The noise on the BART recalls chalk going through a chainsaw, mixed with bass-ala-white-earpods and cells phone clearly lacking a ????, my lovely Jabra c820s are a frickin godsend. Yes I rock the katakana. What up now.
What’s particularly interesting isn’t what they cut out, but what they don’t.
Low frequencies are blocked well, as are repetitive sounds. What isn’t blocked, unforunately, are particularly loud, higher pitched sounds. Like the asshole next to you with the really loud iPod, or the insane horse addict talking on her speaker phone at the other end of the train.
But, given the earsplitting screech that is the norm, it’s a hell of a lot better.
