping it will start/stop music and answer or end calls. Double tapping will activate Siri. Pressing on the right will skip forward a track and holding and pressing on the left earbud will skip back. It does seem you can only hear phone calls in the right earbud. The sound is quite comparable to apples earPods/AirPods. There may be a bit more bass to the anker. Reportedly, they have 3 1/2 hours of battery life and an additional 30 hours recharging in the case? The case itself is like a miniature eyeglasses case. It is about 2 inches front to back, 4 inches side to side and an inch and a half top to bottom. Just guessing… The case will go into a front pocket, but it is going to bulge. Also, they could have made it easier to flip the lid up. There is just a narrow gauge for a thumbnail to raise the lid. The buds fit securely and magnetically into pockets inside the case. They could have designed it a little easier to take the buds out. I found the same with AirPods. The case does recharge with a mini USB cable. I found pairing to Bluetooth to be very easy. When taking the bugs out of the case, they turn on and connect to one another rather quickly. I use quite a number of Bluetooth headphones and speakers, and I have never complain much about lag. I do feel there is a little more lag in these than normal. I can’t imagine it would be enough to disturb watching and listening to a movie, though. Bluetooth range is as good as my better Bluetooth devices. I have not experienced any loss of signal or breaking up. If you do receive these, note they are different than most of your buds in that they do not hang down over your earlobe. The stem goes into your ear canal at the bottom of the bud, which then fills the entireity of your outerr ear. It does protrude a bit, but it really isn’t that bad. Also, they don’t block out sound anymore then does any other buds with the stem going into your ear canal. They are very comfortable and fit very secure. I would rate these higher than AirPods, even before considering the $50 price difference. Perhaps the larger case is a negative for some. Also, anker does a much better job standing behind their products for longer than Apple. I am not sure that I recommend these truly wireless earbuds, however. After having two pair now, I think I am just as happy with ones connected by cable. I don’t fear one dropping out and being lost. I certainly felt that way about the AirPods. These I have only had a few days and used very little so far, so not enough time to really say for sure.
Feel free to ask about anything I missed or to clarify.

I didn’t see them yet on Amazon.ca, but you can preorder them on Amazon.com for $99 and it says they will be available on November 29 which is just 2 days away. They were offered via Kickstarter campagne as well this summer. If anybody buys them I hope they’ll post a review, here is the link on Amazon: ZOLO Liberty Total-Wireless Earphones, Bluetooth Earbuds with Graphene Driver Technology and 24 Hours Battery Life, Sweatproof Total-Wireless Earbuds with Smart AI Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
