Pricey? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely, IF you're deep into the Apple ecosystem and you'll be using these with Apple products, at least an iPhone. (More products = more features.) If not, don't waste your money.
Also, note that these don't come with an aux cable. That's extra, but it's what's needed to get you near audiophile sound.
And no, they *technically* don't do lossless, but unless you have superhuman hearing, you won't be able to tell the difference anymore than you could with, say, a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3's.
I'd say they're totally worth it at this price if you're looking for a good user experience. If you're just looking for SOUND and nothing else (we'll, other than wireless capabilities), get the Bang & Olufsen H9's ($350 now) or the MW65's (at Costco for $270 now).
TL;DR - for Apple users, these are great. Get them and don't look back. For non-Apple users, don't waste your money. But most people honestly would be well-enough served by finding a pair of good TWSs or wireless headphones for about $200.
Had a pair and returned them.
Boat anchors on your head with painful clamp force
Sound is fine - good even - but not $549 good and really not $449 good either.
The Apple markup here is similar to the original MSRP on the HomePod (also way too much and we saw how that went...took years to sell the inventory and discontinued)
I have owned a wide range of headphones all the way up to Hifiman Susvaras.

Why do people waste energy coming into threads to complain about the price and say Apple is junk?
This is a good price for those who want these headphones.

Some folks obviously got duped into these at $549+ tax and now aren't enjoying the feeling of "value" - lmfao
