SeekerSennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset
Decent for mixed usage. The Sennheiser AMBEO Smart headset is a versatile option for most use cases thanks to their decent isolation and sound performance. These headphones are compact with a stable ear hook design and they do not require a battery. Unfortunately, they do not block as much noise as some of the other noise canceling in-ears we've tested so they will not be the ideal choice for commuting. Their sound quality is decent but they are not the most durable headphones. They're also limited to iOS since they have a lightning connector and do not come with an adapter.
