I have these headphones and they are spectacular, especially at this price.
The anc works really well on planes and even with my lawnmower.

Curious what the real world call quality is on these. Can any owners chime in with their experience?

Almost thought these were the 85t. Waiting for those to go lower.

How do these compare to the Bose QC35ii/700 and Sony XM3/XM4?

I have these. The noise cancelling cannot be manually adjusted and relies on AI, which means it only cancels noise that it decides needs to be cancelled. If you're in your school library and people aren't constantly talking but every once in a while people talk, it won't block them out.

Excellent for deeper frequency repetitive noises like engines and fans though.

These are overhyped horrible headphones. Poor ANC,frequency response consistency, heavy

Rtings measurements don't lie.

On the other hand, Jabra's mono bluetooth headsets are good and I recommend the Jabra Talk 2, Jabra Mini or Jabra Talk 25

Sound quality in headphones is not everything.

These headphones are spectacular for calls and basically the best on the market.. superior to AirPods and AirPod pro, and everyone else. As one would expect since it's Jabra. This is confirmed on multiple independent reviews, and there is even a YouTube video that shows it first hand.

As someone who basically exclusively uses headsets for calls, I went through FIVE headsets before finding out about Jabra. I am never buying a non Jabra headset again.

I've been using these for a year and they're excellent all-around headphones; Comfortable, good sound, excellent battery life. ANC is not the strongest out there, but good enough to make a difference (and I personally am susceptible to "eardrum suck" so I prefer lighter ANC anyways).

It's Wirecutter's overall recommended pick for Bluetooth headphones:

I paid $250 last year and thought it was great value; $200 is even better. I don't think you'll find better bang-for-your-buck in terms of quality and featureset.

These were 199 for like 3 weeks straight a month ago. I tried them but couldn’t keep them. The ANC is fine, no issues there. The padding is kind of hard and not that comfortable. I don’t like the fabric material they use on the outside for the buttons, just attracts dust and dirt. The multi-point connection sucks, if you read online they aren’t supposed to be able to connect to laptops because they are only for “mobile devices” like tablets and smartphones. So if you’re planning on using this with a laptop, don’t buy. Also, they cannot be used with the audio cable if they run out of battery in passive mode, once they’re dead they’re dead. Lastly, you have to swivel the ear cup to turn them on which is annoying to me, I just want an ON button. But if this is your max budget and want some ANC over ears, it’ll probably suit your needs. I ended up getting the XM4s on warehouse deals for $278 which was worth the extra money by far.

From what I can read and watch, these would be poor for commutes since their low frequency ANC is virtually non-existent.

On the other hand, their mics are good, they sound decent, and their mid to upper end ANC is decent, so probably great for working from home or what not.

Why would they do that for laptops ? Just seems weird to not be able to connect to laptops lol
And the 'AI' ANC just doesn't work like you want it from what I have read. I guess XM4 is the only option left unless I want to splurge for Bose7000

I had these for about 2 weeks before returning them. The big pro’s are the excellent battery life (best in class as far as i know) and mic quality. Multi device pairing worked well for me to, connected to my phone and my work from home computer. The fact that they auto pair and turn on when you open them is a nice touch. Build quality is overall good but not as sleek as the main competition (Sony / 700). Audio quality overall seemed good to my untrained ears.

They are a bit bulky and the fabric outer may be a turn off for some as it attracts dust. But it’s kind of nice if because you don’t need to be a careful when you take them off worrying about scratches if you just toss them on a table something. I also found my ears get quite hot/sweaty after about a half hour wearing. The fact that you can’t use them wired without turning them on is a bit annoying as well.

Ultimately the reason I didn’t keep them was because I felt I was getting light headed/dizzy with them on. Not sure if it was the anc, the fit, the weight etc. I recently got the Bose 700 and haven’t had this issue. The Bose overall to me feels the superior product, but there are some trade offs that make the jabra a decent option.

It’ll connect but the connection is spotty and doesn’t always work well. When you read support forums jabra says you have to use some Bluetooth dongle with laptops for a reliable connection

This does NOT connect to your computer's Bluetooth at all. Wish I knew that since they advertise 'Multiconnect' ... but they mean uy can connect to two PHONES at the same time

Beyond stupid for me since my WFH setup involves me listening to my PC + phone's audio... never will I ever need to connect to two Phones at the same time. Smfh
