And the rest. I’ve got close to 50 with them. The battery life is crazy good.Also dont the H95s last like 30+ hours ?

Literally the first two words of the third heading on the Apple.com page for this product are “Spatial” and, wait for it... “Pie”. Wait no sorry my bad. “Audio”. The second word is “audio”.If these provided spatial audio or some kind of surround sound with an Apple TV 4K, maybeeee they’d be worth the price. But to just listen to stereo audio with an Apple TV it’s over kill.
But that's just it, these aren't audiophile headphones, they are just apple's bluetooth headphones.I don’t get the outrage.
$500 for headphones is nothing to an audiphile.
Audiophiles spend thousands. This price range would barely be considered mid-range. Something like Beyerdynamic DT 1990 would be around this price.
Serious question for audiophiles converting to Digital means though, if you come to find out Apple Music in the next few months will be offering HiFi (like Tidal does) does this change anything for you?
These are utterly useless for recording engineers.
Define audiophile though - its highly subjective.But that's just it, these aren't audiophile headphones, they are just apple's bluetooth headphones.
or it shows there is obviously a problem of value for that price....Where’s the button to hide all the “too expensive, won’t buy it” posts? Do you people turn up to auctions for homes you think are too expensive, never bid, but tell every person who’ll listen that it’s too expensive and you won’t buy it?
Ok yeah they’re more than you thought they’d be. But 44 pages of “nope too expensive” is ridiculous. Enough is enough.
They don't mention any USB audio support anywhere, so don't count on it. The only known wired input is through the cable as you mention.I’m hazarding a guess, as I haven’t bothered to delve too deep into them.... yet.
But I believe they will work wired using Lightning to USB-C, or via the bi-directional Lightning to 3.5mm aux adapter cable.
Hey now, don't kinkshame!Do you people turn up to auctions for homes you think are too expensive, never bid, but tell every person who’ll listen that it’s too expensive and you won’t buy it?
Would you recommend them ? I need a good pair of cans for both wireless and wired use. I love the B&O aesthetic as well.And the rest. I’ve got close to 50 with them. The battery life is crazy good.
They are bluetooth only.Define audiophile though - its highly subjective.
I’d strongly suspect given the time these have taken to develop and the caliber of the audio specialists they’ve assembled at Apple, that these will in fact be rather good. Make no mistake, Apple are taking entering the audio market seriously, and have demonstrated this with the HomePod range which focuses solely on audio quality.
The reality is these are not really intended to complete with the mass market XM4 or Bose 700’s, and I’d certainly expect something a little more impressive than the Sony’s or Bose’s mass market sound tuning too.
They don't mention any USB audio support anywhere, so don't count on it. The only known wired input is through the cable as you mention.
How do you place value on something when you have no reference for how it performs the task it’s designed for?or it shows there is obviously a problem of value for that price....
I buy them for myself, and let them use it in the car.
they’re 3 and 6, they don’t get their own electronics.
If you don't need ANC, Drop Panda is the best option and they are $399. My money says the Apple will not sound better than the Panda. If looking at open back, the Hifiman Deva at $299 is a wonderful sounding headphone with a very impressive BT implementation that let's you listen wired or wireless.Would you recommend them ? I need a good pair of cans for both wireless and wired use. I love the B&O aesthetic as well.
