Pros
Sort
-
Call quality is the product’s strongest consensus win. Experts and customers repeatedly call it excellent, clear, or best-in-class, with only a few defective or echo-prone units dragging sentiment down.
-
Noise cancellation is one of the clearest strengths: reviewers repeatedly say it cuts traffic, yard tools, warehouse machinery, fans, and office noise very effectively. A smaller group still finds it below top-tier rivals or notices random switching and distortion.
-
Broad overall reactions lean very positive, with many owners calling these among the best earbuds they have used. A few very short reviews are generic praise rather than detail-rich feedback.
-
Microphone noise reduction is outstanding in the strongest reviews. Callers often cannot hear lawn mowers, trains, traffic, kids, fans, or other background noise, though defective units can undercut the experience.
-
Sound quality is generally liked, especially after EQ, with owners praising clear music, strong bass, and overall fun tuning. The main dissent comes from listeners who find the sound muddy, dull, or poor for music.
-
Comfort is broadly positive, including long sessions, workouts, commuting, and even sleeping for some users. A minority find the larger buds uncomfortable after a few hours or a poor match for their ears.
-
EQ customization is a real advantage. Reviewers repeatedly say the app’s custom EQ and HearID-style tuning can improve the sound, though a few disliked the EQ or account requirement.
-
Multipoint is a standout convenience. Reviewers like connecting up to three devices and switching between work, phone, and laptop, although LDAC tradeoffs remain.
-
Stability is strong for many users during workouts, running, yard work, and daily movement. The exceptions are mostly ear-shape related, where the buds fall out despite the included tips.
-
Build quality is usually described as premium, sturdy, or solid. A few complaints target the case feeling plastic-like, but the buds themselves are generally viewed as well made.
-
Voice and music stay clear at high output for many users. Several customers praise loud, clear calls and music, including strong volume without distortion.
-
Value is strong when reviewers focus on call quality, ANC, features, and price versus premium rivals. Negative value comments come from buyers disappointed by battery life, fit, app friction, or music quality.
-
The touchscreen case is useful for quick settings, battery checks, and pairing, and many owners like it more than expected. Critics call it bulky, gimmicky, plastic-feeling, or awkward to use.
-
LDAC support is a plus for Android and hi-res listeners. The caveat is that some modes, such as multipoint or spatial processing, can force tradeoffs.
-
Charging earns praise when it works: fast top-ups and wireless charging are repeatedly appreciated. Complaints center on missing wireless charging for the price, uneven bud charging, or fiddly placement in the case.
-
Fit is a major strength for many, especially during workouts, running, mowing, and long wear. Still, fit is not universal, and several buyers returned them because the buds fell out or never seated well.
-
Translation gets light but positive feedback. Reviewers describe live translation as part of the feature-rich app, and one customer says the AI translation works really well.
-
Design reactions are mostly favorable, with users calling the buds stylish, cute, and more appealing than stem-style designs. The shiny finish and case size are more divisive.
-
Passive isolation benefits from the Bose-like oval tips and secure seal. Owners who get the fit right report strong isolation even before ANC does the heavy lifting.
-
The included tip and wing options help many users get a secure custom fit. Large-ear users are the main exception, with some saying even the biggest included tips are too small.
-
The Soundcore app is powerful and heavily featured, especially for EQ and control customization. Some buyers like the depth, but privacy prompts, app-only controls, and broken screens frustrate others.
-
Multi-platform use is mostly positive. Users mention easy movement across phones, PCs, tablets, Macs, and Android devices, with iPhone integration as the main weak point.
-
Bass is powerful and often fun, with several owners praising its punch and depth. Others find the default tuning too bass-heavy, muddy, or lacking definition.
-
Touch controls are highly mixed. Some owners say taps and slides work well, while others find multi-taps unreliable, overly sensitive, or less convenient than app controls.
-
Volume output is usually satisfying, with customers praising loud, clear calls and music. A few comparisons say older models or rivals sound louder.
-
Transparency mode is mostly useful and natural when intentionally enabled. The main complaints are around automatic ambient switching that interrupts music.
-
Accuracy is not the default sound profile’s strongest suit. The buds can sound fast and detailed, but some listeners say the tuning is more exciting than neutral.
-
Water and sweat resistance is treated as useful for workouts, rain, and light shower exposure. Reviewers still recognize these are resistant earbuds, not fully waterproof swim buds.
-
Weight comfort is mostly favorable when the buds are seated, with users calling them light on the ears. The larger size is still a concern for smaller ears and pocket carry.
-
Android users have a better story here than iPhone users. One customer says the buds work very well with Android, while expert coverage also highlights Android-friendly LDAC support.
-
Spatial audio is a nice extra rather than a core reason to buy. Reviewers mention Dolby Atmos and head tracking positively, but one owner finds it only okay.
-
Spatial separation gets limited but positive mention. One reviewer says AI or spatial processing noticeably boosts perceived clarity and separation.
-
Soundstage width earns both praise and criticism. One customer loves the sound stage, while another wants a more spacious presentation at this price.
Cons
Sort
-
AI-related note and speech features are divisive. Some buyers mention unclear or non-working AI behavior, while one iPhone user specifically reports inaccurate speech-to-text capture.
-
Apple integration is a weak spot for some iPhone users. Customers complain that the buds lose Apple-native conveniences and are less adapted to iPhone than AirPods.
-
Midrange clarity is sensitive to tuning. Some listeners hear muddy or washed-out mids, especially when bass is boosted too hard.
-
Setup is usually easy, especially when pairing from the case, but software friction is a real complaint. Some buyers object to required accounts, firmware updates, app glitches, or permissions.
-
Connectivity-related audio breakup appears in a small number of owner reports. One customer heard the sound break up around other wireless earphone users.
-
Treble clarity is not universally loved. A few listeners say the tuning needs more tweeter-like sparkle or loses mids and treble at lower volumes.
-
The case finish can show wear or fingerprints. One reviewer calls the touchscreen case a fingerprint magnet and worries about drop durability.
-
Portability is limited by the case. Some like the smaller case compared with older models, but repeated complaints call it chunky, bulky, or less pocket-friendly.
-
Codec support is a mixed point. LDAC is praised by Android listeners, but experts note tradeoffs and the lack of broader codec support such as aptX.
-
PC-focused buyers may miss a dedicated dongle. One reviewer wanted a UC dongle for easier computer integration, even though multipoint helped soften the complaint.
-
Bluetooth impressions are split. Several reviewers praise quick pairing or multi-device switching, while others report poor range, disconnects, or difficult connections.
-
Voice assistant support is uneven. One customer likes the Siri/Alexa-like assistant, while another strongly dislikes losing hands-free Google Assistant behavior.
-
Find My support is mixed. Expert reviews and feature-focused buyers like having it, but one iPhone user says Apple Find My did not work as expected.
-
Battery life is the biggest recurring tradeoff. Some users get solid runtime, but many say ANC, AI, LDAC, or call-heavy use drains the buds much faster than expected.
-
Smart sensors and Easy Chat-style behavior are useful for some and irritating for others. Praise focuses on whisper or conversation features, while complaints mention unwanted ambient switching and poor handoff behavior.
