I received my APM this morning in the mail and, like a giddy child on Christmas, ripped them open (beautiful packaging Apple, btw). Was purchased for me as a present, so my expectations may differ than someone who spent their own money on them.
First impressions: they are smaller than what online pictures show you, and much lighter than what many people have made them out to be. I was expecting severe neck strain within the first hour of listening but you hardly notice them. Granted, I'm not "testing" them but wearing them as I normally would at my home office - splitting time between resting my head on my headrest and sitting upright. But I can see that those with weaker neck muscles would feel the strain?
I have the APP's and the noise cancellation definitely sounds better because they're completely over the ear. I had Beats Studio3's (hated them) and they're definitely much better than them.
I'm not an audiophile but they sound great to me, especially with transparency on.
Overall, really loving my APM's. I was worried because the amount of negativity was so off putting. But now that I have them, I love them. I miss having over the ear headphones and I've been craving something better since my Studio3's.
I also purchased the silicone covers for them. Should I not use them and just go naked? Would love your opinions. Still looking into a case as I will go traveling in 2 months since I got my second vaccine shot.
