What owners single out
Both buyers and video reviewers highlight weak noise cancellation as a significant limitation of the Between 3ANC.
In their words
“Ive used these things nearly every day sense I've got them. Not only is the audio quality astonishing but they are also surprisingly durable I'll give you a few examples from 3 different lines of work Treework- I use them as hearing protection both in the lift and running the wood chipper, I've had them fall from my head at 60 feet in the air, dusted them off and kept going!”

“Starting off, the sound quality is better than other leading earbuds, the 3 speaker system is genuinely an improvement over the normal 1 speaker. The noise cancelling is effective and the battery life is fine... but that's where the positives end. These earbuds are probably one of the most frustrating devices I regularly use.”
