Usually, when I get home, the first thing I do is take my bra off (Ladies, you know what I?m saying here! Again, dont expect Bose or Shure sound, but I use them with a Samsung GS8 phone while listening to Pandora (Rush and Dream Theater) and they sound wonderful. (Time for a new pair?) Given my experience with the prior model and this one, I think the charging mat for the AirPods probably works as well as the phone and watch charger. Now on to my review. I have been buying the Hearos for years in the flesh color. I can fit BOTH my headsets, as well as my digital voice recorder, inside this case, which makes it really convenient for traveling. It?s a perfect fit. I originally ordered two colors of this Kaci 3 in my normal 6. I?ve worn them for 7 hour flight days and can?t really tell a difference. I didn?t expect it to be anything high-quality or fancy.
