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

  • Warm, full sound with ANC off - the most balanced of the cheap rivals tested
  • Mics clear indoors and usable in noise
  • ANC copes with fans and AC hum
  • Measured over 10 h per charge with ANC off
  • Very little ear pressure over hours
  • Steady link; two-phone pairing works
  • Strong bass for pop with vocals kept apart

Cons

  • Turning ANC or EQ on makes music sound squashed
  • High lag unless used with a Xiaomi phone
  • Clunky app with ads and forced account
  • Some hiss and weak wind handling
  • Plasticky; pairing button hard to press
  • Low maximum volume
  • Buds and case pick up dust and smudges
  • GSMArenaDec 2024

    Comfy, long-lasting India-model pair with good mics; sounds best with ANC off, and the app and lag let it down.

  • SmartprixDec 2024

    A good budget ANC pair under Rs 3,000; main gripe is that it doesn't go very loud.

  • MobiGyaanDec 2024

    A strong mid-range choice thanks to dual drivers, solid ANC on paper and a secure fit.
