Light and comfy; slips out when running

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Over 17 h per charge in their test
  • Very small, pocketable case
  • Quick pairing on iPhone and Android
  • Decent passive seal with four tip sizes
  • Balanced tuning with clear vocals
  • Light and comfortable for long sessions
  • Passive isolation is decent

Cons

  • No ANC, transparency or EQ
  • Lab sound rated below average, weak in distortion
  • Mic's noise gate cuts voices in streets and wind
  • Slip out while running; no water rating
  • Stiff physical buttons
  • Bass lacks punch, no EQ
  • Muffled calls in crowded places
  • SoundGuysMay 2025

    Tiny and long-lasting, but with no ANC, no EQ and a battery-less case, other sub-$100 buds give more.

  • 91mobilesOct 2024

    A reasonable low-cost way into Beats/Apple pairing, with vocal-forward sound but thin bass and an odd battery-less case.

  • The WeekOct 2024

    Compact, comfy and long-lasting, but sound and the missing ANC fall short of the price.

  • GizbotOct 2024

    Good sound and comfort for the money; missing ANC is the main drawback.
