Our take

A redesigned shape that fits more ears, a smaller case and USB-C. Simple, good earbuds.

We listen on commutes, flights and long days at a desk, and compare noise cancellation, call quality and fit against the earlier models we still own.

Pros

  • Better fit than before
  • Small case
  • Good call quality

Cons

  • No noise cancellation
  • No wireless charging
