Most reviewers rate ANC highly, with several calling it excellent or top tier, though one subway-focused test found it only barely adequate in very loud environments.
Pros: Volume output, Audio-video sync accuracy
Cons: Multipoint connectivity reliability, LDAC
ANC drew mostly positive reactions, from useful to very strong, but several reviewers still found it behind the best competitors or dependent on fit.
Pros: Volume output, Comfort during long use
Cons: aptX, LDAC
ANC was broadly useful but not universally class-leading; some reviewers called it excellent or effective, while others found it merely decent or underwhelming.
Pros: Integrated microphone, Frequency response accuracy
Cons: LDAC, Ear tip size options
Reviewers agreed ANC is the weakest major feature: two hands-on reviews found it modest or not serious, while the specs-focused comparison expected improvement over Buds 3.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Soundstage width
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Stability
