Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Sound measured near the top of its class
  • Comfortable fit for long wear
  • Full parametric EQ in the app
  • LDAC and LHDC for Android users
  • Slightly bass-rich but clean tuning with wide stage and good separation
  • Calls stayed clear even on a crowded Mumbai local
  • Secure, light fit through workouts

Cons

  • ANC measured below average and short of the claim
  • Bass shifts depending on whether ANC is on
  • Hi-res codecs do nothing on iPhone
  • ANC struggles with high-pitched noise like trains and fans
  • Only about 3.5 h measured with LDAC + ANC
  • Case picks up scratches
  • Can't go loud enough for noisy streets
  • SoundGuysNov 2024

    Recommended for most people thanks to excellent tested sound, comfort and a deep app; noise cancelling is the soft spot. Tested the global model.

  • DigitMay 2024

    Flagship-like buds with lively, spacious sound and strong calls; ANC and battery life are where they fall short.

  • TechRadarJun 2024

    Close to a complete package with big bass, comfortable fit and smart personalisation, held back by low max volume, a cheap-feeling case and short ANC battery. Tested the global model.

  • Tom's GuideApr 2024

    A strong update with balanced sound and clever personalisation at a fair price, though ANC is weaker than rivals. Tested the global model.
