ANC is widely viewed as strong for the category, but wind performance is a recurring weakness in several reviews and some listeners notice a faint hiss in very quiet rooms. Mode switching is straightforward, but several reviewers want finer ANC intensity controls and better ways to access wind-related settings without opening the app.
ANC performance is widely considered good to very good, especially for steady low-frequency noise (commutes, travel). Multiple sources still rank Sony or Bose as stronger overall, with some higher-frequency or sudden sounds bleeding through. Reviews highlight flexible ANC control via the app, including adaptive behavior and anti-wind options. The tradeoff is that some modes can reduce cancellation strength compared with a full-max setting.
Android support is strong, helped by features like Fast Pair and LDAC compatibility on supported phones.
Android compatibility is frequently highlighted as the best match for this product, since Android devices can access more codecs and future-facing features. Most reports describe stable performance on Android, with fewer issues than on iOS in some tests.
The Status Hub app is generally seen as clean and useful for EQ and features, though some reviewers flag firmware/update hiccups or missing toggles for certain behaviors.
The Smart Control app is widely praised for depth and polish, offering fit tests, customization, updates, and sound tools. The main critique is that it can feel feature-dense or that certain controls (like EQ depth) could be more advanced.
Some reviews explicitly note the lack of aptX-family support, which may matter to Android users who prefer Qualcomm codecs.
aptX support (including Adaptive/Lossless on compatible devices) is frequently praised as a differentiator for Android users. Several reviewers also note that audible gains can be subtle versus AAC, and depend heavily on phone support and content quality.
Latency is described as typical for Bluetooth: fine for most video, but not ideal for competitive gaming and some reviewers wish for a dedicated low-latency mode.
For video and casual gaming, sync and latency are generally reported as good, aided by low-latency modes and modern Bluetooth. Competitive gaming may still benefit from dedicated dongle-based solutions, but most users should find A/V sync acceptable.
Bass is generally described as deep and controlled, but some listeners want more punch or find the low end a bit warm depending on tips/EQ.
Bass is repeatedly described as deep, punchy, and well controlled, adding weight without drowning details. Some listeners feel the stock bass tilt is more consumer-friendly than neutral, and prefer trimming it via EQ.
Battery life is mixed: some see close to the rated numbers in lighter use, while others measure around 5–6 hours with ANC and/or LDAC, which can feel short for the price.
Battery life is typically around 7 to 7.5 hours per charge in many tests, with ANC reducing runtime in some reports. With the case, total endurance is commonly cited around 30 hours, which is competitive for the premium class.
Bluetooth connections are usually stable and easy to pair, though a few reports mention occasional quirks during reconnection or device prioritization.
Bluetooth stability is generally strong, with several reviewers noting fewer dropouts and good on-the-go continuity. A few reports mention iPhone-related cutouts or codec-dependent behavior (e.g., stereo-to-mono at distance with high-res modes).
Overall build quality is viewed as premium, though there are occasional reports of small durability quirks such as case contact issues.
Build quality is commonly described as solid and durable, with premium materials and a robust case. Overall impressions point to a flagship-level fit and finish.
Physical buttons are appreciated for tactile control, yet multiple reviewers dislike that key button functions are fixed and not fully remappable.
The charging case is often described as sturdy with strong magnets, but a few complaints include one-hand opening difficulty or isolated hardware/connector issues.
Case quality is consistently rated premium, with a fabric exterior and solid feel. The main knock is size rather than materials or durability.
Charging is convenient with USB-C and wireless charging support noted across reviews, and case-to-bud top-ups are generally quick.
Charging is a strong point: USB-C and Qi wireless charging are standard, and fast top-ups are commonly quoted around 8 to 10 minutes for about an hour of playback. Battery-protection and intelligent charging modes trade speed and max capacity for longevity.
Codec support is a highlight, with broad coverage including common codecs plus modern options mentioned across reviews.
Codec support is a major selling point, repeatedly cited as future-proof: Bluetooth 5.4 with broad codec options, plus LE Audio/LC3 and Auracast support via updates depending on source device. iPhone users are largely limited to AAC, reducing the practical benefit.
Comfort is one of the strongest themes, with many reviewers reporting hours-long wear without hot spots once the right tips are chosen.
Comfort is commonly rated high for a premium TWS, with stable in-ear fit for long listening. The buds are physically large, and some users with small ears or very long sessions report fatigue or pressure over time.
Design stands out with a distinctive blocky stem look and premium finishes that many reviewers find sharp and upscale.
Design is repeatedly described as premium and stylish, with new colorways and a recognizable Momentum look. Many reviews note the external design is very similar to the prior generation, so upgrades are mostly internal.
Tip selection is commonly limited to three sizes, which most can work with but feels sparse at this price tier for very small or very large ears.
Multiple ear tip sizes and fin options are a recurring positive, supporting both comfort and isolation. Some reviewers still struggle to get a consistent seal due to tip shape or softness, so fit can be somewhat ear-dependent.
EQ customization is a major strength, with an 8-band EQ and advanced tweaking options that let users significantly reshape the sound.
EQ tools are considered effective for shaping the sound, and many reviewers recommend using them to tailor bass or clarity. A few power users want a more advanced EQ than the built-in 5-band option and report limitations or compression when pushing bands.
The find-earbuds tools (audible beeps and last-known location style tracking) are generally useful and easy to trigger in the app.
Find-my style tracking and precision locating are not emphasized, and multiple reviewers note it is not on the same level as Apple ecosystem tracking. If you often misplace earbuds, this is a weaker point versus AirPods.
Default tuning is often described as balanced or close to a preference curve, and the multi-driver setup helps maintain clarity across lows, mids, and highs.
Measured/tonal accuracy is broadly good, but several reviewers note a mild upper-mid/high underemphasis that can read as less crisp detail out of the box. Personalization tools and EQ can compensate, and many still find the tuning musically pleasing.
Included accessories are typically appreciated, especially the multiple ear tip sizes and stabilizing fins plus USB-C cable. This variety helps users find a better seal and fit.
Instrument separation and imaging are consistently strong, helping complex mixes stay organized even with bass-forward tracks.
Instrument separation and imaging are strong, with reviewers frequently noting easy placement of instruments and clean layering. This is a recurring reason these are favored for immersive music listening.
LDAC support is consistently highlighted as a premium feature, with the usual tradeoff of higher power draw in real-world use.
At higher volumes, distortion is generally kept in check, with some reviewers noting the sound stays composed near the top of the range.
At higher listening levels, clarity is usually maintained, and multiple sources note low distortion or clean playback. The main caveat is that pushing volume higher to overcome outside noise is not ideal for hearing health.
Noise reduction for calls and ANC-related wind filtering helps in many scenarios, but results vary, with multiple reviewers pointing to wind as the hardest condition.
Noise reduction for calls is inconsistent across reviews. Wind remains the most common weakness, and some tests report background noise suppression that is less reliable than top competitors.
Call quality is generally clear in quiet settings, but some reviews note compression or muffling as background noise rises, and wind can be a challenge in certain tests.
Call mic quality is mixed: many find it fine in quiet to moderate settings, and some report clear voice pickup. Others rate it below class leaders, especially outdoors, with processing artifacts or inconsistent clarity in noisy streets.
Midrange comes through clearly with strong vocal presence and good musical detail, especially with the Signature or Knowles-style tunings.
Midrange is generally praised for natural vocals and good presence, often cited as a key strength. A few reviewers note an upper-mid dip or a darker voicing out of the box that can reduce perceived clarity until adjusted.
Compatibility across phones and computers is broadly positive, with some caveats around platform-specific codec support (notably iPhone and LDAC).
Multi-platform use is generally good across phones and computers, but the experience is not equal across ecosystems. iPhone works reliably for basics, yet the most compelling codec and feature benefits largely land on compatible Android devices.
Multipoint works well for many users with quick switching, but at least one review reports finicky behavior that required manual device management.
Multipoint is supported and usually works as expected for switching between two devices. Some reviewers note occasional quirks or platform-specific issues, but overall reliability is viewed as solid after firmware updates.
With ANC off, passive isolation is described as usable but not standout, and tip choice plays a big role in the seal.
Passive isolation is strong when the seal is right, helped by multiple ear tip sizes and stabilizing fins. A few users report seal sensitivity depending on ear shape and tip stiffness, which can impact both sound and ANC.
Portability is good in-pocket for the earbuds themselves, but the fabric case is frequently described as chunky. Several reviewers accept the size as a premium tradeoff, while others prefer smaller cases for everyday carry.
Preset EQs provide meaningful variety, but naming can be confusing and some presets (especially brighter ones) may not suit everyone.
Sound Personalization and presets are often highlighted as genuinely useful, helping users correct tonal preferences and automate settings via Sound Zones. Results depend on user patience and ear fit, but most find the feature worthwhile.
Sensors such as in-ear detection are generally reported as accurate and convenient, reliably pausing and resuming playback. This contributes to the overall flagship feel and day-to-day ease of use.
Sidetone is a well-liked call feature that helps users regulate their speaking volume and feel more natural on calls.
Setup is usually quick and straightforward, with several reviews praising how easy pairing and basic configuration are.
Setup is usually straightforward, and firmware updates address some early quirks; most reviewers describe smooth pairing and daily use. A minority report pairing oddities, platform glitches, or UI annoyances that prevent a flawless experience.
Across reviews, Pro X is praised for lively, detailed sound that competes with premium flagships, though a few reviewers call it more of an all-arounder than a market leader.
Across reviews, sound quality is a standout: rich, detailed, and engaging with a spacious presentation. A minority find the stock tuning a bit warm/dark or slightly lacking upper-mid or top-end bite, but EQ and Sound Personalization can dial in clarity.
Soundstage is typically moderate rather than huge, but positioning and spatial precision are frequently called out as a strength.
Soundstage is consistently reported as wide and immersive for true wireless, with a strong sense of space. Some describe it as more expansive than key rivals, while others call it excellent but not the most out-of-head possible.
Spatial audio features are not a focus here, and multiple sources note the lack of built-in spatial audio/head tracking compared with some rivals. For listeners who prioritize immersive spatial modes, this can be a deciding drawback.
Fit stability is generally good for daily use and light workouts, but removing fit-wings and tip choice can affect how locked-in it feels for some users.
Stability is generally strong, with fins helping keep the earbuds secure during movement and even light workouts. A small subset report fit/seal challenges that can make them feel less locked-in.
Touch controls offer a large target and good customization, but sensitivity can be hit-or-miss for some users and swipe gestures are sometimes expected but not always present.
Touch controls are generally described as responsive and customizable, with quick mode switching. Some users simply dislike touch input or note occasional mis-triggers in wet conditions, but responsiveness itself is usually strong.
Transparency/ambient mode is often rated excellent with multiple strength levels, though higher settings can introduce hiss, occlusion, or extra white noise for some ears.
Transparency is often described as natural and adjustable, with some calling it among the best they have used. A minority report slight hiss/white noise or say it could be more lifelike compared with Apple or Bose in certain environments.
Treble is mostly clean and detailed, but certain presets can sound bright or fatiguing and one review notes slightly restrained upper-treble bite out of the box.
Treble is typically smooth, airy, and non-fatiguing, with sparkle that avoids harshness. The main criticism is that the highest frequencies can feel slightly tamed or recessed for listeners who want extra bite and air.
USB-C is standard here and is repeatedly mentioned as the primary wired charging option.
USB-C charging is standard and frequently mentioned, though some note the case port placement is unconventional. In practice, wired charging is easy, and most emphasis is on the convenience of pairing USB-C with Qi wireless charging.
Voice assistant support is present via controls, but it is treated as a basic convenience feature rather than a standout differentiator.
Volume gets loud enough for most use, but a few reviews want more headroom outdoors or note it is not the loudest in its class.
Volume output is generally adequate, but at least one test found the earbuds on the quieter side, sometimes needing near-max volume for certain tracks. Most listening impressions still describe the presentation as full and satisfying at normal levels.
The IP55 rating is repeatedly cited as a meaningful durability perk for sweat, rain, and dust exposure.
The IP54 rating is frequently mentioned as a meaningful upgrade, making them suitable for workouts, rain, and dust exposure. They are not designed for submersion, so they remain a splash and sweat solution rather than a swim option.
Weight is noticeable for some: a few reviews describe them as heavy or fatiguing after hours, while others find the distribution and fins keep them comfortable. Comfort varies significantly by ear shape and tip choice.
