The quiet alternative to Sony and Bose, with roughly double their battery life. Less hyped, less visible, and the owners who buy them rarely appear in complaint threads.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 85% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.4 out of 10 two years in. The battery advantage is the thing owners keep mentioning.
Nothing much happens, which is the point — the battery life stops being a specification and becomes the reason the charger stays in a drawer.
Hinges and headband padding show wear over years. App features have developed slowly. Ear pads eventually need replacing.
The battery advantage is the thing owners keep mentioning. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.4 out of 10 in the first week and 8.4 two years later.
Worth it for: People who hate charging things; Listeners who care more about sound than noise cancelling; Anyone travelling without easy power. Think twice if: You want the absolute best noise cancelling; The design matters to you; You want the biggest resale value.
