Pro 2 all the way.

I got the extras originally but I literally went through 3 pairs on warranty because the circuit connection at the base of the earbud kept failing. They'd last 3-4 months but they'd all eventually develop shorts. They worked great and I honestly like the design better, but eventually they got tired of warranting me and upgraded me to the pro 2s. I'm 8 months in of daily wear for 12 hour shifts and they are comfortable, battery is holding up great, and performance is as.good as ever.

Haven't used the Frees or the NoiseAwares. Neither really fits my needs. I work factory so I have to have that noise cancelling power and that 16hr battery life on the Pro 2s is amazing. Music all night with no charging.

I've been holding off getting a new pair of anything because I want (need?) a much higher battery life and something more durable/rugged for daily heavy use. You just sold me!

How's the audio quality? How's the microphone noise canceling for calls?

I mean as far as I'm concerned the Audio quality is good. I'm not gonna claim it'll beat out your bose or anything like that but the noise cancellation certainly will.

Audio filtering on the mic is just okay. It does fine with ambient noise but if you're moving a lot and it's brushing up against your clothes you'll notice.
