Cons: You can’t swap tips with any models you want
When you put them in the charging case, they keep the Bluetooth connection on for a while before shutting off
Some issues with EQ due to App/firmware using Amazon Music (could be my POCO but i found a solution)
No sensors for automatic pause/play
No travel bag for the charging case
Slightly white or noise floor when in ANC mode (improved with the last update)

Cons: It doesn’t excel at anything in particular
Nozzle differences are not that noticeable
Technicalities are slightly below average
The hole on the nozzle affects the bass response and not all tips are suitable for such a minimal insertion.
