What buyers say
Great budget ANC earbuds
Surprised by how well the noise cancelling works for this price. Bass is punchy and battery lasts all week with normal use.
Solid sound, decent fit
Sound quality is impressive for the price. The case is a bit chunky but overall very happy with the purchase.
Good value overall
ANC isn't as strong as my old Sony buds but for half the price these are a great deal. Calls sound clear too.
Touch controls need work
Sound and battery are great but the touch sensitivity on the earbuds is too high, I keep accidentally skipping tracks.
Impressed with battery life
40 hours total playtime claim seems accurate in my testing. Great for long flights and daily commuting without constant charging.
