Great review, however in the section called "boom mic" you used to boom mic for ten seconds, and talked without it for a minute. This was useful for me since most reviews just use the mic, and it's good to hear the quality without it, since it's very likely gonna be the case for casual conversations. but I think a lot of people want to hear the main attraction.
@@AskDaveTaylor the caller on the other end trying to hear me. Background noise is overpowering 'my' voice. I own several high priced earbuds - Bose QC2 & QC1's, Sony XM4's, Airpod Pro 1's, Airpod Pro 2's, and the all seem to suffer the same problem. Some better than others, but none exceptional. When you hear these reviews and the reviewer is 'out on the busy street' on a call - and the background noise is muted, I'm not sure what setting they are using, but it hasn't been my experience with the background noise being muted.
Lots of modern devices have cVc or similar noise cancellation for mics, but it's a tough challenge and really works best when you talk louder to compensate. When I want to test environmental noise reduction, I have a recording of a loud coffee shop I play.
@@AskDaveTaylor My best guess is - you must choose music or phone calls to be the prime 'use case', and the best-in-class earbuds for music and soundstage probably are not the best for taking calls. Just a guess. There are so many considerations when choosing the right earbud - connectivity, being able to connect to two devices at the same time, music reproduction, soundstage, etc. [ Some are better at doing one thing really well, but maybe not as good at another ]. ** we have to pick what's important

A good point. Always tweaking and adjusting to get the best and most informative review. Thx.
Good job done sir
need to hear a call with background noise added; that's where all seem to fall down.
In terms of your being able to hear the caller? Or the caller being able to hear you when you talk?
