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

  • Calls are the highlight: voice stays clear for both sides
  • Balanced, clean sound rather than boomy bass
  • Light and comfortable for long wear; seals out some noise
  • Battery close to Xiaomi's figures
  • Clear sound with fair bass for the money
  • Voice pickup good outdoors and very good indoors
  • Very light and comfy for hours

Cons

  • Audible delay in games
  • App only shows battery and updates
  • Switching phones needs a five-tap re-pair, no multipoint
  • Plain plastic case marks easily
  • Distorts at full volume, best kept around 60-70%
  • Bass lacks real punch
  • Little help against outside noise
  • TechPPAug 2023

    A tidy, comfortable starter pair whose call clarity is better than the price suggests.

  • GizbotJun 2023

    Strong value in the sub-2,000 band thanks to clear sound and good mics; app and controls are basic.

  • Business Insider IndiaJun 2023

    A safe pick at Rs 1,399 for clear, punchy sound and easy Fast Pair, held back by zero customisation.

  • Business StandardJun 2023

    Only a basic, no-frills pair; similar-priced neckbands sound and last better.
