In addition to upgraded ANC, you can also use Ambient Mode if you want to remain aware of your surroundings. The buds offer 360 audio for all of your music, streaming, and more, and it also has voice detection to automatically lower your music when you're talking so you can hear during conversations.
ZDNET expert Jason Cipriani reviewed the earbuds during their launch earlier this year and enjoyed not just the comfort level, but also the active noise cancelation. Using the pair throughout two cross-country flights, he said, "the ANC is strong enough to block out my very loud mechanical keyboard and office air conditioner when it's running, and made a huge difference when walking through an airport and during the flight."
