What it is like to use
ANC creates a pressure sensation some people find nauseating. Worth trying before committing at this price. Deals with constant noise far better than sudden noise.
How to choose
These are the same headphone in three colors. There is nothing to weigh up beyond which one you would rather look at, so pick a color and stop.
