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

  • Battery runs well past 100 h in their test
  • Comfortable for long sessions
  • Boom mic removes background noise better than many headsets
  • Physical volume and mute controls
  • Charged once in two weeks of use
  • Sturdy metal frame, plush deep cups that block outside noise
  • Punchy bass and good in-game positioning

Cons

  • Measured sound below average: veiled vocals, thin bass, high distortion
  • No Bluetooth or 3.5 mm, dongle only
  • PC-only app
  • Fully draining the battery can stop it powering on
  • Narrow soundstage; spatial mode hit and miss
  • Mic sounds thin at the low end
  • Weak NGenuity software
  • SoundGuysJan 2024

    Fine for low-lag wireless gaming and voice chat, but the tuning is poor for music; wait for a sale. Tested US version.

  • TechRadarMay 2024

    Well built and comfortable with huge battery life; sound is decent for games but software lets it down.

  • PC GamerApr 2024

    Solid and long-lasting, but ordinary sound and some dropouts make rivals more tempting.

  • GamesRadar+Jun 2024

    Comfort and battery are top class, but it is limited in features and connection choices.

  • Windows CentralAug 2023

    An easy pick for gamers thanks to its long battery, updated design and clear mic.
