Thoughts on ANC TWS? My wife is working from home now due to the Covid and I can't concentrate on my work because she has to have the radio on in the background playing 80's music. I was considering getting the Boltune ANC TWS or the Dyplay ANC. I know Edifier (and highly rated by Scarbir) are out there also, but much more costly. Can anyone comment on if they think any of the TWS with ANC will help block out the 80's music I'm being tortured with each day? Thank you.
Note: I have the Fill T1x and they help isolate, but will any of the ANC TWS do better?
I currently have the Dyplay BQC35, Airsun X8, and two Sony WF XM3. I also have the WH XM3 headphone.
They all works well to block low freq rumble, but for reducing higher noise and chatter, background music, etc, it will depend more on the passive isolation. If you also would play music on them to help mask the background noise, the Vshaped sound of BQC35 would let people voice to pass more, while the X8's more neutral tuning would block mids and highs outside noise better. For low freq rumble, the BQC35 would work better than the X8.
The Sony WF XM3 is overall better in ANC performance and SQ across the board compared to the other two, but also much pricier..
But, the WH XM3 headphone is just a better performer for ANC compared to all previous TWSs. But i prefer the WF XM3 's sound the best, and the mic sound of the three TWSs are better than the WH XM3.
So in daily situations when my wife and son both having video conference for their online work and school classes, the order i rate the ANC to block voice chatter is
BQC35 < X8 < WF XM3 < WH XM3
Maybe another solution to your problem is asking your wife to also use earphones? Might or may not work for you, because my wife and son don't like it and sure prefer to use the speakers for conference, so i'm stuck with using ANC instead
