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 present but not overwhelming; good sound for a compact on-ear
  • Battery lasted far beyond expectations
  • Folds small; easy physical buttons
  • Sounds good with solid bass and highs
  • Soft cups, headband not too tight
  • Simple two-button controls; folds into a case

Cons

  • ANC barely changes anything; voices still clear
  • Fit can be tight or slip depending on the head; catches hair
  • Only IPX4; loud battery voice alerts
  • No hi-res codecs; less depth than premium cans
  • On-ear style not for everyone
  • A compact, cheap on-ear that sounds better balanced than the pricier Crusher ANC 2; ANC is weak and durability middling. Tested the EU version.

  • Better in every way than the old Icon; recommended for its looks and sound. Light review, ANC not tested.
