Does it work with two devices at once?

Is the sound adjustable?

What people mention

Battery lifePraisedReviewers report getting close to the rated 50 hours, so charging is infrequent.
Noise isolationCriticisedThe closed cups block some sound, but without ANC traffic and engine noise come through.
Fit and comfortMixedSome find the clamp tight and ears warm after a couple of hours; others wear them all day without issue.
Build and sizeMixedOwners like the solid feel but note the headphones are bulky and the cups do not fold flat.
Calls and micMixedThe beamforming mic is clearer than the first generation, though callers still notice background noise.
