  • SoundGuysJul 2024

    Strong noise cancelling in a small, comfortable bud; plain design and a weak street mic. Tested US version.

  • GSMArenaJul 2022

    Very good earbuds, strongest on comfort, noise cancelling and mics; tuning is warm and a touch dull. Tested global version.

  • MySmartPriceNov 2022

    A recommended pick in its price band for features, codecs and comfort. Indian review.

  • India TVOct 2023

    After three months: comfortable, good-sounding buds let down by weaker ANC than rivals, no wireless charging and patchy software. Indian review.
