GravaStar Sirius Plus

The GravaStar Sirius Plus nails the look and the noise cancellation, with ANC in the 93rd percentile and a case that's basically a fidget toy. Sound quality is the weak link at the 29th percentile, and the app is a headache. Worth it if you want style and silence, skip it if you want great audio.

The ANC is the star here. Hybrid dual-feed noise cancellation puts these in the top tier of our database, which is impressive for earbuds in this price range. Battery life is solid too, with 7 hours from the buds and 28 total with the case. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps connections stable. But the 10mm driver doesn't deliver the goods. Sound quality ranks in the 29th percentile, and several owners report the bass thins out when ANC is off. The mic is middle of the pack at the 67th percentile, fine for calls but nothing special. The app is where things get annoying. You need an account, it wants location access, and the EQ settings confuse more than they help.

Against the Sony WF-1000XM5 or Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation, the Sirius Plus can't compete on sound or software polish. Those are flagship products with mature apps and refined audio. The Nothing Buds 2 offers a similarly distinctive design with better overall execution. The Soundcore P31i is the budget alternative that trades the fancy case for more reliable performance. Where the GravaStar wins is pure aesthetic and ANC punch per dollar. It's a style-first purchase in a category where most competitors play it safe.

Pricing is a bit scattered. US listings range from USD 90 to USD 110 across two vendors, so shop around before you commit. At the lower end, you're getting strong ANC and a unique design that stands out from the sea of generic earbuds. At the higher end, you're creeping into territory where more polished options live. The build quality and noise cancellation justify the price if those are your priorities. But if sound quality is what you care about most, you're paying a premium for looks.

The GravaStar Sirius Plus is a pair of true wireless earbuds that leans hard into looks. The aluminum alloy case, RGB lighting, and even a bottle opener make it clear these aren't trying to blend in. Under the hood you get Bluetooth 5.3, hybrid ANC, and a 10mm dynamic driver. On paper, that's a solid kit for the price.

But the data tells a more complicated story. ANC performance is genuinely strong, landing in the 93rd percentile in our database. Build quality and connectivity are also well above average. The catch? Sound quality sits in the 29th percentile, and user sentiment is even rougher at the 33rd. Owners love the design but keep running into software quirks and occasional defects.

Skip these if you're an audio enthusiast who cares about detailed, balanced sound. The 29th percentile sound ranking means you'll be disappointed if you're used to better-tuned earbuds. Also skip if you hate mandatory apps and account sign-ups just to tweak settings. And if you need earbuds you can power off without carrying the case everywhere, these will drive you nuts.

Buy these if you want earbuds that look like they fell off a sci-fi movie set and you care more about blocking out the world than critical listening. The ANC is excellent, the build is sturdy, and the battery life won't let you down. Just know you're signing up for a quirky app and sound that's fine but not great. If you're an audio purist or you hate fiddling with buggy software, keep scrolling.
