Battery life is decent for the size, but the case feels a bit flimsy and the overall package is a modest value in a competitive market.

  • Pro:Balanced, pleasant sound signature
  • Pro:Fast charging provides quick top-ups
  • Con:No active noise cancellation or transparency mode
  • Con:Only SBC codec support limits audio quality
