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

  • Very well-judged tuning that measures near the top of its class
  • Lasted over 41 h with ANC on
  • Fairly light for its size with soft memory-foam pads
  • Natural-sounding transparency mode
  • Tight, extended bass with warm detailed vocals
  • Slim, smart-looking design
  • ANC fine for commuting and leaves the sound unchanged

Cons

  • Mic copes with street and office noise but not wind, some echo
  • App is basic: two-band EQ, no spatial audio or hearing test
  • No water resistance
  • Did not always reconnect to the last device
  • Noise cancelling trails Sony and Bose, only on or off
  • No touch controls
  • Clamp firmer than rivals
  • SoundGuysJan 2025

    Lab-measured sound among the best over-ears; battery far beyond the claim, mic and features only middling.

  • Tom's GuideJan 2024

    Editor's Choice: an audiophile-leaning refresh with great sound, though not a big jump over the Px7 S2.

  • T3Oct 2023

    Platinum award: sound good enough to rival any Sony or Bose pair, with ANC the one weak area.
