The sliding case has indicators to show battery status of each buds. The case though bit big in size comparatively to other TWS cases so you might feel uneasy while carrying it around in your pockets. But other than that the build quality and design won’t disappoint you.

Their sound profile is also quite well-balanced, allowing them to suit a wide variety of musical genres, though their slightly overemphasized bass response should add just a bit of extra thump and rumble to your favorite EDM and hip-hop tracks.

Their amazing 10-hour + continuous battery life should be more than enough to last you through long days on the go. They’re comfortable enough to wear for long listening sessions and do a great job of staying in your ears, which is great if you want to wear them while you’re out on a run or at the gym.
