ANC or transparency mode?

For a noisy commute, ANC can reduce continuous ambient sounds. Transparency mode is useful when you need to hear your surroundings, such as on a street or at a station. The two features are complementary.

Battery life and commuting

Longer battery life reduces charging frequency, but ANC, calls and volume can affect real-world runtime. Check each model’s figures before choosing.

Methodology

The Commute score combines only available characteristics: ANC, transparency, battery life and weight. It is a specification indicator, not a real-world comfort or isolation test.
