Because I have Bose anc, which imo, is one of the best, these dont compare. They charged fast and lasted a long time. Was skeptical at first with its waterproof ability so I place a tarp inside the carrier and also put my sleeping bags/tents in plastic bags. Buying headphones is difficult whether we want one good pair or whether we collect them. It is extremely responsive and has a button that allows you to quickly toggle between two preset sensitivity settings, which is useful both in games and for applications such as Photoshop where you might want to reduce your mouse sensitivity for some tasks. its super functional and convenient. I recycle all my pods. I had so much hope for these slippers. I have been wearing Havaianas for more than 40 years. The microphone works great too, whenever I am using these to talk to someone on the phone they can hear me clearly and dont even seem to notice Im on a headset and not just speaking directly into the phone.
