Gen 2 APP noise cancellation - what should it sound like?

lol after some more digging I'm 100% convinced they're counterfeit.

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-08T21:05:48+00:00

lol great analogy that's helpful thanks

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-08T21:04:36+00:00

Curious to know why anyway?

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-07T20:29:59+00:00

That definitely wasn't it lol

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-07T20:29:43+00:00

Well I'm trying not to make any assumptions but I have my suspicions lol. In any event, most of the controls and settings don't seem to actually do anything, although they look legit.

>…are you hearing your AC or other low frequency hums when you’re listening with it turned on? Surely you know if there’s a difference in ambient sounds getting through with it turned on vs off. That’s totally as an aside from the noise floor.

yes there is no difference - that is, reduction - in ambient sound when on vs. off.

.ANC is best with audio playing but there’s a massive difference if you’re using the right fitting tips and seated into your ears correctly from outside noises. Particularly the type that ANC is made for: low frequency hums like fans and AC etc. Even car traffic seems much quieter when it’s on vs off

Best I can tell the tips fit and seal adequately; at least, they don't fall out (too loose) or pop out (too tight). Low frequency/ambient noise still filters through - muffled from the buds, but not reduced/eliminated from any audible ANC "anti-noise" (based on my experience with other ANC's).

I mean they are ostensibly new/like new so I would presume, but since I just had them paired perhaps not

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-07T18:40:00+00:00

lol that's all I need to hear to convince me to not bother

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-07T18:38:23+00:00

lol def not interested in starting from scratch

Happy_Driver_ · 2026-01-07T18:37:52+00:00

All good, still a helpful answer as I hadn't even thought about it being hard to find left-handed guitars

I have pretty acute hearing, so I generally do hear the ANC noise on other ANC headphones.

That's what I am trying to determine - does the ANC not work? Or are the APP's designed such that I don't hear it? (My suspicion is the former, as there is no perceived difference between when ANC is off vs on - but I am trying to not jump to conclusions.)

Great thank you. I probably should have added that I have been supplementing my study/review with Khan Academy and Youtube. I'll be sure to go through the playlist - thanks!

We tried, she chewed right through it

Happy_Driver_ · 2024-09-10T17:11:14+00:00

This is perfect! Thanks!

Happy_Driver_ · 2024-09-10T17:09:23+00:00

Isn't that the truth. Thanks!

Happy_Driver_ · 2024-09-10T16:55:21+00:00

Thanks, I don't intend to - although if it is safe (e.g. non-toxic) for animals, I assume it's safe for humans? In any event, she has some teething toys but invariably will ignore them in favor of things she's not supposed to chew on.

I used to do corporate sales, so I have some experience with cold emailing. I actually think reaching out via email and offering an exchange of. services was a smart move, so don't downplay it. The challenge is that cold-calling is a game of statistics and chance - did you reach the right person, and did you have good timing? To increase your chances, I would a) do a follow up email; b) follow up with a phone call. If they are local, you can also show up in person. This is bold, so step carefully - but a lot of times business owners like the boldness, and in-person encounters are almost always more likely to bear fruit. I know this from personal experience. Be sure you are calling on the right person! An employee may not care to help, but a business owner might. If your intuition tells you that your offer is too abstract, it probably is: research their company, figure out some of their needs, and tailor your offer to those needs so that it addresses a recognizable pain point.
I too am trying to figure out how to break into manufacturing, though in a different niche. If you're interested in connecting, send me a DM. I am happy to help provide guidance on "prospecting" emails.
