[00:00:03] Speaker 1: And do you have any questions before we start?

[00:00:16] Speaker 2: Not at the moment, I just really wanted to understand the focus to be able to answer correctly.

[00:00:25] Speaker 1: Can you send the questions? Ok, I understand that you currently have headphones with noise cancellation. For us to start, can you tell me how you ended up buying these headphones?

[00:00:37] Speaker 2: I bought them online after reading some reviews. I wanted something to help in the home office block the noise of my children and neighbors. I didn't want something too expensive, but that worked well. Do you want to know more details?

[00:00:49] Speaker 1: I would like to know if it was a gift you received or if you bought it yourself, if it was a specific occasion, birthday, holiday.

[00:00:58] Speaker 2: I bought it myself, without a special occasion. It was more of a necessity, because working at home with children nearby is not easy. I think it was a very practical decision.

[00:01:12] Speaker 1: I understand. And I would like to know if this was a replacement for another headphone or was it another reason?

[00:01:18] Speaker 2: It was a replacement, I lost the previous one I had. I don't know how it happened, it just disappeared. So I needed to buy another one to keep using it.

[00:01:30] Speaker 1: I don't like to be without it. I understand. And the headphones you had before, were they also with noise cancellation? Or was it the first time you bought headphones with noise cancellation? The first one also had noise cancellation. I had already tried without it, but it didn't work for me.

[00:01:44] Speaker 2: This resource is essential to be able to focus on my work, especially with the house full of noise. www.microsoft.com www.facebook.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com
