Onyx Rune: convenience is a long way from noise-cancelling - still sounds like more marketing hype to me
Bergamir: they really can't be considered proper noise-cancelling if they use a phone's mic instead of actual sensors?
Irisa: sound quality is just the start for wireless headphones – durability is a real concern
Silent Corvid: finally some decent cans that don't pretend to be noise-cancelling and just get it right with open-back design
Kian: They can't quite nail noise cancellation but sound quality is decent I guess
Ariagrant: i'm still waiting for noise cancellation that doesn't break the bank
Miafischer: these cans actually look kinda nice, surprised engadget didn't rip into the price yet
Obsidian Cipher: finally someone made an open-back headphone that doesn't look like a sci-fi prop
Onyx Corvid: these cans look more stylish than i expected still curious how ath managed sound signature
Miakaur: those ATH-AL5NCs look like a big step up from their wired counterparts
Liam: don't get me wrong, but aren't those cans a bit pricey for the feature set?
Aidenkaur: can noise cancelling even work on something as inherently loud as a can of beer?
