This was a sale price when recorded. Check the current price and selected variant before ordering.
No retailer rating is included in this comparison.
What we can tell you
Active cancellation with a transparency mode, and a battery figure quoted two ways (with cancellation on, and in transparency mode) which is more informative than a single headline number. In-ear fit. Beyond that the published record is thin: no case battery figure, no weight, no driver size and no water resistance rating.
What the specifications favour
- Battery quoted separately for cancellation and transparency modes
- A transparency mode recorded separately from cancellation, because they are opposites
- The recorded price was under the list figure
What to check before you buy
- No case battery figure, weight or driver size is published
- No water resistance rating is published
