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

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.
Can you tell me if these have the Samsung SSC Bluetooth codec capability?

They make reliable drives. I would not trust this brand with anything else. Their appliances may be the lowest quality products in any category where they participate.

And laptops, tablets, panels, hard drives, semiconductors, ships, smart watches, and in S Korea schools, banks, libraries, skyscrapers... They literally make 245 billion dollars a year in revenue. More than Microsoft, GM, Ford, or Honda. They make the world's largest container ship.

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.

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).
I have QC35. the sound quality isn't the bet for music, but it's most comfortable headphone.
I tried this AKG last round and ended up returning it. it was not comfortable.

I tried Sony XM4, Bose 700, ... others, but I will stick with airpod and Bose for wireless headphone.

for music on desktop, I use HD600

Unsure about SSC

While I'd love some xm4 or qc35s, for $60 as long as I get decent ANC with good sound quality I'd be happy. I feel like comparing it to those other products which are way more pricey isn't a great comparison...unless the consensus is that the extra money is well worth it. Am I missing anything?
