• The loudness is decent and you can expect audio immersion, particularly suitable for genres like electronic, hip-hop, and rock.
• With frequency response ranging from 20 Hz (minimum) to 20 kHz (maximum), the earbuds do cover a wide spectrum of audio frequencies on paper.
• However, the sound clarity is an issue. It cracks quite often, which can hamper your overall audio experience.
• The environmental noise cancellation performance is decent and it creates a layer of isolation, but it is not too powerful.
