Light and stable fit

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

  • Dirac-tuned sound is clearer and more balanced than typical boAt bass
  • Light and stays put
  • Calls fine in quiet to moderately busy places
  • Quick top-up charging

Cons

  • ANC only softens steady hum like fans and AC
  • Bass fans may find it tame
  • Battery shorter with ANC, and buyers report mixed battery life
  • Some buyers report it failing after months
  • Street noise gets into calls outdoors
  • AudioPickDec 2025

    A cheap way to get an ANC switch on a neckband for casual use; not a long-lasting or truly quiet option.
