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

  • Top-rated sound quality in their lab test
  • Stays in securely
  • Rich companion app
  • IP57 water and dust protection
  • Balanced, natural sound with clear vocals
  • Very good call voice quality
  • Light and comfortable for long wear

Cons

  • Many features are Samsung-only
  • ANC trails rivals at this price
  • Battery under 5 h in their test
  • Stem controls take getting used to
  • Some extras only work with Galaxy phones
  • ANC not the best in class
  • Glossy buds are slippery to pull out of the case
  • SoundGuysMar 2025

    Best with a Samsung phone: excellent sound and a secure fit, but others get less for the money.

  • 91mobilesAug 2024

    A premium, feature-packed pair that sounds clean and natural; the ANC is good rather than class-leading and the price is steep.

  • BeebomAug 2024

    Great sound, ANC and mics, but mainly worth it for owners of a Galaxy S23 or newer, or with a phone bundle deal.

  • SmartprixAug 2024

    Recommended, especially near Rs 15,000; sounds great after EQ, but battery is average and there's no real multipoint.

  • TechRadarJul 2024

    Superb sound and some of the most thorough noise cancelling around, held back by price, AirPods-like design and Galaxy-only features (global model).

Reported by many owners

Common complaints

  • Ear tips on early units tear easily when you change or remove them; Samsung paused shipments in July 2024 over quality control and resumed in August
