Measurements and reviewer impressions point to strong response consistency, clean presentation, and studio-leaning tuning, though the target is not bass-heavy.
Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Connectivity versatility
Cons: Carry case quality, Xbox compatibility
The tonal balance was broadly praised as full-range and accurate, but Tom’s Guide still noted the lowest frequencies were less refined.
Pros: Comfort during long use, USB-C
Cons: Microphone noise reduction, Water/sweat resistance rating
SoundGuys' review and video both said the tuning followed its preference curve closely, with some sub-bass and upper-treble dips.
Pros: Weight comfort, Battery
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Sound leakage
Frequency accuracy was mostly good but not flawless, with praise for balance and lab curve tracking alongside caveats about ANC-related bass emphasis and missing nuance.
Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Audio-video sync accuracy
Cons: Sidetone adjustment quality, Software/setup simplicity
Frequency response was considered consumer-friendly rather than flat, with one reviewer wishing the tuning were closer to neutral.
Pros: Smart Pause performance, Wear detection performance
Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, Wind noise handling
Frequency response was not neutral: reviewers noted unusual tuning, bass emphasis, and reduced upper mids/treble that could help games but hurt some vocals.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Battery
Cons: Bluetooth, Active noise cancellation
Frequency response accuracy is limited by open-ear physics, with lab notes showing low-end rolloff around the bass region.
Pros: Transparency mode quality, Maximum volume clarity
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Spatial audio
