Verdict: A premium pick for listeners who put sound quality first, with an eye on longevity thanks to replaceable batteries. Android phones with Snapdragon Sound get the most out of them; iPhones are limited to AAC.
Good for
- Sound-focused listeners who want aptX Lossless or aptX Adaptive hi-res audio
- Long-term owners: the batteries can be replaced instead of binning the earbuds
- Calls in noisy places: four mics per earbud with AI voice isolation
Skip it if
- You use an iPhone and mainly want the best noise cancelling; the AirPods Pro 3 integrate better
- You’re on a budget; these are premium-priced
