don't worry i'll be as critical as possiblePrice is still too high for some fukking headphones...
These aren't even compatible with the lossless Apple Music service last I heard. They aren't worth even $400 in the face of that.$400 is a right price to me since the Sonys were $350 when they first came out

Anyone buying these over the Bose headphones is an idiot

All right here’s my review
Comfort 9. I’ve heard they were heavy before but so far I don’t feel any weight on my head. Plus they envelop your ears like an earmuff. one thing is that if you wear them after a long time.(I had them on my head for 3 hours) they start to sweat.
Features 10. They have all the features of the AirPods Pro but the sound is better. This is like a movie theater on your head. The spatial audio is still
The biggest sell is the transparency mode which works well but i need to test it out more. The noise cancelling works well and scares me it’s like i go in a vacuum when I’m in it. You can't hear shyt when it's in that mode.
Sound. The sound is of course better than the AirPods Pro and normal AirPods. Compared to Bose it beats it imo but i have an old Bluetooth pair so that’s what I’m using to compare it with. I also compared it with my old sol republic headphones and the AirPods sound miles better which is what i was hoping for.
all in all these are an 8/10 took down two points for the ugly case which i'm not using at all and what i said below
Now let’s get to the question are these worth 550? Hell no not even worth $450
The true price is probably $375
What i need apple to do is make a cheaper version because right now i don’t feel comfortable going to the gym with these. These are definitely airport, travel, lounge type headphones
I might return them but only because i think they’ll make the rumored sports version which is what i want more
