It is noty a Bose. But it also costs much less. ANC does cut down quite a bit of low frequency noise, although I found out that I need to have the right size of ear bud covers to make it work best. This should not be a problem with the various sizes of covers that come in the box. Pairing is good. Charging is convenient in the case.nI wear it during my work out only, and it is comfortable during that time (less than an hour).
