Why we think so.
Worth choosing?
It's a fine time to buy, but another model does better on battery life. Of the 22 other earbuds we compare, some do better on battery life (Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 and Shokz OpenRun Pro 2) and water resistance (AirPods 5 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro). We can't compare comfort and fit, call quality and workouts yet.
