December 2019 • Macworld 55The Micro-USB port
has been replaced
by Lightning. It’s not
USB-C, but it’s a step up
them out without blowing out my eardrums.
There’s probably no reason for most headphones
to get as loud as they do, but I wouldn’t mind a
little more oomph here.
The headphones picked up on my “Hey Siri”
commands just fine, though I found I had to
speak up if I was on a busy city street. Call quality
is excellent with the noise cancelling doing an
excellent job of drowning out the world so you
can focus on the caller. The people on the other
end of my call said I sounded great, though, of
course, noise cancelling doesn’t work for them,
so they would often hear a lot more background
noise than I would.
