What buyers say
Best buds I've owned
The noise cancellation is shockingly good for earbuds this small. I use them daily on my commute and they block out train noise almost completely. Battery life easily gets me through a full workday.
Great sound, so-so touch controls
Audio quality is fantastic, especially bass response. My only gripe is the touch controls sometimes don't register a tap or double up commands. Otherwise very happy with the purchase.
Perfect for Pixel phone owners
Pairing was instant and the integration with my Pixel 8 is seamless. Fast Pair, automatic switching between devices, and Assistant integration all work flawlessly. Comfortable for long listening sessions too.
Comfortable all day fit
I have small ears and most earbuds fall out, but these stay put during workouts and runs. Sweat resistance has held up well over several months of gym use. Highly recommend for active users.
Good but overpriced
They sound great and ANC works well, but for the price I expected sturdier touch controls and better spatial audio. Still a solid product overall, just not mind-blowing for the cost.
