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

  • Punchy bass while vocals stay clear
  • ANC handles low hums well for the price
  • Battery lasted around 26-28 h with ANC on
  • Calls stayed clear even outdoors
  • No lag felt in mobile shooters
  • Strong bass with decent mids and highs
  • ANC cuts fan and traffic noise

Cons

  • Few sound tuning options in the app
  • Highs get a little rough at loud volume
  • ANC well behind premium headphones
  • Bass gets thinner with ANC switched on
  • Band may feel big on small necks
  • No auto-pause sensor
  • PC-TabletMar 2025

    After weeks of use, rates it one of the best-value ANC neckbands under Rs 2,000.

  • AudioPickOct 2025

    Among the most feature-packed neckbands under Rs 2,000; fine for most people, less so for those wanting a neutral sound.
