What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the energetic sound and swappable cushions for exercise. T3 and Tom's Guide praised noise cancellation; Les Numériques found low-frequency reduction weak. T3 found heat and clamping pressure tiring, unlike Les Numériques, and disliked the buttons; Tom's Guide and Les Numériques liked the controls but criticised missing wear detection.
