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

  • Detailed sound with bass that does not drown mids and treble; Hi-Res LHDC makes an audible difference
  • Noise cancelling blocks most metro and street noise
  • Light, well-built case with IP55 buds
  • Rock-steady connection over a week of use
  • Settled in comfortably and stayed in place on commutes
  • Balanced tuning rather than a bass blast, with good separation
  • ANC lived up to the 50 dB claim with several strength levels

Cons

  • Transparency mode makes voices sound unnatural
  • Tiny touch area is easy to miss
  • Only one device at a time
  • App needs an account and logs you out at times
  • Mics a step down from the Buds Air 5; had to raise voice in noise
  • Full charge takes about two hours
  • Small stem touch zone takes practice and pushes the bud deeper
  • BeebomJun 2024

    Among the best-sounding pairs at its price for a tight budget, though the plain design and missing extras hold it back.

  • FossbytesJun 2024

    One of the best choices around its price for balanced sound and strong ANC, with the account-based app as the main annoyance.

  • Analytics InsightAug 2024

    Good value ANC earbuds with battery close to the 40 h claim, but better for shorter sessions given the fit and weak calls.

  • MyMobileIndiaMay 2024

    Strong value for mid-range buyers, with good ANC, balanced sound and long battery; the app is the weakest part.

  • MobiGyaanMay 2024

    A feature-packed pick for buyers who want ANC on a budget; impressions are light on hands-on testing.
