Light band, fine for a few hours

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

  • Bass is punchy yet not muddy
  • ANC softens fans, typing and light traffic
  • Calls stayed fairly clear outdoors with car horns nearby
  • Light enough to wear for a few hours
  • App has EQ, ANC level and game mode

Cons

  • Treble can turn harsh at high volume
  • ANC only dulls loud noise like construction
  • Device switching is slow, not true seamless multipoint
  • Plasticky feel; no LDAC or aptX
  • AudioPickNov 2025

    A dependable everyday budget neckband with ANC; small site, page has some conflicting specs, so weigh lightly.
