The verdict
A decent in-between option that balances app support, good battery life, and solid functionality. While the plasticky feel and wonky default frequency response are drawbacks, the lightweight design and effective customization through the app make these a sensible choice for budget-conscious shoppers who don't need flagship performance.
✓What we like
✓Good clamp force that keeps headphones secure without causing discomfort
✓Excellent battery life with 40+ hours of playback
✓Lightweight design at 192g, among the lightest over-ear wireless headphones
✓Controls work well with responsive buttons
✓Effective EQ customization through the app
✕What could be better
✕Plasticky construction with unrefined edges and raised seams on headband
✕Somewhat wonky frequency response in default tuning
✕Earcup padding can heat up and feel sticky at room temperature after extended wear
✕Lacks the upscale finish of premium Sony models
