Frequently asked questions

Do I need active noise cancellation?+

ANC is worth it for commuting and open offices — it cuts engine and background hum. For home or gym use it matters less. See the Noise-cancel spec.

Wireless or wired?+

Bluetooth models are the most convenient; wired and hi-fi options still lead on pure sound quality for critical listening.
