What reviewers say

Both praise comfort, battery life and app features. Their sound and fit findings differ: TechRadar hears clear, full sound but finds weak stability during activity and pressure with glasses; Major HiFi finds a steadier fit but muffled bass and thin vocals. TechRadar also flags the large case and loss of sound quality in noisy surroundings.
