Across CNET and Scarbir, reviewers praise its comfortable fit, full feature set and strong value. Their real-world findings point to a well-rounded set of earbuds for much less than flagship pricing; CNET notes that outdoor calls can sound slightly warbly, so it is not a flawless pick.

Scarbir rates these five stars and calls out their sound, ANC and clear calls; CNET likewise finds them lightweight and comfortable, with sound that competes above their price. CNET’s more cautious real-use note is that voice calls can occasionally sound warbly outdoors, and the touch controls could respond better. The two reviewers broadly agree on value, while neither suggests flagship-level ANC or call quality.

WIRED describes a stable, comfortable fit and engaging sound, while SoundGuys’ measured battery run reached 8 hours 49 minutes. The assessments differ on sound: WIRED praises its crisp, clear presentation, whereas SoundGuys finds the detail and upper treble less impressive. SoundGuys also encountered brief connection stutters with an iPhone in busy areas, a practical caveat absent from WIRED’s account.

Scarbir’s 4.5-star hands-on review praises call clarity, comfort and especially reliable multipoint switching. The earbuds feel light and comfortable, although the initially loose fit may not suit everyone. ANC is the clear compromise: it reduces steady low-frequency noise but lets more voices and higher sounds through than stronger rivals. Scarbir also notes that manual pause controls require the companion app.
Best for: Clear calls, multipoint connections and a secure-feeling app experience - $50-100
SoundGuys measured nearly ten hours of playback with ANC enabled and praised the extensive app controls and value. The reviewer found its energetic, bass-forward tuning enjoyable for pop and dance, but acknowledged that the bass and treble can sound overdone. The chunky case is less pocketable, and the strongest ANC setting may create a noticeable pressure sensation for some wearers.
Best for: Strong tested battery life and adjustable noise cancelling at a discount - $60-100
