⚙️ Real‑World Performance & Feedback

✨ Sound & Call Quality

• Delivers clear, balanced sound with a smooth low-end and immersive richness, thanks to in-app EQ and presets including Bass Boost

• Customers also describe vivacity and detail across genres, though some find overall loudness a bit low

• Voice call clarity is good in moderate environments; wind or high ambient noise can reduce effectiveness 

🔇 ANC Quality

• ANC performs very well in typical listening; in side‑by‑side tests it comes close to Sony WH‑1000XM5 in music modes, though Sony remains slightly superior in pure ANC-only noise suppression

• Some users reported ANC to be less effective in very windy or high-frequency noise settings

🔋 Battery Life

• Extremely strong battery performance, often delivering close to the full 60 hours with ANC on; many users report rarely needing to charge for weeks 

• Some variations in battery life observed: a few users got around 45 hours, others reported quicker drops—but overall experience is overwhelmingly positive

👥 Comfort & Usability

• Many find them lightweight and comfortable for long-term wear. However, some complain about firm headband clamp and synthetic-leather earcup material becoming sweaty or less breathable over time 

• Touch controls can be sensitive—some inadvertent pauses or mis-gestures have been reported 

• Occasional complaints of software glitches or auto-pauses due to overly aggressive wear detectio
