   First off, out of the box these are the most extraordinary headphones I’ve over owned. The deep rumbling bass, clear mid and high range and the noise cancelling! Wow, it’s almost disorienting it’s so good!.

   I was surprised with the audio quality and I absolutely love the design aesthetic. The use of aluminum parts makes this feel like a premium product. On the bad side, the case is ridiculous and makes them fairly bulky for plane trips. These definitely won’t be replacing my Bose QC ii, though if they made them more travel friendly they might have. The sound, as I said before, is great but as someone who wears glasses the weight causes some discomfort after about an hour. At this price point, I just cannot understand who these are made for exactly. They aren’t for full on audiophiles, do not travel well, and they are uncomfortable at times.

   Lets start from what everyone wants to know first.

   Pros:
   1. Holy mother goose, the sound quality is like nothing i have ever heard, it’s Fantastic, Surround sound with everything it connects to
   2. The build quality is far superior to every headset i have ever used. I have had BOSE, JaBra, Sony, and this headset blows them away. IT is all metal save the ear cups and head band thingy. The headset is made out of a single carved out air craft aluminum .
   3. COMFORTABLE , i wore these for 7 hours straight and never had any issues of being too tight, and despite what other reviewers have said, they dont feel heavy on my head at all. Nor does it heat up around your ears.
   3. Battery life. I have not charged them yet and after 20 hours I still dont have to charge them, they are at 30%
   4. The controls are perfect. Rather than mess with the touch type , the volume is a small well placed knob on the right that adjust the sound volume and pause and other functions i still haven’t explored.
   5. Noise Cancellation, OMG, you wouldn’t believe the sound quality of noise cancellation, I went to the flight line at the army base near me, (yes I’m a vet) and was by one of the blackhawks talking to my friend. They started up the Blackhawk, and i called someone and they couldn’t hear it at all. You can hear you own voice like normal rather than the muffled sound you usually get with Bluetooth and noice cancelation, A ++++++
   6. Connection. Everyone of my apple devices automatically paired with out me even prompting. It was completely seamless. I can with between my Mac Mini, IPhone 11, and iPad with no problems. In fact i can connect to any device and go a lot further than that standard 30 ft. I have a quarter acre and i can go anywhere around my house and not lose the signal

   CONS: Oh boy here we go

   1. The case is stupid, when i say stupid it looks like your carrying a purse around, IT DOES NOT protect the headset. There are cases on amazon made for the IPod Max, that will put it to sleep when you put them in.
   There is no way to turn them off at all. When you leave them out they go into low power mode after 15 minutes. Or you can put them in the case it came with and they go to sleep.
   2; No brick, for $550 you would think they would include a charging brick but all they give you is a Lighting cable that does NOT have a standard usb connection on one end.

   The cons are few and mostly just trivial things and certainly not a deal breaker. These headphones are so amazing its worth every penny and would last you.a lifetime.
   I see reviews complaining about the weight. Really? These things are NOT that heavy, In fact every expensive head phones ive used make your ears sweat, they flake, and always feels tight.
   YOu dont even notice these headphones after awhile.
   I realize they are expensive but you get what you pay for. And in this case you are getting probably the best headphones you could ever imagine that will not fall apart, feel uncomfortable and give you an amazing sound quality in all areas.
   No , I’m not paid for this, no, i am not biased about Apple these simply blow away all the other super expensive headphones

   Amazing Comfort & Sound Quality

   When you take these headphones out of the box you immediately notice the weight. Seeing as they are made of mostly metal, besides the replaceable ear cups and headband, this is not too surprising. The metal gives these headphones a very premium feel. The removable ear cups are very soft and comfortable and also easily replaceable (connected via magnets).

   The comfort of these headphones rivals most of the other headphones that I own or have owned. I have been comparing these to my Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10s and my Sennheiser PXC 550-IIs. The pioneer headphones are made for long listening sessions and DJ sets and the new Apple headphones tend to be more comfortable than those. When I initially got them I had them on for over 5 hours without any discomfort. Also, a common problem with some over ear headphones is that your ear my start to get hot or sweat over time. That has not been a problem with these headphones. The ear cups are not made out of a non-breathable leather which I am assuming is the reason why my ears do not heat up or sweat over time. The mesh at the top of the headband aids in the comfort. The other thing that makes these comfortable is the various adjustment points. From the telescoping arms to the ball point hinges, you can get an almost perfect fit for your head shape.

   Now let’s talk about the sound quality. I will fist start off by stating that the noise cancelation, compared to the PXC 550-II is significantly better. It does not completely cancel out all noise however, it does a better job. I think. this is due to the metal design and the mass amount of microphones that they have located in various location on the headphones. When you use the transparency mode these microphones really shine! When this mode is active, and no music is playing, I can clearly hear myself as if I did not have the headphones on at all! Very impressive hardware and software magic from Apple. When actually playing music, in my opinion, the quality rivals a large selection of over ear headphones expect the high end audiophile range. The lows are not muddy and the mids and highs come through very crisp. The clarity is most likely due to the fact that the headphone boasts a 40mm driver which is large enough to reproduce a wide range of frequencies at high volumes without distortion or clipping.

   I am a big fan of the tactile buttons and Digital Crown that they have on the headphones for control. This control interface is simple and easy to learn and use daily. The noise cancelation button allows you to cycle between the various noise cancelation modes and in the software you can choose which of the three modes it cycles between (see image). Te Digital Crown is exactly like what you will find on the Apple Watch, only bigger. Scrolling on the watch allows for volume control, and clicking allows for play/pause.

   Using these headphones with Apple devices is pretty much as expected, seamless. I will say that you will need to ensure that you devices are updated to the latest operating system in order to fully enjoy all of the features.

   Battery life so far is very good! The smart case helps maintain battery life when not in use. From regular use I can go about three days before I need to charge them again. Now that is not travel days. If you travel a lot you may have to charge them more often. Everyones use case is different.

   Let me talk about the things that I don’t like about these headphones. FYI these may be just personal gripes and might not bother you nor do they take away from the function of the headphones. The first issue that I have is that Apple is still trying to hold onto the lighting charging port. I really wish the would have put a USB C charging port on these headphones bringing them into the rapidly forming universal charging world that is here. The second gripe I have is with the case. If you look at the images I provided you can see how there are gaps in the case. This bothers me slightly because if I were to put these in my backpack on my daily commute there is a chance that something could slip in and scratch the ear cups. Now, I will see if this happens over time but it was not something that I had to deal with with my PXC 550-II because the case for those was completely covering of the headphones.

   I will add to this review overtime as use these headphones more…

   Negatives first
   – heavy
   – case is an embarrassment
   – no off button, battery drains overnight if not in the ugly piece of garbage
   – no hi-res support, boo
   – really need to be an Apple user
   – price too high

   Positives
   – sound best in class by a mile
   – build best in class by a mile
   – controls best in class by a mile
   – noise cancellation 10/10
   – transparency mode best in class by a mile
   – the way it works with Apple devices gives it such an advantage over Sony and Bose, etc.
