I think it works mostly fine, some issues with the charging percentages as well, but they sound more balanced in both ears now. Prior my left pod would have less volume to the right.
I really enjoy adaptive mode, I basically just use that. It blocks out all the loud distracting noises for me, like on the bus or while walking, but doesn’t disconnect me from the world of happy birds tweeting etc. I also feel less nauseated while having a slightly higher breath when in motion.
Don’t really know about speech detection, as it is easier for myself, and more respectful to the speaking partner to just take one or both out.
