I prefer headphones over earbuds because living in NYC and taking the subway everyday you need as much of your own personal sounds than the sound of city and the people. But I needed earbuds for when I travel light and these were the best thing ever. I had not seen a lot of people talk about the Flame2. I would have figured someone would have done a follow up. So I just went on Amazon and did some comparison shopping.

These aren't noise cancelling, they are noise isolation meaning that you can hear background noises but they can be drowned out enough but what you are listening to without messing up your groove. I found them great at blocking out street noises, but I tend to have my volume turned up high. With these I actually had to turn them down a few notches so I wouldn't go deaf; so that's a plus in my book.
Speaking of which; putting them on was tricky at first since I've never had earbuds like these. You do get used to them, plus it helps that they come with a variety of ear tips that you use to customize your fit. So once you got your fit figured out, walking around with them on was just the best. You didn't feel any pressure on your ears, they didn't feel like they were falling out at any point. You can walk or run with these on with extreme confidence.
I've never had a real chance to test out the battery life, but I had them running while doing errands for half the day and they didn't fall below 90% when I was done. So for about 3-4 hours straight my battery was going strong. The controls were easy to use once you got a hang of them. You had volume controls on the top of the right ear piece that also doubled as your rewind fast forward buttons when held down. Using them to answer calls was just as simple as pressing the On switch. Using them for Google voice was just fantastic, might have played with that way too much. They did not work well with Bixby on my Samsung Note 8
Pairing these was quick and easy. Once you have them paired they connect right away. I believe they can also be paired through NFC touch on your phone, which I found awkward to do. The bluetooth connection did give me 1 issue, while listening to one of my favorite tracks, Band Maid 'Choose Me', there were a drops that lasted for about a millisecond. And it did happen it did not ruin the track, it was almost seamless. It doesn't really happen often so that could be a testament to the quality and strength of the bluetooth V5.0 connection.
