Because of the great sound quality I really wanted to give these earbuds a great review. But at this price point more should be expected.First, the good. The case and earbuds both look beautiful. Nothing flashy but they are just designed very attractively.And the sound quality of the earbuds is absolutely great. Everything I listened to was very crisp and clear. The highs are nice and separated and not tinny or pitchy. The earbuds have surprisingly good bass. I was pleasantly surprised by that.The noise cancellation also works well. It works even better if you use the app and turn it up to full.And gets things to the app. Which is nicely set up and works very well (I think it's Android only, so no IOS support yet.) But this is were one of the issues pops up. The settings are divided into sets. For single tap and double tap you can customize play/pause, volume up and down and next and previous track.For triple tap and long press. You can assign ANC, ANC off and transparency mode (yep all three tied together as one sadly) , game mode on and off, and voice assistant.Problem is I want to have transparency by itself with just an on and off and I want it as a double tap.Why they chose to split the gestures into two separate areas I can't understand. Other earbuds that have gesture customizing let you choose anything for any tap or long press.Like so many recently, these earbuds have locked together ANC and transparency mode. That wouldn't be an issue if they didn't put an ANC off between them.Transparency mode is a must with earbuds because it keeps people from having to remove the earbuds every time we need to talk to someone or hear an announcement or something else in our surroundings.But it should bee a simple on off. If we're having to shut ANC off and then taps again to bring up transparency mode then it just becomes easier to grab the earbuds out defeating the purpose of transparency mode.I don't understand the ANC off option. If I'm listening to music, I want ANC on. If I'm needing to hear my surroundings, I went transparency on. Turning one on should turn off the other as my best pair of earbuds does.The other issue is battery life. It is NOT 8hrs. It's probably more like five. These should have better battery life.I don't use earbuds to make calls so I leave that for someone else to delve into.

The NUU Buds B | Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds are extremely comfortable in your ear and have touch responsive controls on each earpiece that work quite well. The sound, throughout the audible spectrum, is good with full bass, crisp midtones and only a slight bit of flattening of high frequency tones. The active noise cancelling works very well although I wish the in-ear notifications for the different noise cancellation settings were spoken words rather than descending tones. The app through which you can control, and reset some of the finger press control functions of, the earbuds works well on Android devices.If that was all to a review of these headphones this would be a 5-star rating BUT there are several issues that unfortunately diminish the overall experience of listening to sounds with the NUU Buds B | Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds.The first issue is the Bluetooth reception which I found to be intermittently lacking in that one, or both, earbuds would lose sound for very brief, but nonetheless noticeable, periods throughout a listening afternoon. There is no discernible reason causing this drop-off but they did occur frequently enough to be bothersome.The second issue is the battery life. I've run through full charges four times so far, each in single afternoon, and at 5 to 6 hours the earbuds did not live up to the advertised 8 hour playtime on a single charge.The third issue I have with these earbuds is that the available app to control the earbuds is only available for Android devices. Hopefully NUU will come out with an app that works for iOs as well.Finally, a minor issue for me was the lack of voice notifications for different settings. I've already mentioned, above, the descending tones for noise cancellation but there is also a setting for game/music which provides no acknowledgments at all of the chosen setting. This is more of a style, rather than a sound quality, issue because after a bit of fiddling you can recognize the different settings by the quality of the sounds to which you are listening.All in all the NUU Buds B | Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds are actually quite a nice pair of earbuds which are plagued by two problems that can hopefully be fixed through software corrections. Even with these problems I am finding myself using these earbuds more and more frequently in lieu of other earbuds that I own because of the ease of control and sound quality. It is only because of the occasional dropped connections, the less-than stellar battery life and the lack of an app for iOs that keeps these earbuds from a solid 5 star rating and, instead, have made me rate them at 4-stars.
