My 2 cents.

I have these. They are my set after trying so many. Got them at like 80 or 90 and for that I felt lucky. But headphones seem like such a subjective personal thing.

- the sound quality is what I like mainly. Rich, hear the more subtle instrumentation. These imho beat lower and medium tier stuff out of the water. And are high tier. Whether they are the high tier sound for you, I dont know.
- using on a Samsung and they have Samsung Scaleable Codec for bluetooth which imho helps the sound quality. Also UHQ codec avail too on my S23plus.
- heavier than ideal but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- earcups round instead of earshaped which can be kind of annoying but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- can't turn off ANC but because the sound quality is towards my subjective ideal I don't mind
- ANC is alright. Nothing amazing but good.
- doesn't super blast volume which I like as I am 50 and blasted way too much heavy metal through the decades. My phone literally warning beeped repeatedly when I had a few and was blasting heavy metal for too long on these. But it was great and I usually hate that stuff but it really kept me from too much volume too long.
- had Momentum 4 which I did very much like, but saved lots of dough selling those and getting these.
- these fold inward unlike Momentum 4
- might get another pair of these at this price just for backup

reaaaaaally wanted to buy this but reviews are telling me you can't turn the ANC off, it's just always on (and mediocre) and that kills it for me. Great if you don't care about that, so gets a thumbs up anyway!

"There's not even the facility to adjust the Y600NC active noise-cancelling - it's on, all the time, and there's nothing you can do about it."
https://www.t3.com/reviews/akg-y600nc-review

"The always-on active noise-cancelling falls into the 'good-not-great' category, too. Outside noise is diminished but not, strictly speaking, cancelled, and because there's no way to adjust it, let alone turn it off, it's a 'one size fits all' solution. And generally 'one size fits all' doesn't really fit anyone all that well."

was there a software update maybe? can't watch the youtube video at work.

Edit: no tax in ohio via HA's website (+2.5% SD cashback) with free 2 day shipping and free returns...giving these a whirl to see if they're any good.

Have you tried the Samsung buds pro or the buds pro 2. They sound phenomenal!
Don't tell that to me. I own and love Samsung earbuds. Tell it to the guy who thinks Samsung shouldn't make these.

That's just silly.

Regardless of how you feel about a product, competition and choices are ALWAYS a good thing. That is unless you want to pay double for the products you do like.
And it's evolution. If they do get into more they are a company that succeeds. If they advance the tech like they usually do it's benificial to all. Not just people even other companies that compete too. I kind of like my technology advancing.

Can you use the headphone connected with 3.5 mm jack when the battery is out? I see a 3.5 mm cable is included but not all Bluetooth headphones work with 3.5mm jack when the battery is out that I know.

How do these compare to the sennheiser momentum 4? Got a new pair of those coming for $170, wondering if it's worth the extra price

This can be compared with Sony xm3 and bose qc35. Both of these headphones can beat this one. it's basically a headphones that everything will be 1 tier below other brand. Not bad, not good, it's ok.

Would you say the sound quality is better than the bose qc35?
Not to my ears but I'm no audiophile. I'm going to wear these in situations where noise cancelling isn't important (e.g. around the house). For flights, I'll still use my Boss QC 35. They still work great but they're beat up (e.g. leather band is peeling and not easily replaced).

the momentum 4 was pretty good, i got an open box for $200 but returned them a few weeks later

i wasn't blown away by the anc, the sound quality was really good , but not great

$170 is a good price for them though

I purchased these headphones last week for $80 -- excellent build and sound quality. I also really like the physical controls for volume, play/pause/skip, ANC, etc. However, ANC is definitely weaker than my QC 35s. Regarding price, I called Harman Audio and the were able to price match and refund me $20.
I purchased Soundcore Q35 just a few days ago. I will be using them mainly for music listening and a bit of gaming on ps5. Don't really care about ANC. Which are a better headphones in your opinion? thanks!

Edit: just realized you were talking about boss qc 35. My bad. 😅
