In this part of the video, the presenter conducts an earcup test to demonstrate the sound and noise-canceling features of headphones.

The presenter first shows the room’s ambient sound, then tests the headphones with noise cancellation on and off, and while playing music. They note the absence of a case for the headphones, which makes portability an issue. The headphones don’t fold, adding to travel difficulties. Additionally, the presenter mentions the headphones are not supported by the Sony headphones app, limiting the ability to control settings like EQ and noise cancellation.
