What reviewers said

  • Pro:Supports high-quality LHDC codec
  • Con:No wireless charging, only USB-C
  • Con:Sensitivity at 122 dB may be too high for some

Sabbat E12

  • Pro:Bass-forward, lively sound
  • Pro:Good call quality for the price
  • Pro:Compact and comfortable fit
  • Con:High latency, not good for gaming or video
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Occasional hiss and build quality concerns
