What we can tell you
Active cancellation in an in-ear shape from a brand that built its reputation on it, and a record with almost nothing else in it: no battery figure, driver size, weight or water resistance rating is published on a page we could read. The cancellation topology is not named either, so the specification says active but not how.
What the specifications favour
- Active cancellation the wearer hears
- An in-ear fit, which adds passive isolation to the active kind
- The recorded price was under the list figure
What to check before you buy
- Almost no specification is published
- The cancellation topology is not stated
