How it performs

Sound quality

  • Sound profile: Tends to favour a lively, bass-forward signature — punchy lows, energetic presentation. Great for pop/hip-hop, general listening. What Hi-Fi?+1
  • Midrange & vocals: Clear, though some reviewers felt the mids could be a bit crowded due to the bass emphasis. SoundGuys
  • Treble: Good detail for price, though some fatigue may occur with high-gain treble content or long sessions. What Hi-Fi?
  • Accuracy: While solid for everyday use, they’re not studio-grade or audiophile-level in neutrality. The score in one lab test (MDAQS) was ~3.3/5 (where 5 is “very good”). SoundGuys

Noise cancellation & isolation

  • The ANC works well for its price: good reduction of low-frequency rumble (e.g., engine hum, AC), though not on par with flagship models. SoundGuys
  • Passive isolation: With closed back design it provides decent isolation even before ANC kicks in.
  • Ambient mode: Useful to let in surroundings (for commuting/walking) and responsive.

Connectivity & usability

  • Bluetooth connection: Stable in testing; the Multipoint feature (pairing two devices) is a plus for switching between e.g., phone + laptop. SoundGuys+1
  • App & controls: App offers EQ and settings; control buttons (rather than touch surfaces) on ear-cup are reliable though some users found them similar in feel and had to learn location. SoundGuys
  • Microphone / calls: Good clarity in quiet to moderate surroundings; may struggle in very noisy outdoor envir­onments (as is common at this tier).
  • Comfort & wear: At 192 g fairly lightweight — good for extended sessions. But ear-cup clamping is moderate — users with glasses may find some pressure. Also the lack of fold design may make travel packing a little less convenient. SoundGuys

Battery & charging

  • Users report that the battery life meets the published claims roughly — for typical usage you can get a full work week or travel trip without charging.
  • Quick charge is real: a short charge gives usable time so you’re less likely to be stranded.
  • Wired mode ensures you’re not stuck if battery dies; you can plug in and continue listening.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Excellent value: features like ANC + multipoint + long battery life at a competitive price point.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for many users.
  • Good battery life from both wireless and wired usage modes.
  • Versatile connectivity (Bluetooth + wired) and good app support for adjustments.

Cons:

  • Audio codecs limited to SBC & AAC — if you’re using high-resolution hi-fi audio or want LDAC/aptX support this may be a limiting factor.
  • Build is good for price, but materials and folding/portability aren’t as premium as top-end models.
  • ANC is good but not best-in-class. If you travel frequently and need the absolute top isolation (e.g., flights) you might find it mildly lacking.
  • No dedicated carry case included (in many markets) and no full folding of the cups; packing takes a little more space.
  • Sound signature is tuned for fun/bass — if you prefer very flat, neutral sound for critical listening you might want something different.

Who should buy these?

These headphones are a strong pick if you:

  • Want wireless over-ear headphones with ANC without spending flagship money.
  • Value battery life and versatility (wireless + wired, multiple devices)
  • Do general listening (music, podcasts, commuting, home use) rather than demanding studio-level accuracy
  • Use them with a smartphone / tablet and don’t need high-res audio codec support.

You might choose a different model if you:

  • Are an audiophile who needs LDAC/aptX and ultra-high-fi performance.
  • Travel frequently and need the absolute best noise cancellation and compact portability (folding + hard case)
  • Prefer a very neutral sound signature out of the box.
