As a AirPods Max 2 alternative
Twice the battery with noise cancelling on and 100 g lighter, for a little over a third of the price. Soundcore publishes less than the others do - no Bluetooth version, no driver size, nothing about a cable in the box - so a good part of this one is unproven rather than proven equal.
