Stability is a major strength for most reviewers, with repeated praise for secure fit during running, workouts, and movement, despite one wobbly-ear caveat.

-
Midrange clarity is generally positive, with reviewers calling mids clearer, crisper, or natural, aside from occasional vocal muddiness at high volume.

Charging is mostly positive because of quick-charge performance and improved case contacts, but lack of wireless charging hurts some impressions.
