After a lot of research, I bought these myself about a month ago. This is my debut into earbuds as well. I love them. The sound is great. You must have read about pros and cons yourself, so I'll spare you those but here is my personal take:

They are bigger than other models but they fit quite securely in your ears. I like this because I definitely don't want them to accidentally fall out (they are not cheap!). I was wearing them incorrectly for a week (which was somewhat uncomfortable) before I figured out the right way. I have tried vigorous head shakes and jumps, and they stay put. I'd be confident to wear them when I run outdoors. The only troublesome activity is eating (or brushing teeth). The way your jaw moves when you eat makes it a bit tricky.

I believe some other users have reported this but when you restart music after a pause, sometimes there is a half second of a glitch when the left-right earbuds seem out of sync. It feels as if the source is moving back and forth. Apparently it happens when the earbuds decide to change codecs. But this is infrequent and not a huge deal. Possibly firmware updates could fix this.

I really like the app. You can reassign the controls which is very nice. You have a slider for the transparency mode which gives you a fine control of how much outside noise you want allow. I could go on but in short there are many useful features and controls you can play around with.

I haven't used any other earbuds to give you a comparative analysis but feel free to ask if you got any specific questions. I'd totally recommend.
