To those who are saying they are overpriced, perhaps so, but now that I've owned them for a couple of weeks I can honestly say that they are really good vs my Sony XM3's if you are in the Apple ecosystem.
Likes:
- The transparency mode has been a game changer and I now use these over the AirPods Pro for just about all my work phone calls.
- Best noise canceling. I think that some of this is passive because the cups cut out a lot of noise on their own. The overall effect is stunning.
- The seamless device switching also works well if, like me, you have all Apple everywhere.
- Sound quality is so good. I'm no audiophile, but I know bad from good. They are very balanced over a wide range of music types with pleasing bass and crisp highs.
- Spatial audio. Yes it's a gimmick, but I really like it!
Gripes:
- Dumb case instead of a power switch. It's so very dumb. Really dumb. I hate that thing.
- Shorter battery life than the Sony's which sucks because I use them a lot more. I just put them on charge each night.
- Can be tiring over longer periods of wear. These bad boys are heavy and clamp on tight.
