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

  • Pleasant, slightly bass-boosted sound, EQ in the app
  • About 27 h with ANC in their test
  • Stable link with multipoint
  • Smooth, rich and lively sound
  • Very comfortable, foldable
  • Long battery; aptX Low Latency
  • Balanced, detailed sound with warm bass

Cons

  • ANC only adequate; passive seal does much of the work
  • Small cups and firm clamp, tough with glasses
  • Bass-heavy, so-so mic
  • Cluttered button layout
  • Bass tilt and less midrange clarity than rivals
  • ANC struggles with heavy traffic and loud voices
  • Busy buttons
  • SoundGuysMar 2022

    Good but not great: strong sound and battery, held back by comfort, ANC and the mic. Global model.

  • What Hi-Fi?May 2020

    Well-featured and still worth a look, though not the best in its class. Score is their sound rating.

  • TechRadarJun 2021

    A cheaper alternative to big-name ANC flagships with brilliant sound and a comfy fit; build feels flimsy.

  • Digital TrendsFeb 2020

    Good value travel headphones with caveats; flagships beat them on clarity and soundstage.
