- Sound Profile: Punchy bass-forward tuning with clear mids/highs; LDAC enables detailed hi-res streaming, outperforming SBC/AAC rivals. Ultra Bass slider adds thump without muddiness, but default Pop EQ may need tweaks for neutrality.
- ANC Performance: Strong low-frequency blocking (e.g., traffic rumble); adaptive mode adjusts via app. Transparency is functional but hissy—better for quick awareness checks.
- App Extras: Nothing X app shines with EQ presets, ANC sliders, and Audiodo personalization (hearing test creates custom profiles). Gaming mode reduces lag, but it’s not class-leading.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Exceptional value with LDAC hi-res audio and 50dB ANC—rivals buds like Sony WF-C700N.
- Long battery life and comfortable IP55 build for all-day use/gym.
- Solid call quality and app personalization (Audiodo test is a standout).
- Playful design in vibrant colors.
Cons:
- No functional Smart Dial (just a fidget loop)—frustrating vs. Buds Pro 2.
- EQ limited to 5 bands (not fully parametric); spatial audio feels generic.
- Transparency mode unnatural with hiss; mic picks up ambient noise in wind.
- No wireless charging case.
