Since I’m bothered with far too much internal noise ( or is it voices…) in my head, I try to reduce the amount of noise coming through my ears, at least when I ride or out in public or with the in-laws.
Started out with the foambuds, then found the silicone was better and more comfy.
A few years back I tried the Bose QC20, and I found them far better than the silicone, and I got less tired when riding, downside was the occasional «pop» sound when the outside noiselevel was higher than the QC could handle.
I got used to the popping, and would not have replaced them if they did not die on me.
Read about the Sony wf-c700n in a audio/hifi magazine, best in test, most bang for buck etc….found them «on sale» $90.
Noise reduction compared to the QC20 is better, perhaps 20%, and NO popping.
Comfort or discomfort, just like the QC or the silicone buds.
I have Shubert flip-up helmet with the internal speakers removed, so there’s very little pressure on the buds/ears from the helmet.
Battery is supposed to last 7,5 hours with both music and noise cancelling on. Longest ride so far is 7 hours, and the battery was ok. They will charge rather quick in the box, when you have a break, there’s supposed to be 7,5 hours of energy in the box, so a total of perhaps 15 hours a day. Enough for me, but perhaps not for @Uncle Phil ?
There is a button on each bud, which is/ can be assigned to music on/off, volume, ambient sound, receiving calls, all by tapping on the appropiate bud…….you can’t do that with a helmet on…..so open the app and set the button funcions to »not assigned» both left and right.
The buds a very lightweight at 4,8 grams each.
Careful when removing helmet, as the buds falls very easily out of ears….and out of sight…pffft. Mine are black like the asphalt….buy some other colour.
Cleaning your ears (and buds) will make the buds sit much better. Put them in and then turn them counterclockwise a bit.
It comes with three different sizes of silicone tips.
Sound quality is very very good, and you can adjust it in the app.
You can connect them to two bluetooth devices simultaneously, I’ve not tried.
Now you know what I know!

Case with 7,5 hours worth of charging
