What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: it calls the ear placement over-ear but also labels the earpiece shape on-ear, lists the frequency response as 40 KHz while the description says 20Hz-40KHz, and gives Bluetooth range as both 32.81 feet and 10M. Weight is listed as 1.27 kg in details but 329g for the headphone in the description. Water resistance is labeled Waterproof in details but IP52 in the description. Check the selected listing for the intended specifications. Battery and fast-charge figures vary by codec and ANC mode, and the fast-charge wording contains apparent source typos.

Customer feedback reports praise for sound quality, design, noise cancellation, controls, build, adjustability and Bluetooth connectivity. Some customers also describe the value positively. These impressions align with the listing's ANC modes, app EQ and wireless features, but they do not establish performance for every listening environment. The overall rating distribution is mostly positive while still including a notable range of lower ratings, so experiences are not uniformly favorable.
