My two issues with the previous version (had two of them).

The noise cancellation was intentionally downgraded at a certain point. Because one pair worked until it also got an update.

Second issue is both stopped working. No idea why and both shortly after AppleCare ran out.

They are very expensive and it’s just not worth the risk.

Noise cancellation was made worse due to patent troll lawsuits.
