What buyers say
Best fit I've ever had
These are so light I forget I'm wearing them. Noise cancelling handles my office chatter surprisingly well, and the app lets me tweak the EQ exactly how I like it.
Great all-rounder, weak bass
Comfort and call quality are fantastic, and battery life easily gets me through a workday. Only complaint is bass feels thin for bass-heavy tracks.
Solid daily driver
Multipoint switching between my laptop and phone works better than I expected. Touch controls take some getting used to, but overall very reliable earbuds.
Perfect for calls
I use these for work calls constantly and the mic clarity is excellent. Speak-to-Chat is genuinely useful when someone interrupts me mid-track.
