I am sorry I do not have a direct link, but Gear Patrol.com has a review of these buds today, Monday, December 11, along with an upcoming pair of liberty plus buds. Those will be $150, but Anker discounts everything. The biggest difference I think would be helpful is they will have Bluetooth 5.0. As I mentioned, these do have some lag, greater than I am used to in other Bluetooth devices. The longer I have played with them, the more annoying that lag has become. Of course, it is only a real problem when writing. By the way, you can regularly find the Zolo Liberty for $80 now.
