These headphones are absolutely spectacular for their sound quality and their many other features. The headphones have a plastic exterior, but it feels quite nice in the hands and feels very sturdy and solid. No creaking. It's hard to describe, but it feels like an excellent plastic. It also has a nice cool feel to it and putting the pads around my ears is enjoyable. The padding is extremely soft foam and cool to the touch so I'm not overheating. For my daily usage, I don't even use the Active Noise Cancellation, the regular noise isolation afforded by the high quality ear pads surrounding my ears is more than good enough to cut pretty much all noise around me -- and when I play music I can't hear anything at all. I did rate the active noise cancellation a 4 instead of a 5 because I know Sony and Bose have better ANC abilities. However, I didn't really purchase these wireless headphones for their ANC properties (which are amazing, just not the best on the market).
They were purchased for their sound. And the sound quality is amazing, that's all there is to say. It's not bass heavy, or overly cheery. It feels neutral and "studio-like". Bass is warm and deep, yet it doesn't overpower any songs and can be enjoyed for hours. Same with the highs, very noticeable and crisp, but not piercing. The mids have a nice "open" sound to them that creates pleasant sound imaging and space.
One thing that I noticed was the speed at which the headphones are able to resolve. What I mean is, I played songs and began hearing individual note strikes on high hat/cymbals where I thought it was just one continuous sound when listening on lower quality devices. These headphones actually made the individual strikes audible instead of just a wall of noise.
A great feature that I enjoy is the ability to listen while plugged in. I do video editing work and appreciate the lower latency and (even) better quality afforded by a cable hookup. I can connect with either AUX or USB-C to listen with a wired connection for even higher quality.
I have not yet used the APP to personalize my sound as I want to fully appreciate the out-of-the-box sound before I change anything.
The touch features on the side are very easy to memorize and use. It's honestly amazing to use the touch features while walking around the city and does not feel gimmicky at all. I may have preferred analogue buttons for at-home use, but when walking around the city I much prefer the touch swipes instead of analogue.
And while the light ring system is pretty and interesting, I don't get too much use out of it. Though it is a nice little quality of life improvement, so it doesn't detract from my experience at all. I do like how it signifies the left and right headphone when picking them up. However, mostly, the lights are just pretty.
Overall, the headphones are excellent and I would 100% recommend them to someone who wants a wireless headphone that does not compromise on audio quality (and in fact delivers audio quality significantly better than its rivals), while also featuring great active noise cancellation. You are not making any compromises with these and owning them is just a good decision.
