so I cant compare side by side --You cannot remove the lining to wash it. It almost never cuts out, even at high congestion zones. Theyre perfect for when working outdoors and its raining (or when its not), and comfortable too. I ordered the standard pillows a few months ago and really liked them so I just purchased the King size pillows. For reference Im usually a 7-7. I have several Anker products and have always been satisfied. I’ll have to get new ones soon and I won’t be buying this brand again for sure! I bought these as the installation was advertised as "glue" or "stick" on, since this was going on tile this was important, and thats the reason I bought this product and the items that match. There appears to be no way to set the alarm on the device itself. I’m definitely not getting good noise cancellation.
