Noise Cancellation Depth in the Cabin
During cruising, low-frequency engine drone was significantly reduced — even without music playing, the overall ambient volume clearly dropped with ANC engaged. This was the strongest noise cancellation depth in this comparison.
Comfort Over 12 Hours of Wear
The memory-foam ear cushions showed no noticeable clamping discomfort over the long flight. Headband pressure was evenly distributed, and putting them back on after a few breaks required no readjustment.

32 hours of battery life covered the round trip without a recharge, but the body is fairly large — it takes up meaningful space in a carry-on bag, making it less portable than true wireless earbuds for daily commuting.
