The Technics EAH-AZ100 have excellent full-range noise isolation. While their ear tips don't do much to block out noise passively, their ANC system mitigates noise across the audible spectrum, with a slight falloff in effectiveness in the low-bass region. That said, this is normal for most ANC systems. Overall, ambient chatter, chunky footsteps, and fan noise will be adequately attenuated by the Technics with ANC enabled.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants The Samsung HW-Q990F is also known as the HW-Q990F/ZC and HW-Q990F/ZA, and while we expect these models to perform similarly, some features may be regionally available. It comes in ‘Black’ (also called ‘Titan Black,’ depending on your country), which is more of a deep grey or soft black than the pure black of the last generation. You can see the label of our unit.

Despite the brand name of CMF, the earbuds use their parent company's Nothing X app, which works with Android and iOS. Its functionality is goodโin use, it's very similar to the Nothing Ear (a) with EQ presets and a three-band EQ, while lacking the more comprehensive graphic EQ with Q-factor supported on the Nothing Ear. If you want even more bass, you can choose Ultra Bass to augment any of the EQ presets. Take a look at the tour of the app.

The Audio-Technica ADX3000 have a great build quality, so long as they're used for their intended purpose of indoor listening. They're made from durable-feeling materials like aluminum, plastic, velvet, and cloth, and their thick cable seems like it will resist fraying. The plastic hinges do seem a little fragile, but they're smooth and quiet with a good range of motion.

Compared To Other Soundbars The Vizio Elevate SE soundbar is a more affordable entry within Vizio's Elevate lineup. It's cheaper than both the Vizio M Series Elevate M512E-K6 and the top-of-the-line Vizio Elevate. All three soundbars feature height channels that rotate to face the ceiling (they 'elevate') upon detecting compatible content such as Dolby Atmos.

The soundbar offers a decent selection of sound enhancements to tailor the performance to your needs. There's 'AI Sonic,' which is the brand's room correction tool, and, interestingly, you can create three different settings for it if you have different seating arrangements in your space. While there's no graphic equalizer, you can choose between several EQ presets: 'Music,' 'Movie,' 'Voice,' 'Sports,' 'Standard,' and 'Game.' You can tune these further with the bass and treble adjustments.

The Google Pixel Buds app is great. The app includes a five-band graphic EQ and EQ presets, allowing you to tailor the earbuds' sound to your preferences. You can use 'Conversation Detection' to automatically switch the earbuds to 'Transparency' mode when you speak or manually change the ANC mode in the app. 'Spatial Audio' is also accessible through the app for increased immersion, though full functionality, including head tracking, requires a Pixel 6 or newer and compatible content.
