Active noise cancellation has come a long way since Bose’s first set of headphones. But are we plateauing? What’s in the future for ANC and how much do we wa...
I mean, their battery lasts so much…I’ve never needed to charge them while using them. At some point I might click power without noticing and it will say “battery low”…and then I know after using them this time I’d need to recharge them. But even then, it’s not in a hurry, I know I can continue using them comfortably for as long as needed, just this time I need to remember to charge them.
Call quality has been improving, and this time they have ANC also for the mics, so your other party gets noise from the street cancelled…this was an issue with my XM2, talking on a noisy street is a no-go, but with these XM5, is now perfectly ok…at least to me in a bustling city full of people and traffic.
Sometimes I forget to turn them off, they’ll just be paired to my phone until they go to 0 and die (XM3, btw) so yeah, I need to be able to use them while they have no battery. That is, unless they just disconnect by themselves nowadays
So…bring with you the normal 3.5mm cable. That way even if they’re dead they can be used as a normal wired headphone. I still find that feature awesome.
