Eh. I went for TWSes for my latest purchase because I wanted anti-wind ANC. I still have a wired pair (and one of those silly USB adapters) for long-term operation, though.
How are you liking the ANC? I feel like it's a cool concept that can work well but that my noise isolation from a tight fitting pair of plugs works nearly as well without the complexity or extra battery requirements
Modern ANC is impressive.
When I'm on my bike I actually have less wind noise with my earbuds in than with my bare ears, which was a pretty odd feeling at first.
I also have a pair of over-ears, Sony XM5s, which have even better ANC. Used those while vacuuming and didn't hear the motor of the vacuum cleaner. I heard its wheels, though. Freaky.
Of course all of this is tied to the usual Bluetooth headphone drawbacks so YMMV.
ANC is so fucking cool. When I upgraded my earbuds to ANC and first put them in, I thought the fans in my room turned off. Then my partner said something and I had no idea what they said. I got them to delete an annoying coworker from my life when I had to go into the office and they did the trick nicely.
