Updating firmware was a bit of a hassle because it requires dongle to connect to the phone then you update through the phone app. A few tries, and update worked. My ears became sweaty, so do keep that in mind if you decide to use them in the summer warm weather.
Unfortunately, I don't have other wireless headphones to compare them to. My Noble Triumph earbuds are a bit better, but they were $350. For $230, N9 hybrid are decent, especially because I can use them with my pc + have ANC on them. Be sure to check if buying from their ebay store is covered by warranty. My initial impression is good, but I want to try it for a week before deciding.

I only thought this because my spouse bought some Bose Quiet Comfort SC which have 30% too much clamping force and made me wonder, are ALL headphones this bad? Those Bose were worn a couple times and sit unused for 5 years. The Bose are uncomfortable after 5 seconds.
These AKG N9 are better and though I didn't wear them long because they don't work, I feel I could have worn them for maybe 20 - 30 minutes before not wanting them on. Then another 30 minutes before being very uncomfortable. I would not be able to wear them for 20 minutes if I put my glasses on.
While I was trying on 15 headphones about 12 of them were pretty good and made me make the decision to buy the AKG. But I wasn't able to try on a pair of AKG. I just thought "these designs seem ok so the AKG should be fine"
One of 3 pair which stood out to me at Best Buy was the Turtlebeach 600/700 Stealth. When I put them on at Best Buy I was immediately happy with comfort, clamp and sound quality. Though I bought the AKG because I was like "oh what a deal the AKG will be better than regular priced Turtlebeach.."
As I waited 4 days for delivery I kept thinking, if there is an issue with the AKG I am going to buy the Turtlebeach 600. Run to Best Buy and try them on, let me know.

Wondering if these are worth trying before deciding between the Momentum 4s and these or just stick with M4s?
Any thoughts?
