The price matches the lowest they have reached so far, and the deal applies to all four color options. Reviewers say the earbuds deliver strong performance for the cost, including extensive EQ options for tuning the sound. Active noise cancellation handles low drones like air conditioners and airplane cabin noise well, though it struggles with chatter in busy spaces.
