The idea of headphones with active noise cancellation was "sold" to me by an acquaintance with whom I flew next to me on an airplane. He put them on me (after turning off the noise canceler), and then he pressed a button on the phone, and I stopped hearing the engines. A week has passed since that flight :) First of all, I did not consider them as hi-fi headphones, I considered them as bluetooth headphones for noisy transport, such as an airplane, and with the hope that maybe the subway will be fine, well and sometimes you can talk through them if you are too lazy to reach into your pocket for the phone. The reality even exceeded expectations: I ride them on the subway, everything is super, and the headset copes with a bang, even in the wind. All other pluses are described above, and they can be described in one phrase - a very balanced product. Really comfortable. But not without a downside. Unfortunately, the weak link is the quality of the bluetooth module. It is very weak :( this is very disappointing. I use Sony NWZ-A17 as a sound source, and so on the street, if the player is in the front pocket of jeans, then the sound stutters / sticks to the state of impossibility of listening, while the player has a setting - "communication priority", if you set the sound priority, is still worse. With a phone and a tablet, the situation is better, but not much: the tablet in the backpack also stutters. Today, the player was in the top pocket of the backpack, the distance to the ears is no more than 50 cm, for 40 minutes of the road, the sound disappeared several times. This, of course, is bad. But, perhaps, it also depends on the source, because the phone from the same front jeans pocket plays noticeably more confidently. There are no complaints in a stationary position, and in transport, for the sake of which I bought, everything will be great, but after the purchase I wanted to use my ears constantly outside the office or apartment. I decided to keep the headphones, because I didn’t see anything more convenient for an airplane, and for the street I will continue to try different use cases, even if I have to transfer everything to the phone, which may also be a good option.
