But when there is large ambient noise the mic does not pick up my voice well

Ultimate comfort, excellent sound quality, the sound they produce overlays rather than obscures any ambient noises whether in an office or on the road

Best thing is being able to hear ambient noise around me at the same time enjoy music & podcasts

There is slightly audio leakage at max volumes, but not really going to be an issue (unless maybe you're in a library).- Volume isn't always loud enough, e.g. if there's loud ambient noise nearby
