Die Indy Anc sind ok Probleme sind sie sind sehr groß aber ich finde das nicht schlimm da sie sehr bequem sind jedoch sehen sie dadurch nicht sehr gut aus. Hinzu kommt dass sie wenn sie im Ohr sind blinken das lässt sie sehr billig wirken die Ton Qualität ist aber gut der Bass haut einen um sie sind aber auch sehr klar was die oberen Bereiche angeht. Das ANC ist gut aber nicht sehr gut Mann hört höhere Tone sehr deutlich stimmen und andere höhere Tone sind klar zu hören jedoch Motor-Geräusche sind quasi verschwunden.
