Considerations
-
❌ No Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) — relies on passive isolation, which is weak against low-frequency sounds like traffic or engines.
-
❌ On-ear design — lightweight but may become uncomfortable for some users after long sessions; less stable during workouts.
-
❌ Bass response — out of the box, bass is softer than average, though EQ can improve it.
-
❌ Wireless-only — no wired connection option.
✅ Best for: Students, commuters, and budget-conscious listeners who want long battery life, customizable sound, and modern Bluetooth features without breaking the bank.
