ANC was broadly rated good to excellent, though several reviewers said it still trails the very best Bose, Sony, or Apple options.
Pros: Codec support, Dongle
Cons: Sound leakage, Find My
ANC was broadly praised as strong to excellent, especially for travel and commuting, but a few reviewers found it behind Bose or Sony or somewhat pressure-heavy.
Pros: Immersive audio quality, ANC background noise level
Cons: Replaceable pads/headband, Replaceable earpads
Noise cancellation drew the widest spread, from top-tier and excellent for the price to merely decent or not great.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Weight comfort
Cons: Sidetone adjustment quality, Microphone noise reduction
ANC was useful only to a point: it cut some chatter or treadmill noise, but reviewers agreed it lagged far behind premium buds.
Pros: Stability, Battery
Cons: Volume output, Cable quality
The lack of ANC is treated as a meaningful limitation for airplane or frequent travel use.
Pros: Weight comfort, Button control usability
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Smudge resistance
