my Sennheiser momentum tw just dies, in the market for some new true wireless buds. requirements:
decent anc
at least 6hr battery life
under $250
I’m prioritizing audio quality here. most likely going to go with Sony wf-1000xm4 unless someone recommends something better.
It’s not just about cancelling noise. ANC systems let you reverse the noise cancelling and let you hear the world around you. When bicycling with earbuds, I like to enable full transparency at busy intersections to ensure I’m aware of my surroundings. Or when mowing the lawn, I activate “Aware” mode which mostly Noise-cancelling, but still lets me hear when if there’s a problem (with the motor, or my partner calling for me, etc).
yea I mostly use transparency mode if I’m listening to music and someone wants to talk to me for a second
