What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the headphones are comfortable, last a long time per charge and cancel noise well enough for the price, calling them competent rather than outstanding. What Hi-Fi? found the sound lacking musicality and TechRadar found it slightly blunt; SoundGuys noted the missing IP rating and that they don't fold, and TechRadar that the fit won't suit every head.
