    I was worried about the weight because I saw a bunch of reviews complaining about it but it was not heavy at all. I suffer from migraines so noise cancelling headphones are a must at all time. I traveled to Europe with these, came in handy a ton. The noise cancelling feature was a lifesaver. This feature was very similar to another headset I owed but it was way less expensive. I was even able to use it on the plane by buying an airfly adapter. I was also able to carry it around by wrapping around my purse’s strap and then using the case to secure it. It made it very easy for me to carry around. I love how it automatically connects to my phone once I put them on. I didnt get to try the headset while working remotely which is the ultimate test. The color was also right up my alley, named them Barbie lol

    Best headphones I've ever owned

    I also have the SONY XM4 but after reading all the good review of these I decided to bite the bullet and give these a try. $600 is not a small amount to swallow for a pair of headphones. I'm not an audiophile, but definitely someone who appreciates good sounding music. After receiving these, I immediately compared them with the XM4 back and forth with the same songs from Apple Music. Here is what I found: (1) the sound: the AirPods Max definitely sound better, but not by a whole lot. They have slightly better instrument separation. The highs are more crisp (I thought the XM4 was already very good in this regard but the AirPods Max are just even better). XM4's bass is a bit deeper but the AirPods Max's is still good and I'd say even a bit less muddy than the SONY's. I guess each to their own. Overall, every time I put on the AirPods Max for the same song, the song alway sounds just a slightly clearer and more pleasant for my taste. (2) the comfort: Sony wins this one hands down. Although I didn't feel much about the extra weight, there's definitely that clamping feeling on my head with the AirPods Max. Every time when I switched back to the XM4, my head immediately felt relieved. However, I also found that I was able to get used to the AirPods Max and wore them for hours without issues. (3) the Transparency mode: Apple definitely wins this one, and, to my surprise, this has become the main reason I'm keeping these. The Max's transparency mode is just so much better than the XM4's. I found myself sounding a lot more natural and even have a bit heightened sense of hearing with the Max's transparency mode on. The Sony's sounds just too robotic to me. I also like the simplicity of activating this feature by just a push of a button on the Max. (4) the Hand-off feature: I have an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac Mini. The airpods just switch between them effortlessly. However, I also have these connected to my work Windows 10 PC. The auto handoff feature will stop working if they’re still connected to the PC. Just keep this in mind. (5) Build quality. Apple wins this one for sure. Overall, I’d say that the sound of these is about $50-100 better than the XM4's. Considering the added features, much better build quality and the leather carrying case (which I hate btw), I was actually surprised that the $550 asking price actually seems to be reasonable to me now since the SONY’s MSRP is $350. Sure, it sucks these headphones don’t have an on-off button and won’t turn themselves off until you put them in the ugly case. But, on the other hand, they easily last about 3 days of use in my case. I think if I can charge my phone every day then I can certainly charge these once every 3 days. To be honest, I was going to return them after first wearing them and feeling the clamping effect on the first day. But after a couple of more days of extensive use, I’ve decided to keep them around because I think they're worth it.

    Great music quality. Sturdy build, premium material and build quality feel(the look and feel certainly feels good enough for the heavy price, unlike the xm5) A tad heavy for long use(you start feeling the weight after using it for an hour or so). They should do better on that weird sleeve cover.

    Love the sound quality of these headphones. I was beyond impressed on the sound. They’re comfortable too wear for a long period of time and do not hurt your heads because the area where the ears go is spacious but also holds it in place.

    GOAT Audio Headset in terms of technology

    These ANC headphones are expensive, but they back it up with excellent sound quality (coming from B&Os H4s and H9i) and these cans beat both from B&Os in terms of clarity, sound stage and bass. This is a must have if you're particular about audio and part of the Apple ecosystem. I still recommend traditional wired cans if you're a professional audio/sound mixer.

    Sound quality is excellent. Crisp and clean audio not heavy on bass, they spatial audio while watching movies and shows is magnificent. Build quality is awesome very high end materials. Charging is quick and battery life is very good. Case should be better but there are several affordable 3rd party cases available.

    THESE have changed my life, my daughter, and I have a technique for her to call or message me when I am jamming around the house cleaning because I cannot hear her coming when the background noises feature is on and has made me scream a few times trying to get my attention lol. Now she calls or text me when she needs me so I can avoid getting frightened by her sneaking up on me. I’ve used them on the plane as well and they are truly noise canceling. If you get these also come up with your plan tonight, get frightened by anyone else in your house lol by them you deserve them and won’t regret them if you can’t afford to pay all at once for them, look into using Klarna.

    Currently wearing these on a train where it gets loud between tunnels. For it to become muted and be able to hear every detail of a song has to be an experience where you realize you don’t have to go back.

    Best Cans I've ever had...

    Excellent cans--I have heard words in songs that I could never distinguish before with my Sony cans. They are perhaps a bit heavier than the Sony cans and I think my head gets a bit hotter; but the sheer pleasure of hearing many sounds that I previously could not far outweighs any and all of the other slight annoyances.
