How it compares in Headphones, Earphones & Accessories
Across the 50 rated headphones, earphones & accessories products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 4.6, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count. That places it second of the 50 we rank here.
It carries 44,438 ratings against a category median of 10,103. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £3.99 to £189, where the midpoint is about £18.99. It is priced above the field and rated above it too, so the premium is at least matched by how buyers rate it.
