In a world of big noise canceling headphones that don’t fold and feel pretty heavy on my head, I’m happy that this pair solves both of those issues. The headphones are light, fold down to a bit more manageable size, and still have really good noise cancellation.
I’ve had Sony XM-5’s before but I had to return them because they were squishing my head and it hurt to wear them for more than one hour. I’ve been using these for 2 to 3 hours at a time and they feel fine.
The one thing that may be a turn off for a lot of people is that they don’t pause or turn off when you take them off your head. You have to manually pause your content and make sure you press the power button to turn off the headphones (otherwise your battery will drain). That’s annoying but not enough to make me look for other headphones.
These are cheaper than other headphones with similar features and more portable too.
The sound is definitely great for me, but I don’t think I know enough to say I want more bass or treble in my headphones. I’ve had AirPods gen 1 and these sound a bit better with the added bonus of noise cancellation.
All in all, a pretty good pair for $200. I will say that I got the travel case for free with these, and I do think it should always be free because the pouch that comes with this is just terrible.
