What buyers say

JMJordan M.Verified buyer · 2024-02-14★★★★☆

Great value ANC buds

I was skeptical about the price but these have solid noise cancellation and pair instantly with my Galaxy phone. Battery lasts me two full days of commuting.

PSPriya S.Verified buyer · 2024-03-02★★★★☆

Comfortable and reliable

Fit is comfortable for long listening sessions. Only gripe is the touch controls sometimes trigger by accident when adjusting them in my ear.

ATAlex T.Verified buyer · 2024-01-20★★★★☆

Good budget option

Sound quality is decent, ANC works well in noisy environments like the subway. Wish the case supported wireless charging though.

DRDana R.Verified buyer · 2024-04-10★★★★☆

Fine but basic

They do the job for calls and podcasts, but bass is lacking if you're into music with heavier low end. Battery life is genuinely good though.
