  • Pro:Excellent sound quality for the price
  • Pro:Premium build and design
  • Pro:Generous accessory bundle
  • Con:Limited soundstage due to in-ear fit
  • Con:No noise cancellation
  • Con:Wired only, no wireless option

  • Con:Treble can be overly bright or spicy
  • Con:Bass is relatively lean with soft texture
