It's unusual that I'm so ambivalent when it comes to the overall quality of sound delivered, particularly when it is the most important aspect of any set of headphones. All things considered, that's a very strong set of features. There's also wear detection, so your music will be paused automatically if you take one of the earbuds out and will start up again when it goes back in. If you're like me and have phones, smart speakers and computers all braying for attention this can save more than a few seconds when a switch is necessary. The on-bud controls can also be used to play and pause the music as well as skip the current track, but there's no way to skip backwards or to configure the tap controls to better suit your usage.Īn added bonus is that they can be connected to two devices simultaneously. The ANC here managed to impressively kill those noises stone dead.

In my home office, there's often the incessant drone of computer fans and other assorted noises, so I sometimes put on a pair of over-ear headphones just to give me some silence. The transparency mode allowed me to have a conversation with my partner without taking the earbuds out - just pressing and holding on either bud for a couple of seconds switches the modes easily. Again, it's hardly a surprise given the price point, but there's a definite reduction in the background noise while outside without it being completely killed. The earbuds themselves are IPX4 rated, so if you like to get a little sweaty with your exercise or Aotearoa's humidity has you reaching for a towel you won't need to worry about your music cutting out.Īs for the ANC? It's pretty good, but not outstanding. The charging case adds another 28 hours or so of usage that's going to see you through a weekend even if you accidentally leave your charging cable at home. I wore these for up to four hours at a time and it never run out, which isn't too much of a surprise given the company says they'll last around 6 hours with noise cancellation off and at 50 percent volume. Battery-wise, the performance is also pretty strong.
