Professional reviewers consider the H3 a flagship-level performer for its rich, V-shaped sound signature, extensive high-resolution codec support, and strong ANC, though they criticize the unstable companion app and occasional LDAC-related connectivity issues. The hybrid driver layout and customizable EQ are highlighted as differentiators, while the protruding fit and bass tightness are noted as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users praise the noticeable audio upgrade with LDAC/aptX Lossless, long battery life, fast charging, and effective ANC for commuting. Recurring complaints focus on app instability, LDAC-induced dropouts, earbuds protruding during workouts, and the need for EQ tweaks to tighten the bass.
Professional reviewers consistently commend the XC1 for its exceptional comfort, secure fit, and versatile sound customization via the Baseus app. The combination of Bose tuning, Dolby Audio, and LDAC satisfies audiophiles, while the fast charging, low latency, and robust IP66 rating make it a strong choice for active users and mobile professionals.
