I am disappointed in the Apple Airpods. As a consumer, I assume that Apple is at the front of the pack when it comes to hardware and software in their chosen products. They are so selective about what they release and charge a premium, so I usually buy without thinking. I assumed that background noise on calls was not a solved problem, and that Airpods were the best solution on the market. Boy was I wrong. The Meta Raybans have incredible background noise cancelling that is significantly better than what Airpods offer. It is so much better that it makes me mad as a consumer. The only problem with the Raybans is that you can't wear them at night, at the gym, etc. Next time I need new headphones I won't be blindly reaching for Airpods again. They've lost my trust.

> I assumed that background noise on calls was not a solved problem, and that Airpods were the best solution on the market. most ppl on this thread talk about active noise cancelation as in ANC (not arriving to your ears, now integrated to new airpods not pro), but you are referring to background noise (noise not arriving to your recipient sound system) If you are talking about the ladder, let me say, you are not alone. I wear Jabra telemarketer with a mic on my mouth for calls where ambient is noisy and i want to be safe on my side
