  1. Q2 202660/1004.4★5 reviews

    Reviewers praise exceptional comfort, lightweight design, and clear mids/highs for open-ear awareness. Nearly all note very weak bass, poor fit during exercise, and average battery life.

    • Very comfortable for long wear, lightweight, and sit outside ear canal without pressure.
    • Good for situational awareness and podcasts; poor for bass-heavy music due to open design.
    • Multiple reports of earbuds falling out during jogging or head movement; fit not secure for active use.
    • Bass response nearly nonexistent even with EQ; only SBC/AAC codecs, no LDAC or aptX.
  2. Q4 202510/1003 reviews

    One buyer found earbuds fall out; another says they work great for long calls but initially uncomfortable; third reports battery drain fix from prior model.

    • Earbuds fall out despite size adjustments; unreliable fit for jogging or normal use.
    • Excellent for loud work calls; comfortable after break-in; battery lasts 2-3 days.
    • Previous model had battery drain issue; replacement version improved reliability.
  3. Q2 202550/1004 reviews

    Reviews show split opinions: excellent fit and office use praised, but audio quality criticized and a returning user dislikes the new design.

    • Comfortable and secure fit, especially for active use and all-day wear.
    • Great for office use: allows ambient awareness and avoids isolating others.
    • Audio quality is poor, not loud enough for one reviewer.
    • Design changed from previous version, disappointing a returning customer.
