LDAC is what separates this from everything cheaper: on a high-resolution source the difference is audible, not theoretical.

49 dB of cancellation at this price is the headline, and it is real on steady low-frequency noise — bus engines, aircraft cabins.

At thirteen hundred rupees the question is not whether it competes with premium earbuds but whether it is better than nothing in your ears on a commute.
