Review summary
Despite a heavy 451-gram weight, placing the batteries in the headband provides balanced distribution, making the headphones comfortable for long listening sessions. The ANC handles constant low frequencies well, such as engine humming, but struggles against sudden conversational noise. Call quality is good under ideal conditions, but the microphones have trouble suppressing background noise in office, street, or outdoor environments.
