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
- Very detailed, clear and spacious sound
- Excellent ANC on low and mid noise
- Lighter and comfier than the AZ80 for small and large ears
- Better battery than before; granular multipoint and controls
- Balanced, detailed, energetic sound with ANC on
- Smaller, lighter and comfortable
- LDAC, LC3 and three-device multipoint; wireless charging
Cons
- Sony's rival sounds fuller in the bass; Bass+ EQ upsets the balance
- AI call mode makes voices sound robotic
- Weak case magnet; single taps sometimes read as double
- Bass thins out with ANC off
- ANC good but behind Bose
- Battery good rather than great; buds fiddly to lift from the case
- Odd default sound signature that needs EQ

TechRadarJan 2025
The real deal for sound and features, unless top battery life or the very strongest ANC matter most.

SoundGuysApr 2025
Capable, feature-rich ANC earbuds with strong noise cancelling, held back by an unusual tuning and high price.

Tom's GuideFeb 2026
A good audio-first alternative to AirPods Pro 3 and Sony XM5, but at full price it trails the best flagships.
