Then again, while I could hear a shift in the ambient noise around me - which sounds like the earbuds putting a tiny amount of white noise in the audio - I can still hear the clicking of a mouse that’s a good 15 feet away in ANC mode

These are great in an environment with a lot ambient noise like fans or blowers, trains, or (most especially) airplanes

The noise cancelling cuts enough ambient noise to improve the quality of the

ANC, simply put it increases the volume a bit (which is needed see 4) but does nothing to reduce ambient noise at all, I use them on a train and the ACN is worthless 0 stars may as well not be present

if not turned on you get an amplified ambient noise so really no option but to have ANC

I don't think they cancelled out that much, but it was unclear if they meant 97% of sound 28 decibels or under, or 97% of ambient noise

These headphones also have something called "Monitor Mode," which basically dims the music, and plays the ambient noise into your ears (basically the opposite of the noise cancellation feature)

I did some air travel last week, I kept on pushing the ANC button just to see if they were really working as

The company never reimburse me for the shipping as they promised to

I'd take off 2 stars for this alone but t seems like a common problem that many sub-$100 ANC earbuds.- ANC creates a slight static or hushing noise
