"The sound and fit are great!! Only complaint would be that when I’m on a call, some people say that I sound like I’m far away and the second complaint would be about the earbuds not having volume control like a slide on the top of the buds would be amazing! Other than that these pack a bass punch!"
"Very outstanding loud balanced ear buds better then dime 3s solid performance. Had for a few months now no issues or mess ups Bluetooth is outstanding no dropping connection unlike the jib 2 xt to. These headphones or ear buds are outstanding just wish it was method 540 anc came in red or real tree camouflage. Solid buy for 150$"
"I already have the method 360 and had to get the 540. The size is much better i love how slim it is. The battery lasts really long and the recharge is fast. The different modes are great and the sound quality is perfect! 11 out of 10."
"Sound is good when they work, however, the sensors are so bad that they constantly pause and unpause or simply register that you’ve taken the earbuds out and stop playing that way. Can’t even make it through one song outdoors as I assume it’s the warmth of the sunlight causing phantom inputs. None of these issues would be a problem if you could choose to disable the touch sensor in the iQ app but nope no luck there, only get to choose which shortcuts you want per number of taps. Probably will look to refund them for something that actually works."
"Solid Quality, good bass and full sound, the ANC mode works well for any loud environments, and the magnetic closing case keep my ear buds secure at work, no worry about losing them."
"This product is amazing! The sound quality works like a charm. I connect them with my Samsung s25 Ultra Smartphone and when I'm travelling, I watch my shows and movies on it with the ANC 540's. Fully immersive mode lets me be in the movie or show I'm watching, enhancing the overall experience."
"I had high hopes for these earphones, expecting superior bass quality and impressive acoustic sound. Unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations in both areas. The sound quality lacks depth and richness, which is disappointing. Moreover, the in-ear fit is not only unreliable but also quite uncomfortable. I find myself having to constantly readjust them in my ears to prevent them from slipping out, which is frustrating during use. This frequent need for adjustment disrupts my listening experience and makes it difficult to enjoy my music. Overall, they feel more like overpriced earphones than a high-quality audio product, and I cannot help but feel let down by this purchase."
"They feel comfortable to wear, design is cool and dont fall out when wearing them. Bulkier case than i expected. Color is good, sound quality is good, itd be cool if the AI had the ability to play, skip, and add music to a playlist in my apps."
"Best audio, good batter, excellent fit, and decent ANC but it’s stunning and disappointing that the controls do not allow for touch-to-mute. This is software problem so not difficult yet it is simply not provided rugged from the factory or an optional manually-added touch control. I had to return them for this exact reason."
"I like the new features added compared to the original 360's like the magnet base, new charging port and slimmer design but the magnet for the earbuds feels weaker, just slightly compared to the 360's and the battery on the earbuds don't seem as great but that could just be me. Overall I think they're still great and an improvement on the 360's"
