I have these. They are my set after trying so many. Got them at like 80 or 90 and for that I felt lucky. But headphones seem like such a subjective personal thing.
- the sound quality is what I like mainly. Rich, hear the more subtle instrumentation. These imho beat lower and medium tier stuff out of the water. And are high tier. Whether they are the high tier sound for you, I dont know.
- using on a Samsung and they have Samsung Scaleable Codec for bluetooth which imho helps the sound quality. Also UHQ codec avail too on my S23plus.
- heavier than ideal but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- earcups round instead of earshaped which can be kind of annoying but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- can't turn off ANC but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- ANC is alright. Nothing amazing but good.
- doesn't super blast volume which I like as I am 50 and blasted way too much heavy metal through the decades. My phone literally warning beeped repeatedly when I had a few and was blasting heavy metal for too long on these. But it was great and I usually hate that stuff but it really kept me from too much volume too long.
- had Momentum 4 which I did very much like, but saved lots of dough selling those and getting these.
- these fold inward unlike Momentum 4
- might get another pair of these at this price just for backup

"The always-on active noise-cancelling falls into the 'good-not-great' category, too. Outside noise is diminished but not, strictly speaking, cancelled, and because there's no way to adjust it, let alone turn it off, it's a 'one size fits all' solution. And generally 'one size fits all' doesn't really fit anyone all that well."

was there a software update maybe? can't watch the youtube video at work.
Edit: no tax in ohio via HA's website (+2.5% SD cashback) with free 2 day shipping and free returns...giving these a whirl to see if they're any good.

Here is my comparison and recommendation
##design and accesibility
* Anc design is far better then soundcore.
* I really liked the dial kind of control to adjust volume
* Anc Power button is a kind of slider which makes it very easy.
* Anc has a button to enable noise cancellation which is also very right positioned. In soundcore you will have to press one button 3 times to switch between normal, transparent and noise cancellation. I found anc much easier over here.
Overall anc wins this easily.
## Build
* Anc look kuch sturdy and build is better then soundcore.
## look and asthetic
* Anc looks better
## sound quality
* Anc has better base and lows as compared to soundcore.
## Comfort
* Soundcore is far far comfortable then anc in comfortable wearing. You cannot wear anc for more then 20mins. They are very heavy as compared to soundcore. Quality of cushion on earbuds and headband is far superior in soundcore as compared to anc.
* I felt diameter of sound core earbuds is bigger and is in oval shaped( even boseand Sony has oval shaped dia) as compared to anc(circular).
##Software
I think soundcore software is better then anc. It gives you control and helps u create your profile through which you can define equalizer.
##Noice cancellation
Soundcore noise cancellation is better then anc
## Batterylife
Soundcore gives ~50hrs whereas anc is ~30hrs.
### Overall
For me comfort is a deal breaker and thus I will recommend spending money on soundcore even though it's twice as compared to anc. You won't be able to use anc for more then 20mins or so which defeats the purpose of headphones in my opinion.

Serious note, check out rtings.com or YouTube for reviews and/or to answer your question(s)
how does the sound compare to the pixel buds a? Asking about vocal clarity and volume of output specifically.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank nevergoodenough
- plastic pieces breaking off without reason
- foam cushions flaking off
- ear piece detaching from band
- hinge breaking
- low max volume
-.No eq presents on app (and no software updates)
-- I have no idea if this reflects the (long term) ownership experiencing but I'm just noting what some reviews expressed..Possibly useful for people that are considering impulse buying these (without actually needing them).
