Wassup Community,
Yup. This is my review after about 2–3 weeks of daily usage.
It’s a bit late to India, but honestly it launched at a really strong price, especially with the Flipkart deals going around. After using it as my main headphones for work, music, and random long listening sessions, I finally have proper thoughts.
Design
First thing you notice is how minimal it looks. Very CMF. Very intentional. Nothing extra just for the sake of it.
Comfort is honestly one of the strongest parts, you can do hours in these without feeling pressure, and the lightweight design really helps here. The replaceable ear cups are genuinely cool. Being able to swap them whenever you want gives it personality and also makes it feel more modular instead of disposable, which is rare at this price.
Yeah, it’s a plastic body. I don’t know if I’m just spoiled by the Headphone (1), but you can feel the difference in materials. That said, it keeps the weight down and doesn’t feel cheap, cheap; it just feels more practical than premium.
Sound Quality
The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price. It’s easy to listen to in long sessions without fatigue. The tuning feels balanced enough for daily listening, and Energy Slider is honestly a fun feature. Being able to adjust the sound character quickly depending on mood is nice. I do feel like even at max energy, it could be a bit punchier-especially if you like heavier bass presence.
The special modes, like the Cinema Mode, actually make a difference by widening the soundstage and making content more immersive.
Active noise cancellation seems to work miracles. It cuts out most of the everyday distractions and makes commutes or even work a lot easier. Calls are decent, too-its mic works well and people can hear you clear as daylight-but there’s still some room for improvement on this in future models.
Also, LDAC support is here, which is great. It is turned off by default but once you turn it on, you do get better audio quality if your device supports it.
Battery Life
This may actually be the best of these headphones.
The claimed 100 hours sounds wild, but honestly, it holds up really well. I didn’t feel battery anxiety even once. You just forget to charge them because they keep going. You can get up to 100 hours playback without ANC, which matches my general experience.
Feedback / Things I’d Improve
• Better tactility for differentiation on the buttons, especially the power button. Sometimes, one does not want to hear the power-on voice just because they pressed wrong.
• Materials could be a bit better, as the surface scratches more easily than one would expect. • Energy slider could push a little more punch at max.
Final Thoughts
For the price point, this is honestly very strong. Comfortable, minimal, good sound, crazy battery life, and some genuinely thoughtful features instead of gimmicks. It feels like a product that knows what it wants to be.
Simple, functional, and surprisingly fun to use daily. That said see y’all in the next post or catch me at Feb 14th in Bangalore for the Store opening!
Cheers,
Thanish.
