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

  • ANC far better than most at this price
  • Very pocketable case
  • Fairly comfortable fit
  • Good value
  • Wing tips make it stable and comfortable
  • ANC very effective
  • Clean sound with decent bass, better with EQ

Cons

  • Too much bass out of the box
  • Battery below average in their test
  • Only splash resistance
  • Wide nozzle may not suit small ears; taps push the buds in
  • Sound trails pricier Galaxy Buds
  • No wireless charging
  • Boomy bass that swamps some songs; treble lacks detail
  • SoundGuysNov 2024

    Among the best cheap ANC buds for commuters thanks to strong noise cancelling and a tiny case; not for audiophiles or long listening days (global model).

  • SamMobileOct 2023

    A great all-round package for the money, mainly for fit and ANC rather than sound.

  • Trusted ReviewsOct 2023

    Enjoyable for casual listening with solid ANC, but bass dominates and balance suffers (global model).

  • nextpitOct 2023

    A strong buy for the price thanks to excellent ANC and a secure fit, held back by no wireless charging and weak water resistance (global model).
