Light, stays put running; clamp can press behind ears

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

  • Light and stays put while running
  • Natural, wide sound in quiet places
  • Hear surroundings; splash-proof
  • Nothing pressing in the ear canal
  • Open, natural staging; mids clear

Cons

  • No app
  • Useless in noise - no isolation at all
  • Battery falls well short of 10 h at high volume
  • No bass impact, little fine detail, rolled-off treble
  • Clamp causes some soreness behind the ears
  • Buttons awkward at first; no app
  • Stuff IndiaFeb 2024

    Suits runners on quiet roads who want to hear traffic; not for commuting, flights or noisy places. Indian review (partly paywalled).

  • Music Photo LifeJul 2023

    A pleasant way to listen while staying aware, for runs, home or office; sound is mid-focused with no real bass. Tested the Singapore version.
