Comfort & fit
—

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

  • Very comfortable, snug oval fit
  • Big, fun bass with strong sub-bass rumble
  • Rich app: custom EQ, ANC modes and fully remappable controls
  • Multipoint switches smoothly; games and video stay in sync
  • About 7 h with ANC, three refills from the case
  • Good sound once tuned in the app; bass can be tamed
  • ANC noticeably cuts steady noise like a vacuum

Cons

  • Muddy sound with pushed-back vocals and dull treble
  • ANC handles hums but lets voices through; weak transparency
  • Callers hear a thin voice that breaks up in wind
  • Bass-heavy out of the box
  • Some low rumble gets through and ANC can feel muffled; transparency only okay
  • Leaks sound at high volume
  • Case charges slowly and holds modest backup
  • ScarbirJul 2024

    Comfy, feature-rich budget ANC buds with a handy phone-stand case, but sound and calls are only average.

  • A solid budget all-rounder (tested as R50i NC) with useful ANC and clear calls; Nord Buds 4 cancel more noise for a bit more.

  • A retailer's write-up rating the R50i NC a standout budget ANC bud for music and commuting; not a hands-on lab test.
