- Comfortable, lightweight fit; over-ear design preferred to on-ear models.

- Slightly less bass than Bose QC45; app EQ tutorials needed for best sound.
- Q4 202593/100
Buyers praise the premium build, excellent sound, and long battery life for the price. ANC is good but not top-tier. Minor gripes: no charging brick and flimsy carrying case.
- Excellent sound quality with deep bass and clean mids/highs, even for the price.
- Premium build with soft ear cushions, lightweight design, and intuitive controls.
- ANC is decent for isolating noise but not top-tier, especially without music.
- No charging brick included; carrying case is a soft pouch, not a hard case.
