"Better specs"

The fact that you say that says enough about you and your knowledge of these products which is zero.

I have these, the Bose QC35s, and two sets of air pods. I work on the phone all day. So each set has different advantages and differences. We are in the apple ecosystem for work so the main advantage of these is connecting to the computer and phone and the handoffs. I don't actually even use these for movies or music, just work and calls. The batter life on these is phenomenal.

I have tried special audio, it seems great. These probably out perform the Bose in music and moves by a lot. But I'm not an audiophile or anything like that. I mainly use these for work. If I had more time to test and use these I'd feel I could comment on that better. I have had mine since launch, and paid full price. They have been worth the cost to me for what I use them for. I use them 5 days a week 5-10 hours a day for work depending on the day - I get my moneys worth.

The weakness of the product is the case, and how they sleep. It's really dumb.

The noise cancellation works reasonably well but I think the Bose is probably better. The Bose are also adjustable in noise canceling levels where they'd have only 3 modes.

One other area the Bose wins is the cancellation of background audio from the microphone. Like in a coffee shop they can cancel the background notices better when on a call.

I do not find the weight to be an issue, even after hours on the phone. I think in some ways it's a benefit, they stay in place perfectly. The wider headband vs the Bose set I have is more comfortable for me.

I'm actually considering getting another set for the audio sharing feature for plane rides with my wife. Which works really well when sharing these with my normal in ear air pods pro.

I do prefer the Bose in two major areas I already touched on. First is the the case, how the fold, and putting them in a bag. Second is the cup material on the nose is very comfortable and more durable. I understand you can buy replacement cups for these but they do get dirty, easy.

Last note. I have the silver. I would not recommend the lighter colors. The headband and ear cups gets dirty and is hard to clean. Another reason I want another set. I want the black to use daily as the silver gets dirty even from just handling them.

$32.18 Fl. tax

Need to try these, but will hold off for no tax mil' exchanges.

Anyone have these and the Sony WH-1000XM4 to compare?


Thanks

I tried these out at the Apple Store and was genuinely impressed with the sound and build quality. This is a nice price but they're still on the pricey side.

I'd grab a set if I could afford it right now.

Came here just to TD this pathetic item. Looks ugly, highly uncomfortable and heavy, not at all easy to carry. It's wiser to get Sony or Bose with better specs and roughly half the price. I know I am going to get TDs from the Apple army but don't get fooled by Apple logo and shop wisely. Happy Thanksgiving!

Some people want a slightly better-than-AirPods Pro experience and are willing to pay for it. That's the main reason somebody would pay for these over the Sony or Bose equivalents.

I'm personally in the ecosystem through HomeKit so I'll be paying for these.

Then In a way, Apple is choosing for people that are too deep into the ecosystem. Rather sad.

I tried both Sony WH1000XM4 and AirPods Max for two weeks. I can definitely vouch for better audio quality even at higher volumes on max, the sound on max doesn't change much with or without noise cancellation on. XM4's are muddy and lose some details at higher volumes, their bass is very heavy though(depends on your ears, I like little base with more detailed sound). For $429, they are absolutely worth it, with or without apple eco system. Also they are heavy but don't get warm after few hours compared to XM4's. If you just want to have decent pair of headphones XM4's are also great choice. If you want little more detailed sound (hands down incredible sound and call quality for a normal music listener) these are worth it.
Battery won't drain as fast even without the case. Call quality is much better and more natural voice compared to XM4's, XM4 calls are little echoed (lack of a better term here).I do not travel much, so can't speak for a regular travel experience. I returned my XM4's after two weeks trying different scenarios. If you're using Apple TV, these will definitely take your listening experience to next level with spacial audio.

I hate apple for that stupid case and not adding lightning to 3.5mm cable. For the headphones which cost almost as much as a laptop, they should automatically include these accessories.

It's $180 extra compared to XM4's but it may be worth it if you plan to use these for years(aluminum body definitely improves those odds).

This guy did a good longterm review on these
