Just got the XR500's about an hour or so ago and here are my initial impressions:
Build Quality - seems good so far. I plan on using these daily at the gym. I am using the large ear tips as my canals are a little bit larger. It is mildly uncomfortable after about 40 minutes or so but nothing that would stop me from using them an hour or so at a time. It is nice that once paired they do find my phone (iPhone SE) almost immediately.
Sound - the bass is just way too heavy... and I like bass. If you're listening to bass heavy songs expect to really get a good dose of bass with these. You can't use these full blast unless you plan on becoming deaf. Overall the sound is just OK. I wasn't expecting these to come close to my Etymotic HF-5's but I am content with the quality. It's nice to also have the built in microphone for calls.
Overall - These will suit my need of bluetooth headphones for the gym. The price was right for me. I don't expect them to last forever (especially at this price point). I will be certain to be cautious to not overcharge them like the directions state. Like others I'll give them a 7/10 mostly because of value and just OK sound.
