I’ve been rocking these beauties as my daily driver for the past 3–4 weeks as part of the community review program — and wow, what a ride!
This is actually my first-ever pair of over-the-head headphones, and honestly, the very first time I put them on I thought, “Hmm… these feel a little heavy.” But give it a couple of days and boom — they just melted into my routine like they’d always been there.
Setup? Super smooth. The controls? So intuitively placed that it almost felt like second nature from day one.
For any audio device, especially a pair of TWS headphones, my priorities are simple:
Audio Quality
Battery Life
Ergonomics
Let’s dive in 👇

🔊 Audio Quality
I’m not an audiophile — let’s get that out of the way — but these headphones sound fantastic. I use them at the office, on walks, and even at the gym, and the noise cancellation is a game-changer in busy environments.
The audio is crisp and clean — none of that muffled or crackly nonsense you sometimes get in this price range. There’s a nice separation between the highs and lows, and once you push that energy slider up… let’s just say it’s like stepping into a whole different vibe, especially if you’re a bass lover.
Plus, with the Nothing X personal sound settings and custom EQ, you can really make the audio feel like your own.
Call quality? Solid. I’ve taken calls over WhatsApp, voice calls indoors and outdoors — even in the windy streets of Scotland — and had zero issues. People could hear me loud and clear, no shouting needed.

🔋 Battery Life
This is where it gets even better. The battery life actually delivers what it promises. With ANC on most of the time, I’ve been charging these once every three days — and I use them a lot. No battery anxiety here.

🧠 Ergonomics (My Favorite Part!)
As a product engineer, this is where I nerd out.
👉 If you’re not into finicky capacitive touch controls, you’ll love this: physical buttons. Real, clicky, satisfying buttons. And they’re cleverly placed — your go-to buttons live on the right earcup, while the “set it and forget it” ones chill on the left. They’re well-spaced too, so no accidental button mashing mid-song.
Right Ear Cup
Left Ear Cup
👉 The cushions and headband are soft and comfy, and the lightweight overhead band disappears from your mind after a while. I literally forget they’re sitting on my head sometimes.

⚠️ What Could Be Better
No product is perfect — so here’s the honest bit:
Sound Leak: The cushioning is great for chatting without taking them off, but it also means the audio can leak a bit at higher volumes. If I’m in a public space, I keep the volume lower to avoid sharing my playlist with the world.
AUX Cable Use: You still need the headphones powered on to use AUX, which feels odd. Maybe fixable with a software update? Not a dealbreaker for me, but worth knowing.
Long Session Comfort: After 2–3 hours straight, I start to feel some ear fatigue and warmth. A little break usually solves it.
No Wear Detection: This one I really wish they had. It’s not a must-have, but it would make the experience feel that much more premium.
