A touch bass-heavy ; No active noise-cancelling ; Make your ears warm

Easy-to-get-on-with headphones for the commute or listening out and about, with a friendly, approachable sound

Crisp and punchy sound ; Collapsible and hardy design ; Excellent wireless range and stability ; Good battery life

Questionable comfort ; Touch activation for voice assistant is finicky and slow ; Lack of noise canceling ; Lack of USB-C charging

Great sound quality ; Smooth mids ; Comfortable ; Great price

Clunky design ; Treble frequencies could be clearer
