Very light, barely felt; fit fiddly for some

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

  • Feather-light, barely felt once on
  • Quick, steady Bluetooth connection
  • About 8 h per charge, 36 h with case
  • Secure, pressure-free clip that works with glasses
  • About 9.5 h measured per charge
  • Fairly balanced bass and mids, low distortion
  • Multipoint, IP54, either bud fits either ear

Cons

  • Thin, bright sound with little bass or detail
  • Harsh, coarse call voice with dropouts
  • Touch controls often miss
  • Some sound leaks to people nearby
  • Callers hear a scratchy voice
  • Less bass punch than Shokz OpenFit
  • No Google Fast Pair
  • What Hi-Fi?Feb 2024

    A comfortable, clever first try at clip-on buds, but sound (2/5) and controls are below today's standard. Tested UK version.

  • NotebookcheckDec 2023

    Stylish, comfortable and long-lasting with fairly balanced measured sound; calls and missing ANC are the reservations. Global version.

  • GSMArena

    Creates its own niche of stylish open buds; not for anyone who puts sound quality first. Global version.

  • Trusted Reviews

    Light, distinctive and long-lasting, but fit and sound don't fully justify the price; Shokz OpenFit and JBL rivals sound better.
