I see them for $150 on verizon wireless and want wireless earphones for my iphone 7 plus when it arrives instead f getting those crappy air pods that look like they will get lost easily. So, for those that have them, how are they? Is the sound quality good?
 
Got them as a gift

They're regular. You can't tell the difference with music unless you listen to FLAC on quality headphones
 
I have a pair that I wear for the gym. I can usually wear them for the whole week (4-5 workouts) before the battery dies. Charges quick. 

Quality is alright. Nothing amazing but I wasn't really looking for studio quality sound in the first place. 

Only thing that bugs me is the fit a little bit.. definitely not for everybody. Specifically the little ear hanger part seems to have some wiggle room on the back of my ears but nothing dramatic where I'd need to return them. Comes with different sized ear buds for those with big *** ear holes

 and also comes with a small zip up carrying case so I can just throw them in my center console/gym bag without worrying about messing the cord up. 

I wouldn't rule out any other legitimate suggestions from other posters. Unless you really want the headphones because they're "beats".. then go for it.

Keep in mind the Powerbeats 3 are coming out soon. The 2's are good overall. I use poweramp to increase the sound and volume of my music, so it sounds better than stock players. The normal retail price of $200 is overkill but they are good for $100. They are the perfect form factor for my commute and exactly what I was looking for in the gym. You get about 5 hours on a full charge. In a pinch, you can also get a hour worth of listening with a 15 minute charge. According to their site, Powerbeats 3 should get up to 12 hours. As someone who had his headphones die on the train earlier today, that's definitely worth the money over the 2s.
