Hello, I got the new model after reading everywhere that the noise cancellation is great. Tried it and I really can't say I'm impressed so far. Voices are a bit muffled and thinner, but I can't say it's a massive upgrade from from my WF-5 and since I by far prefer earbuds I'm probably going to send them back as 450€ is a lot of money to still be unsatisfied with working in an open space. Am I missing some kind of secret setting to make them better? I've seen some advanced option in the app but they all seemed pretty much like useless gimmicks. EDIT: People keep commenting on the sound quality but my post is 100% about the noise cancellation. I'd happily deal with the crappiest sound as long as I'm able to work in peace.

I just read that JBL is rolling out a firmware update for the Tour One M3 that fundamentally alters its 'sound curve' to make the audio clearer and more balanced. They're claiming this will make them 'truer to the artist' and help them close the gap with rivals like Sony and Bowers & Wilkins. While I appreciate a brand supporting their hardware post-purchase, I'm skeptical about how much a DSP tweak can actually do if the driver hardware is the limiting factor. Has anyone updated their Tour One M3s yet? Does it actually feel like a 'new benchmark' or is this just marketing speak for a slight EQ shift?

I recently purchased the H2O Audio Tri Run workout headphones and have been using them for my runs and workouts. The main reason I chose these was for the secure fit and waterproof features. They have held up well so far, but I'm curious about how they compare to other popular brands like AfterShokz and Jaybird. Have any of you tried these out or even compared them to others? What are your thoughts?
