Score breakdown
Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.
Pros
- Effective, adjustable ANC for the money
- Nearly 10 h per charge with ANC
- LDAC, wireless charging and fast pairing
- High lab sound score; powerful bass
- Airy sound, great with electronic and hip-hop
- Adaptive ANC adjusts well
- About 9.5 h per charge in testing
Cons
- Bulky case that scratches
- Many EQ presets too bassy
- Shallow fit, only average comfort; not for workouts
- Calls just okay, keyboard noise gets through
- Recessed mids and sharp S sounds before tuning
- No wings, so not for sport
- Only splash-proof

SoundGuysOct 2023
A strong budget ANC pick for its mix of noise cancelling, battery and price; punchy bass suits pop, less so the gym. Tested global version.

Tech AdvisorAug 2023
Everyday earbuds with excellent sound and battery plus handy software at a low price; not for sport. Tested global version.

Pickr2023
Well worth a look for budget noise-cancelling earbuds: balanced sound, decent ANC and a polished app. Tested Australian version.

ReviewedJun 2023
Sets a new bar for earbuds under $100, with clearly better ANC and battery than the Liberty 4; fit is the weak point. Tested US version.
