What reviewers say

Both praise long endurance, useful app controls and bass-led sound for the price, while describing a plastic build. TechRadar finds the cups warm and wants clearer mids and treble. Major HiFi instead praises treble detail, but finds vocals recessed and the small cups potentially uncomfortable.
