Gadgetexplained

When listening to audio, the sound quality is clear with plenty of dynamic bass sound. The max volume level isn't the loudest.You can choose from AAC or SBC bluetooth audio, which is less power hungry.

Item arrived very fast. Tested working fine. Personally, I find the audio is acceptable, ANC is good enough. Only drawback is the controls, need time to get accustom to it without the physical buttons.
