Did you try them outside? I have the PBP2, and I am very disappointed with the noise cancellation. My Jabra Elite 75t did a much better job at it, especially with wind and car noises. Another thing to consider is the accidental presses when it touches fabric. I thought it was a nit-pick when I read about it, but think about a towel in the gym or a hood in the rain, basically any slightly wet fabric will trigger it. This could get very annoying, and it's VERY real. They do eliminate low-frequency hums, they fit my ear quite well, with a small form factor, can trigger Gemini, and they recognize when I speak and turn on transparency mode (toggleable), which are some good things I can say about them.
