I can‘t say I hear much difference in the frequency response, but I sure as heck appreciate how they keep the AirPods in my ears.
The fit is important for each of the earpiece to activate ANC or to even turn on. It's the ir sensor at the bottom that doesn't get covered up sometimes that deactivates one of my earpieces. They need to improve it to make it more universal with the sensor. In certain cases, the one of the sensor is not sensing of it in my ear. Which really sucks at times. Flawed design IMO.

Completely agree. Plus, with the silicon tips I was constantly adjusting the fit trying to keep them in my ear. With each adjustment the sound quality changed and I could easily tell when the ANC was on or off because the AirPods were almost completely out of my ear. The Dekoni tips help with both issues. The older AirPod design does seem better, but I like the inclusion of ANC.

I saw 0dB review of how foam enhances noise reduction.

The amazing thing about the ANC chip on the APPs is that it's not the passive seal from the foam that improves the ANC. It's actually the algorithm being able to counter higher frequency noise. Bose and Sony simply don't go that high. Their silicon runs out of gas as the period gets shorter. Apple has the best and most power efficient chips - can't wait to see what they do with over ears which will have a much bigger battery.

I've tried them and after A vs Bing with background noise on my 7.1.4 setup I've confirmed they dramatically improve ANC in the range we need it a lot - 1k-4k.

I believe it. They do design processors, and can miniaturize amazing technology. I was quite surprised at the ANC performance they outputted at such a small housing space, because they never put out ANC product in the past. So, how did they figure it out without experience? Bose has been doing it for years. Given their track record, you know they can do stuff that pushes technology boundaries. FaceID, quality touch sensing, and seemless experiences of products.

I tried others Bose QC20, Sony WFXM3, Sennheiser Momentum 2 TW, and they all can't compare.

I can't wait for Apple's full sized one.


Any articles or videos on APP ANC technology and how they developed it?

I've been looking for that but haven't found any. With the foam tips they're significantly better at isolating than the Etymotic ER4XR with none of the comfort issues or risking a nasty ear drum injury. And in a single press they can go to a very natural transparent mode. Crazy.

I did find a good article on the Bose 700's engineering though. The transparency mode on that is pretty amazing too: https://gearpatrol.com/2020/04/17/bose-noise-cancelling-headphones-700-interview/

Just ordered large pair from my local reseller. I am very curious if they fix my fit problems with Airpods Pro (left earpiece keep falling out/losing seal with stock tips).

Will be happy to report my impressions in a few days :L3000:

EDIT: So a new pair of Dekoni foam tips arrived. Comfort is much better. There is no more falling out or losing seal. ANC (and also passive isolation) seems to be a little bit improved. Overall a great product!

Funny thing is that Apple's seal test fails every time when using foam tips, but really who cares when it sounds good...
