Buyer notes
What should shape your shortlist.
- Sony's adaptive ANC is the best in this segment for blocking metro and transport noise.
- A secure fit is as important as ANC — poor seal reduces both isolation and bass.
- Wind noise handling matters for outdoor commuters — both models manage it well.
