Main Product Advantages
9 Bluetooth Connectivity
Easy and painlessly connects to Apple devices using the Apple W1 chip. Bluetooth Class 1 ensures strong and stable connectivity.
9 Ease of Use
Setup is straightforward with simple button controls for power and ANC. No cords, making them easy to handle.
8 Comfort
The ear cups are not large enough to completely encompass the ears, but they are more comfortable than Beats Solo3, especially for people with larger heads/ears.
8 Active Noise Cancelling (ANC)
ANC works well to reduce ambient noise, making the environment quieter for better music experience. However, there's white noise without music.
7 Sound Quality
Sound quality tends to favor the lower end of the audio spectrum, providing deep thumping bass. The mids can feel a bit muddied but overall sound quality is appreciated.
7 Build and Design
Premium look and feel with sturdy carry case. Some concerns about flexibility of headband.
7 Heat Buildup
May cause sweaty ears with prolonged use, not ideal for running or jogging.
6 Battery Life
Battery life lasts about 22 hours with ANC. Noted that ANC drains battery faster, but normal usage can get long hours on a single charge.
6 Price vs Value
Considered expensive but justified by premium features and brand status. Recommended to purchase during sales.
5 Microphone Quality
Microphone quality is subpar with noticeable background noise during calls.
