What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Sound quality is rich, detailed, and spacious, with well-controlled bass and clear mids that reviewers consistently praise across genres
- JustMyVoice call technology with eight mics delivers genuinely impressive voice isolation in wind and background noise
- Three-device simultaneous multipoint Bluetooth connection is a standout feature, with the option to run LDAC alongside two-device multipoint
Reviewers push back
- ANC is effective in the bass range but lags behind top-tier competitors in mid and treble frequencies, landing in the second tier across multiple reviews
- Touch controls are feature-rich but require a significant adjustment period and can be confusing out of the box
- Enabling LDAC noticeably cuts battery life and restricts multipoint to two devices, forcing a trade-off
A technically accomplished flagship earbuds set that earns strong praise for sound quality, call performance, and three-device multipoint, held back by middle-of-the-road ANC and a learning curve on controls.
Transparency mode rating divides reviewers: one places it in the same tier as AirPods Pro (S-tier), while others say it is good but clearly a step below Apple's implementation
