ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
ANC is absolutely incredible!
All frequencies are crushed and you just get absolute silence. It is clearly improved across the entire spectrum but especially in the vocal range. I had no idea my wife was talking to me yesterday
They have a new dedicated ANC processor inside plus a new integrated processor for everything else

TEST 1: The common test for white noise: tied in first place with Bose QCii and AirPods Pro 2, but the other frequencies are the big win
TEST 2: crowd test - 48.6dB
Bose - 47.5dB (previously first place)
TEST 3: female voice test - 45.6dB
Bose - 40.6dB


TEST 4: Wind - in transparency mode, it sounds exactly like my actual ears in wind
In ANC mode, it is very muted but still audible until I play any music. I would say in high wind, I might need to turn my volume up by one notch but that’s it
Bose QCE2 have very marginally better low end ANC, but these crush it with the high end and have less white noise, so overall these feel quieter in most environments
