    Excellent noise cancellation. I am someone that uses hearing aids so was trying to find something able to accommodate without having to just crank up the volume. These headphones achieve that by adding a lot of customization within the app. I’m also able to use them for work calls and switch between my laptop and personal device seamlessly through the dual Bluetooth connection.
