What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the secure workout fit, long battery life and reliable iPhone connection, but found the case bulky and the launch price high. Macworld found the hooks uncomfortable after longer sessions; SoundGuys criticised recessed vocals and limited isolation from low-frequency noise.
