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

  • Stays put in the gym and on the bike
  • IP54 dust and sweat protection
  • Soft flexible hooks, comfortable for hours
  • Clean sound without distortion at high volume
  • Battery lasted about two weeks of on-off use

Cons

  • Hardly any sub-bass
  • Calls weak in wind
  • No wireless charging
  • Buds rattle inside the case
  • Thin bass and not loud enough
  • Best only in quiet places
  • Case rattle
  • SoundGuysAug 2025

    The best-sounding open-ear pair they had tested, durable and comfy for workouts, though no open design can match sealed earbuds. Global unit.

  • 91mobilesSep 2025

    Not a main pair for flights or commutes, but a comfortable, stylish choice for runs, work calls and all-day wear.

  • FoneArenaOct 2025

    A standout open-ear pair after months of use; an easy pick for iPhone owners, held back on Android by low maximum volume.
