What buyers say
Great value for Android users
These earbuds pair instantly with my Pixel phone and the sound quality is way better than I expected for the price. Highly recommend for anyone not wanting to spend a fortune.
Comfortable but missing ANC
They fit well and stay in place during workouts. My only complaint is the lack of noise cancellation, which would make them perfect.
Good, not great
Sound is fine but I noticed occasional connection hiccups with my older Android phone. Still decent for the price point.
Perfect everyday earbuds
I use these daily for calls and music. The touch controls work well and battery life easily gets me through a full workday.
Solid budget pick
Not the fanciest earbuds out there, but for the price they offer great sound and call quality. Google Assistant integration is a nice touch.
