Light but slips, sore for some after hours

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

  • Lively, detailed sound for a semi-open design
  • Light and stable for most ears
  • Long battery and quick top-up
  • Touchscreen case is genuinely handy
  • Natural voices and clear treble
  • Light, easy to wear
  • Excellent app and handy display case

Cons

  • ANC hardly reduces road or wind noise
  • Bass can't match sealed in-ears
  • No volume control on the buds
  • Not ideal for sport
  • Bass lacks weight
  • ANC unreliable with the open fit
  • Fit test can't get a seal
  • HIFI.DEJul 2024

    Surprisingly capable tipless buds with a great display case and long battery; ANC barely works. Tested EU version.

  • Comfortable open buds for people who dislike a seal, but bass is thin and ANC keeps cutting in and out.

  • FutureFiveAug 2024

    A mixed bag: rich, punchy sound but weak noise cancelling and ears hurt after a few hours.
