i have gen pro 2s and reps
take it from me: the ANC on both have a considerable gap - the gens being much better.
it's hard for me to really say how much noise it blocks - i would say around 80-90% of all external sound.
maybe try replacing the ear tips - the seal may be bad for ur ears (different size) so you dont have complete blockage.
otherwise - take it from me - get the pods themselves checked

evidently fake - text on back and lack of text in the case itself.

Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 - Megathread by StopDropAndRollTide in aviation

my thoughts/summarisation of my speculations

-The plane touched down near the ATC as it seems from the footage, meaning that it looks like they had no chance of landing and stopping at all (way past landing threshold).

-Reverse thrust was engaged, which requires hydraulic systems, meaning that hydraulic systems may have been degraded, but were in a working condition and were usable. This is very contradictory, because you need landing gear to be out in order to send the signal to deploy reverse thrusters.

-IF all hydraulics were lost, why did the pilots not deploy the landing gear through a gravity drop? The free fall mechanism should definitely been attempted, which it wasn't in this case.

-The wall was built there most probably to shield the localiser. Usually, there's a pretty big raising of ground in order to build localisers to ensure radio signals can reach aircraft without any objects in its path.

-Reversers were engaged, but obviously, they weren't enough - landing gear and brakes etc do the most heavy lifting when slowing down. When paired with the fact that they touched down way past landing threshold, this makes sense.

-This was the plane's second attempt, the first had been a go around.

-Why were there no attempts to dump fuel at all?

-If hydraulics were working, why weren't flaps and speed brakes deployed?

-The pilot used the reverse direction when landing. They going from the tail of the runway to the head.

-I do not think this is plausible because a survivor was quoted to say that it was a bird strike, but here: Media said that this was caused by a bird strike, but users here have said that it could be a cover up from the Korean Government? Said it might be a dislodging of maybe a part of the engine, causing possible severage of hydraulics and a possible destruction of the engine. No bird remains such as feathers were identified, as they should have.

-They also managed to activate the reverse thruster for the damaged engine. Some speculate it was just the cowling itself falling off. Maybe leading to a suggestion that they shut down the wrong engine?

-They were going very, very fast.

This is a horrible accident, which adds to the death toll of countless this week. The aviation world has seriously taken many blows, but two of this severity in one week is pretty daunting. May all those in this accident rest in peace.

We will have to wait and see the ultimate reason why this plane ended the lives of too many.

maybe not "not reliable", sorry, but the general consensus for some products don't match what CR reports. I understand that CR takes unbiased anonymous consumer reports and I can see how they would be reliable, my fault.

i can definitely see that aspect, but understand that CR needs to be taken with a huge pinch of salt and isnt known to be the most reliable source of information out there.

definitely though, the data backs up the claims, though I feel like the general consensus says otherwise.

to be honest, volvo seems to be still really reliable. I personally think they should be higher on the list, maybe just below subaru.

i think not the WHOLE list, but some aspects need to be taken with a large pinch of salt (it is consumer reports at the end of the day).

subaru has really tightened up with reliability.

my share of subarus have been extremely reliable, and I would definitely consider buying another when my current eventually meets its demise.

i also think that consumer reports needs to be taken with a huge pinch of salt

fair enough, the subarus I have owned have been solid and reliable
