SoundGuys tested these over a week and found the ANC reduced environmental noise substantially, with comfortable, lightweight buds and a useful companion app. The main trade-off is unusually short tested battery life: 4 hours 51 minutes per charge.

SoundGuys’ hands-on week found the small earbuds comfortable for gym use, a feature-packed app, stable connections in testing, and ANC that noticeably reduced bus and traffic noise. Their measured battery ran 4 hours 51 minutes, below average, and the default tuning subdued some midrange detail. SoundGuys recommends considering them for affordable ANC, while the battery result is a meaningful limitation for long days.
Best for: Budget shoppers who want noise cancellation for commuting or the gym - $40-50
HeadphonesAddict’s testing found a comfortable everyday fit, 7.5 hours of playback, and an app with custom EQ and multipoint. The stock sound is bass- and treble-forward, but their reviewer found it could be substantially rebalanced with EQ. The counterpoint is weak passive isolation and no ANC, making these less suitable for noisy commutes; LDAC also hurt connection stability in their testing.

HeadphonesAddict found these exceptionally light and comfortable, with a stable enough fit for ordinary workouts and a measured 9 hours 16 minutes of battery. The reviewer describes the sound as enjoyable and bassy, but notes a bright treble peak that cannot be corrected by the three EQ modes. The hollow-feeling plastic and built-in charging cable are practical durability concerns despite the two-year warranty noted in the review.

Scarbir’s hands-on review found the buds comfortable and praised the app’s straightforward controls and EQ; the reviewer also noted useful video and gaming latency. The listening character is strongly bass-led and dark, though a treble-boost preset helps. TechGearLab likewise found comfort a strength, but its experience and scoring were much less enthusiastic overall: it characterized sound as better for podcasts and audiobooks than layered music and called out subpar call quality. Scarbir additionally experienced accidental activation when the case was moved.
