I had a pair of Joybird and lasted a long time, but they dies and had to get a new one. All the reciews here were saying they are amazing and online reviews were good. The underlining issue is the sound on the left or right are louder so there is a balance issue. I thought it must of been me, until I actually went onto reddit and thousands have the same issue. So if you buy, open in store, listen to them, then place into the charging pack for about 10 mins then take out and try again, if it doesnt work then you can just exchange in store. Otherwise you'll be making multiple trips. Im about to head back to get my first replacement, after 3 hours after me buying a first pair.
