What to check before buying

• Codec support: LDAC and LHDC only help if your phone supports them. iPhones use AAC, so an iPhone user gains nothing from LDAC.
• ANC figures: the dB numbers are brand claims and are not measured the same way, so treat a 50dB vs 55dB gap as small.
• Battery claims: most brands quote battery life with ANC off. Expect roughly half with ANC on.
• Fit: stem-style and wingtip designs fit differently. Use the extra ear tips in the box before judging ANC.
