Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives a Harman preference score of 69, a solid result for such an inexpensive wired in-ear. A 22 ohm impedance and 106 dB sensitivity let it run loudly from any phone or laptop without an amp. It includes an inline microphone for calls, and the single 10 mm dynamic driver keeps the sound coherent.

Cons: A deviation of 2.46 dB from the target means some coloration remains in the midrange and treble. The wired connection means no wireless freedom, and the CCA CRA is rated higher at a similar cost.
