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 comfortable, soft deep pads
  • Punchy, bright V-shaped sound; LDAC clearly better than SBC
  • ANC handles traffic well; wind mode works
  • Clear calls even in wind
  • Deep bass, clear mids, wide and lively stage
  • ANC above average for home and cafe use
  • Plush pads, comfy for long sessions

Cons

  • ANC below Sony WH-1000XM5
  • No wear detection, no AAC
  • Buttons hard to tell apart at first
  • ANC below Sony's
  • No skip button, no ear detection
  • LDAC only helps on Android
  • Mids can sound thin and a little cold; detail softer than Sony
  • A strong lower-cost alternative to Sony's flagship, especially on comfort and battery; iPhone users lose out without AAC.

  • AppleInsiderApr 2023

    Excellent sound, comfort and better-than-average ANC; the missing conveniences are acceptable trade-offs.

  • A consistent all-rounder under 200 with a broad, smooth sound and near-faultless calls, but not flagship-level in detail or ANC.

  • Tom's GuideMar 2025

    Good sound and strong ANC for the money, let down by fiddly multi-function buttons.
