The wraparound band stays put through running and vigorous activity far better than loose earbuds; lying back can be an exception.

Cons: Bass performance, Volume output
The ear hooks and rear band hold securely through running, sprints, and many workouts. Some gym positions and cycling helmets can shift the band.
Pros: Sound quality, Overall satisfaction
Cons: Volume output, Sound leakage

Pros: Sound quality, Touch control responsiveness
Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, Sensors
The secure fit is another major strength: reviewers ran, jumped, exercised, and shook their heads without the buds falling off. Positioning can be fussier for some ear shapes, but once...
Pros: Comfort during long use, Sound quality
Cons: Carry case quality, Touch control responsiveness
Stability is a major strength for most reviewers, with repeated praise for secure fit during running, workouts, and movement, despite one wobbly-ear caveat.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Sensors
Stability is excellent for most runners and cyclists, including uneven trails and intense sessions. Head shape and high collars can still affect how securely the neckband sits.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Stability

Bluetooth is described as dependable, and switching between connected devices works without much disruption in normal use.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Bass performance, Cable quality
Most reviewers found the fit exceptionally secure during running, jumping rope, gym sessions, and normal movement. One tester experienced an unstable, front-heavy fit on one ear, suggesting ear shape matters.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Carry case quality
Stability is mostly strong because the adjustable design stays secure during runs and movement, though one review found the fit not perfect for jumping.
Pros: Value for money, Equalizer customization
Cons: Bass performance, Preset EQ profile quality

Pros: Overall satisfaction, Offline playback and onboard storage
Cons: Software/setup simplicity, Design and Aesthetics
The connected neckband, revised hooks and redistributed balance resist bouncing or slipping during runs. Extended training sessions required little to no adjustment.
Pros: Charging, Stability
Cons: Bass performance, Sound quality
Most users report a secure clip that stays put through running, workouts, head movement, and long wear. Fit is highly ear-dependent, with a minority experiencing slippage, poor driver alignment, or...
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Sound quality
Cons: Maximum volume clarity, Noise isolation (passive)
The wraparound frame stays secure for ordinary runs, walks, and many upright workouts. Sprints, awkward head movements, and lying back can shift the drivers out of their sound sweet spot.
Pros: Situational awareness, Value for money
Cons: Sound quality, Bass performance
Stability is a major strength in water and workouts, although one reviewer with fit issues felt less secure while running.

Fit stability was mostly praised for workouts and running, but a few reviewers reported wobble or insecurity during movement.
Pros: Value for money, Sound quality
Cons: Touch control responsiveness, Bass performance
The earhooks stay planted through running, HIIT, cycling, and head movement for most users. Ear shape matters, and a minority experienced looseness, falls, or poor fit even with stabilizers.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use

Fit security is highly ear-dependent. Many reviewers ran and worked out without the buds moving, but others reported wobbling, shifting, poor seating, or an inability to keep the ANC position...
