What reviewers say

Both find useful performance for the price but limitations in bass reproduction. Their isolation findings differ sharply: Labo Fnac praises cancellation and passive isolation, while Les Numériques finds cancellation behind leading rivals. Les Numériques also praises endurance, app controls and connectivity, but criticises the tight fit, limited treble detail and unnatural transparency mode.
