TL;DR: Not the cheapest, but good quality mic and sound, great app for customisation, ANC works well except in extreme environments, and will last you a long time.
I've wanted some good quality ANC earphones for a while now, but could never find some that didn't break the bank. After some research, I found these. I chose these from among other similarly-priced competitors because I had a previous iteration of them (the Life A1's) and they were fantastic. I'd like to note I got this pair on discount, and would still buy them even at full price.
Everything works as written on the box and like other reviews have stated. The noise cancellation is good for just about every activity you could think of (though not perfect, it reduces the environmental sounds by an incredible amount), with you being able to change which type of noise cancellation you'd like via the app. The app itself is a great addition, which was a key selling point for me, as you can customise the earphones to just about any level you'd like, including what the tap gestures do.
I've seen others complain that if you do a more intensive sport, the earphones may fall out. I haven't had this issue, though I can see how if they weren't properly fitted this could happen. I've also seen that cyclists (like myself) have complained about wind noise falling across the earphones, but I haven't encountered this (specifically on full ANC mode), and so fully recommend them for sport.
The battery life is great, lasting for the advertised 5/6 hours, and even on a tiny charge in the box, they can continue to last for a significant time. I rarely need to charge the box itself, which I find can sometimes be tedious to remember to do, so I love this.
The mic quality was also a big selling point for me, and though it isn't the greatest, it definitely works well, and your voice comes through clearly, if a little quiet. I've used them for this both inside and outside, and they do work to pick up your voice well in both environments. I don't recommend calling when moving at speed (or with wind-rush) as the mics are sensitive to wind.
Overall, I definitely recommend these earphones. They're a good price for a good quality product, and will last you a long time.
