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

  • Strong ANC on hum, traffic and engine rumble
  • Clear, natural-sounding calls indoors and out
  • Comfortable for long sessions; easier one-hand case
  • Swipe volume and stable Bluetooth 6.1 with three devices
  • Good battery and fast top-ups
  • V-shaped sound with clear vocals, good bass and highs
  • Adaptive ANC works well outdoors; wind reduction while running

Cons

  • Default sound heavy on mid-bass until EQ/LHDC tweaks
  • Some voices and fan noise get through ANC
  • App forces sign-in and shows ads
  • No LDAC
  • Mids only average
  • Glossy lid and buds attract prints and scratches
  • Measured about 5.5 h with LHDC, below claims
  • SmartprixMay 2026

    A clear refinement of the Air 8 with a better case, swipe volume, three-device connection and strong ANC, though cheaper rivals come close.

  • FoneArenaMay 2026

    One of the most rounded, feature-packed ANC pairs at its price and a worthy follow-up to the Air 7 Pro.

  • DigitJun 2026

    One of the most complete pairs under Rs 7,000; the reviewer kept it as his daily pair despite app and finish gripes.

  • EditorjiJun 2026

    A strong mid-range pick with near-premium sound and noise blocking for buyers who don't want to pass Rs 10,000.
