Light; stems may stick out of small ears

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

  • Clear vocals and bright treble, little distortion at 80% volume
  • Light, fine for about three hours
  • Voices clear on calls with the four mics
  • Long claimed battery; reviewer estimated 35-40 h total in mixed use

Cons

  • Bass shallower than expected
  • No ANC, outside noise gets in
  • BEAST mode still lags in games
  • Plasticky build, stems stick out of small ears
  • AudioPickNov 2025

    A safe low-cost pick for students and office use; not for bass lovers or anyone wanting ANC. Short hands-on, no measurements.
