And some do it better than others.

Sony, generally, their headphones do a good job.

but they don't match the earbuds generally.

Yeah, yeah, I can see that because it's trying to figure out when I'm talking, it makes it more difficult for it to figure out what to pay attention to.

And so, you know, my frequency range is going to match or be close to a lot of the noise that's happening around me.

So it just has trouble deciding what to let in.

Interesting.

I was not aware of that.

I think that they are good, generally.

I tend to not be a huge fan of their sound tuning.

They sometimes are a little bit more what we call audiophile tuning, which can sometimes push the high end a little too much because most audiophiles are older and have lost their hearing.

So it's not something that I generally gravitate towards.

They don't sound bad by any means.

It's just not for my taste in general.

I think it's a little bit of both.

I think it's incredibly difficult to cancel out noise that is unpredictable.

It takes time.

A whole lot of processing power.

Also, the person that has purchased the earbuds is not hearing that.

They're not the ones that are experiencing it every day.
