It is important to know

Before buying, consider whether you will be using the headset mostly at your desk or will be carrying it around frequently. It is also important to note that the number of microphones alone does not determine how your voice will sound to the other person during a call.

• The over-the-ear design is more geared towards desk use than compact portability.
• Noise cancellation describes listening on your end; the available data cannot be used to determine how well the microphone reduces ambient noise for the other party.

In practice

💻 Long hours of work at the computer

🟢 Very comfortable - the over-ear design is suitable for desk use and extended listening; actual comfort depends on your fit, however.

🏢 Working in a noisier office

🟡 Suitable with limitations - noise cancellation can help reduce the sounds you hear yourself, but the quality of the voice captured by the microphone is not determined by the data provided.

✈️ Travel

🟡 Suitable with limitations - noise cancellation is useful in noisy environments, but the over-ear design takes up more space when carrying.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Does the noise cancellation information also tell you how well the other person will hear me?

No. Noise cancellation refers to the sounds you hear yourself; the available data cannot be used to estimate how well the microphone picks up your voice or background sounds.

Is the stated maximum operation guaranteed even with noise cancellation on?

The data does not indicate the conditions under which the maximum autonomy was measured, so it cannot be confirmed that it also applies with noise cancellation turned on.

Can the headphones connect to a computer and a phone at the same time?

Support for simultaneous connection to multiple devices is not listed in the available data.
