The Verdict
They're white plastic beans that play music. Somehow the fourth version of a white plastic bean costs more than the third version of a white plastic bean. They work flawlessly, which is the least interesting thing about them.
The Good
- ✓Sound quality that makes your old earbuds feel like tin cans on a string
- ✓Spatial Audio turns your skull into a concert hall
- ✓The case is so small you will lose it at least twice
- ✓Seamless Apple ecosystem integration for the deeply committed
The Bad
- ✗You are paying $129 for something you will drop in a toilet
- ✗Everyone on the subway already has them, you absolute conformist
- ✗Android users need not apply
