Cons

EQ customization was one of the most repeated criticisms, with reviewers wanting a multi-band or custom EQ instead of limited presets.

The lack of a dongle hurt computer and softphone convenience for reviewers who wanted stronger PC reliability or business-call controls.

Hinge durability was a concern because multiple reviewers described loose or fragile-feeling case hinges.

-
Controls were divisive: one reviewer liked reliable push buttons, but several found the physical buttons uncomfortable because pressing them pushed the buds into the ear.

Preset EQ quality was generally weak; reviewers liked Bass mode in some cases, but many found the presets limited or too similar.

Maximum-volume clarity had a caveat: one reviewer heard peaking and high-frequency distortion at max volume.
