Light, but tiny cups and thin headband

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Bass-forward, clear treble, decent mids
  • Plug-and-play USB-C
  • Light; folds with a pouch
  • Firm bass that stays in check, smooth vocals, clear detail
  • Light and comfortable for long listens
  • Hi-res USB-C, folds flat with a pouch
  • Inline mic for calls

Cons

  • Flimsy plastic build
  • Cups too small, sit on the ears
  • Tinny, scratchy mic
  • Busy rock gets bass-heavy, mids not studio-clear
  • No Bluetooth or ANC
  • No volume buttons on the remote
  • Plastic feels basic
  • Tom's GuideMar 2026

    Excellent-sounding budget USB-C headphones let down by a cheap build, tiny earcups and a poor mic.

  • MacworldMar 2026

    Very good sound for the money; just wired-only with no noise cancelling.
