Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Sturdy build and secure magnetic case
  • Snug fit that stays in while jogging
  • Loud, bass-heavy sound with clear vocals
  • Quick auto-pairing and no dropouts
  • USB-C quick charging

Cons

  • Right bud sounded heavier than the left
  • Weak calls outdoors
  • No battery indicator on the case
  • About 5.5 h per bud charge
  • PadhKeDekhoMar 2026

    A middling budget pair: well built and stable, but only worth it around Rs 1,500 or less. Tested the 10 mm unit.
