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

  • Hi-Fi mode sounds clear with punchy bass
  • Very long battery; case barely drains in two weeks
  • Light and fits well
  • Quick switching between two devices
  • Bass-heavy sound good for rock and movies
  • ANC cuts fan and traffic noise reasonably
  • Calls better than expected for the price

Cons

  • ANC struggles with voices and hisses slightly
  • Weak transparency mode
  • Calls just passable
  • Short Bluetooth range, drops when walking away
  • No app
  • Mids and treble only fine, narrow stage
  • Fairly low maximum volume
  • TechPPMar 2024

    A feature-packed budget pair with long battery; ANC and transparency are only average and there is no app.

  • GizbotMar 2024

    Worth a look at Rs 2,000 for strong bass, usable ANC in traffic and decent calls, but sound detail and volume are limited.

  • Very positive Indian review calling it a strong budget buy; little criticism beyond missing app and limited soundstage.
