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

  • Over 9 h per charge with ANC on in their test, about four refills in the case
  • Cuts low engine drone; wind-reduction mode helps outdoors
  • Feature-packed app with 10-band EQ, game mode and volume limiter
  • Handy phone-stand case and multipoint
  • Energetic, full sound at normal volumes with punchy mid-bass
  • Useful transparency mode and good wind reduction
  • 8+ h per charge with ANC; case refills many times

Cons

  • Boomy, V-shaped sound with bass well above their target that clouds mids
  • ANC below average in their lab
  • Thin, processed-sounding mic that can clip speech
  • Loose fit for some ears, poor for workouts; slow touch controls
  • Treble turns hissy when loud; sub-bass muddy in busy tracks
  • ANC lets mid-range sounds through; rivals block more
  • Voice turns dull and muffled in wind
  • SoundGuysAug 2025

    Fine for casual listeners who like big bass; long battery and the stand case are the highlights, calls and fit the weak spots.

  • ScarbirMar 2024

    A budget ANC pair with great battery and app, but bass, treble and ANC strength need more polish.

  • Mezha

    Strong value: comfortable, long-lasting and enjoyable to listen to, though not the most detailed or balanced.

  • HiFiReportSep 2026

    A good pick for budget commuters and travellers who want bass and battery, not for critical listening or lots of calls.
