Everything else is very similar or unchanged from last time around: the design is nearly identical, battery life still tops out at 30 hours, and the buttons and controls all work the same way.

The app plays about 10 seconds of ringtone-esque orchestral music, then displays a “good seal” or “bad seal” result for each earbud. My test resulted in deep bass and less treble, which did make my music sound fuller. Take an earbud out of your ear, and your music will stop; put the bud back in your ear, and it will resume.

The buttons are mushy, which I can understand since that means they don’t click loudly as you’re listening to music. The music control buttons can be a little cumbersome.

Music can be said to be the universal language: while our tastes in tunes may differ, there are few people who don’t have their own favorite songs to listen to. New technologies have increased the quality of that music — however, we can’t all afford the types of speakers and headphones that offer the most superior sound.
