Review on NANNIO A1 Wireless ANC Earphones: Bluetooth 5.1 Earbuds with Qi Charging Case & 🎧 Active Noise Cancelling – HiFi Stereo Deep Bass, Touch Control, Voice Assistant – for iOS/Android/MAC/Windows by Steph Washington

Well, it looks – it does, sounds – like I have a new favorite pair of truly wireless ANC headphones. These NANNIO A1s look and sound just like $200. + Sony WF-1000XM3 - three times cheaper! Did I mention they sound as good as Sony out of the box? Their ANC probably isn't that good, but it's not bad either. Additionally, the A1 has a handy pass-through mode that lets you carry on conversations without removing the headphones from your ears, although Sony's pass-through is more easily accessible. And all this with A1 without installation. app on your phone. If you're like me, your phone is jam-packed with apps and you're welcome. I have to say that I wasn't initially impressed with the A1's sound quality until I tried the smallest earbuds that came with it. They give me the right closure for my ears, which is unusual as the medium or large tips on most headphones usually work best for me. So, new buyers - if you're not hearing the excellent, full-range sound I'm describing (with solid but not overwhelming bass), try other earpads. Also, take a cue from Sony whose earbuds like these go deep into your ear canal: lift your upper earlobe when you insert the earbuds. You get a tighter fit. The A1s also play for a long time before needing a recharge - comparable to the Sony I think. And then you can also charge them wirelessly on a Qi panel or with a USB-C cable (the latter included). In fact, I only have two minor complaints about it: 1) The touch controls only handle pause/play, ANC/pass. - through, back and voice assistant - without volume control or skip ahead. But that's because each earbud is designed to connect to your BT device independently, meaning each earbud has the same controls. Luckily, smartwatches can adjust volume and track forward/back movements. 2) I could do without the LED flashing every few seconds while you wear it. But hey, if you're running at night, you might appreciate this feature for added roadside visibility. Otherwise, these buds can withstand sweat (but not heavy rain or full immersion). They also work well with Windows 10 laptops and older Android 5 phones, and have excellent noise cancellation - as good as Sony's. Traffic lights at the intersections of New York don't bother them at all! So I highly recommend this NANNIO A1 and believe me I have listened to many headphones including many ANC models.
