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

  • Noise cancelling handles low and mid noise and wind well
  • Over 12 h measured per charge without ANC
  • Light and comfortable for hours
  • Natural-sounding transparency
  • Full app with 6-band EQ and multipoint
  • Sound better than the price suggests
  • ANC good enough for moderately noisy places

Cons

  • Bloated bass muddies vocals and dulls treble out of the box
  • Callers hear slightly processed voice
  • Lag in games and on PCs unless game mode is on
  • Only SBC and AAC
  • Fit needs readjusting for some ears
  • Touch taps sometimes miss
  • No LDAC or aptX
  • GSMArenaJul 2024

    Comfortable with good ANC and battery, but the muddy default sound is too big a compromise for audio gear.

  • 91mobilesJul 2024

    One of the best TWS under Rs 3,500 for sound, ANC and battery; fit and touch controls are the weak spots.

  • FoneArenaJul 2024

    Solid budget pick for bass lovers with strong ANC for the money, multipoint and in-ear detection; India unit tested.

  • SmartprixJul 2024

    Light and well-equipped, but audio dropouts and slow device switching hold it back unless fixed by updates.

  • Tom's GuideAug 2024

    Ambitious, feature-heavy budget buds for Android users that still need polish; US unit tested.
