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

"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.

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

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank darcet
there's a button on the right side that either turns on passthrough with no volume reduction (smart ambient) or turns on passthrough with major volume reduction (talk through). effectively that turns off the anc, and you can set up which it does via the app. I wish I could cycle through both options, but it only lets you toggle the one you choose on and off. the anc itself is good, but not great. need to test it while driving tomorrow, but it is mostly squashing an alexa that's right next to my bed while i ask it things to see if i can hear the response.

Carrier is Amazon Logistics. Funny how my Amazon prime doesn't deliver that fast anymore
Purely for music, it is slightly better than XM4/XM5.
