Our Verdict
These headphones would do moderately well as everyday casual headphones. They have a good enough sound for most listeners, they're decently well built and block enough noise for commuting.
- Great audio reproduction.
- Comfortable.
- Mostly plastic build.
- Lack of volume controls, confusing button layout
Above-average for neutral listening. They have a decent audio reproduction but a poor soundstage due to their closed noise canceling design.
Average for commuting. The noise canceling reduces a fair amount of ambient noise they're moderately comfortable.
Decent for sports. They're moderately comfortable and relatively lightweight. However, They're a bit cumbersome and unstable for strenuous exercises.
Average for office use. They will block the chatter of a moderately busy office but they leak and will be audible at higher volumes.
