I have the Live buds and I have to admit, they sound great. Never noticed any differende with the ANC on or off though.

Here they say the ANC is only good against low frequencies, not good against middle range like voices
So this is what I would choose to wear outside since they do let in some background sounds so you don't get run over by a car or something
They at least can't filter out the constant hum of the airco at work which is right over my head. Ah well, they were not to expensive and for phone calls they are great and they are comfortable to wear.
Thanks for letting me know, that narrows it down
I found the WF-1000XM3 have a bit of a noisy ANC. It's certainly great, but instead of the outside noise I have to listen to the constant hissing from the microphones. Kind of ruins being the best ANC out of the bunch
I'll be testing the Link Buds S next, they are not on ifixit, but I've found some teardowns that show that they are easy to repair
