    Not much of a redesign but having more improved active noise cancellation is great

    They have to find ways to get more money from customers 😂 “You want a wireless charger? Give us $20.”

    I’ve got two generations, I can’t adjust the volume on either one to save my life.

    They say the same thing every generation. Better noise cancelling and better battery life. Scam

      I mean yeah what do you want them to say? Every company says this however Apple lowered the price instead raising them like the competition.

    I’d like to know if the hearing aid functionality has improved or is it even in these now, the website has no mention of it. My mother uses them to address moderate hearing loss and they work fantastic so if these are an improvement over them i want them.
