I picked these up on "Deal of the Day" for $39.99 (Half price). But even at full price I find they are a good buy.
I got them to use on my daily workouts. I use them to listen to music while I exercise. I use them with my Galaxy S7 Edge phone. I have never had a problem pairing them with this device.
I have also never had a problem pairing them with the left ear bud, once I learned how to properly insert them in the charging case (more on this shortly).
They are comfortable enough for my use, and I could see wearing them for several hours - but would prefer a good pair of over-the-ear headphones for watching movies.
The quality of the sound with both earbuds in, and properly seated, is very good.
Properly seated the noise isolation is very, very good. It is so good that I have a hard time hearing what people are saying. As a result, I usually just use the right bud while in the fitness room so I can be polite with my neighbors. The sound quality with one earbud is good (but not as good as with both). If I am alone, I use both buds.
Battery life I believe is as stated (4.5hrs). A couple of times I ran them for 4hrs at moderate volume and got no notice of any problem.
I have used them as far as 20 feet from my phone, and they have remained connected. I tried them in another room, with a wall between me and the phone at a distance of 12ft, and they remained connected.
There have been a few reviews reporting pairing issues with the left earbud. It should be noted that both buds have to be properly charged to pair and operate. Unfortunately it is easy to mistake the charge state of the buds in the charging box. The LEDs will be off when fully charged, and the same will be true if they are uncharged. To properly charge them they have to be properly positioned on the charging pins in the box. If the buds can be "wiggled", they are not properly positioned. With a little practice and care one can gain proficiency in properly positioning them for charging.
I have found these earbuds to be a very good choice for workouts, and recommend them even at their full price as a good buy.

I use this when I travel across the Atlantic ocean, because it is truly portable. It works well with my tiny action camera (Yi 4k) and my compact camera (Canon PowerShot S110). It takes up very little space and is very light weight. It can easily fit into my day bag used for touring. It's multi-functionality is another plus.

I have to make a number of long flights each year across the Atlantic ocean, and have gotten weary lugging headphones with me for these trips. These wired earbuds provide a good alternative. They are much, much smaller and lighter. They provide reasonable noise isolation. They provide good audio for music and movies. I find that the microphone does an acceptable job for making phone calls. The multi-function button supplies the few controls I need while traveling. The L-shaped plug is easier to live with when squished into the extremely narrow seats in economy. I can wear these earbuds comfortably for up to 4 hours.

I purchased this drive to make routine backups of my windows desktop pc, using Acronis True Image. It does so with great speed, and with no issues. I love that it has an on/off switch on its rear, so I can leave it hooked up permanently to my machine and to its power supply. It is clearly extremely well made, and looks like it will last for at least 5 more years.

I got this monitor to act as a second monitor for my desktop computer. It was one of very few monitors that can be rotated into portrait mode, a feature I very much wanted for my workstation. It functions extremely well in that position, and I have it in that orientation permanently. I use it for editing code, and for monitor windows. It is in fact the second such monitor that I have purchased. The screen is perfect for my purposes.

I purchased this, but cant find the power button to turn it off. I hate to leave it plugged in all the time when it's not in use most of the time. Is there a power button on it? If not, then do i have to physically unplug when it's not in use?
The WD Easystore external drives do not have a power button to turn the unit off and on, A possible solution would be to plug the power brick in to a power strip with a switch.
(I think that another version of this drive sold by other retailers - the WD Elements external drive - does have a power button on the back. However, this button looks to be an electronic switch. So even that drive will remain connected to power when turned off with the switch.)
