No complaints, I recommend to buy.

After the Sony xb550ap headphones, I wanted good bluetooth sound, because I got sick of soldering the minijacks (Sonya's plug flew off after half a year of use, which is strange, because I have an even older model and there has been an unkillable wire with a plug for more than 3 years).
In general, twisted the high and low frequencies for a pleasant sound.
I had a good discount on jbl and snatched this model for 5k. I knew what was waiting for me (judging by the reviews) and calmly reacted to all the identified shortcomings (except for connecting to laptops, it’s a shame, of course).
As for the effectiveness of noise reduction - all low-frequency rumble disappears almost to zero (in the subway and tram I finally fully hear the music), but the high ones make their way from the "outside" world. I will consider that this is a concern for safety at pedestrian crossings - so at least you can hear that the car is rushing with a roar from around the corner (as a fan of Aftershokz headphones and a fan of running around the city, I appreciate it).
I have enough charge for a couple of days if I listen to music with ANC all day. I could probably live on a single charge for a week if I turn off the ANC, but the flat sound just infuriates. For this score only 4 amateurish points out of 5.
﻿

Pros

- I'm visual, so I'm dazzled by their appearance (I took white ones), it's such that I want to walk with them even just like that, without listening to music - active noise isolation. I'm new to this, there's nothing to compare to, but just turning on ANC, without music, I was shocked to find out how much hum I have at work (although I kind of work in a "calm" office as a developer) - they sit very comfortably (I have a small head), I wear them for 4 hours a day on average, my ears got used to it on the third day - great sound with ANC turned on after small equalizer tweaks (I like rock, so I like to twist some values for it). - such an excellent sound with noise reduction that I began to hear new sounds in the songs I used to wear, and somewhere I began to notice how the vocalist was out of tune (even somehow insulting)

Cons

I agree with some of the comments: - very flat sound with ANC off. Somehow I twisted the values in the equalizer to a tolerable sound, but still it's some kind of trash, you have to google why it works like that for them. Even ating the firmware to 6.2.0 did not save. - There is a barely noticeable "hiss" from the ANC when the music is turned off in complete silence, but it does not annoy me - from 20 percent to 0 is discharged in less than an hour with ANC on in noisy public transport - the touch button of the voice assistant is located in such a way that you constantly touch it (and as a result, for 3 seconds you listen not to music, but to game from the "answering machine"). You can disable it through the application, but after the connection is disconnected, this setting is reset, which is unpleasant. - you can not simultaneously charge and listen to music via bluetooth - only through a wire, ANC is also turned off, respectively. In general, this item upset me, because my Aftershokz were able to simultaneously charge and sound via bluetooth, which is very convenient for me.
