    Great! I am an Apple fanatic, so I will say that my review isn't completely objective. This is not a sponsored review. I spent my own money on these. I will be honest, I had so much hesitation prior to purchasing these headphones based on some of the reviews. The biggest concerns were all the reviews that mentioned connectivity issues and the condensation issues. I can honestly say, after using these for a solid month, that I have not experienced any of these issues whatsoever. They connect automatically once on my head, and when I am using multiple apple devices, they will switch automatically based on whatever device is playing audio (except my MacBook Pro, but I do not mind manually connecting them. I literally takes two clicks...). The audio quality is probably the best of any headphones that I have ever owned. My favorite features are the immersive seal and the noise cancellation. The design of the headphones allows for your ears to be completely enveloped in sound, and when that seal is combined with noise cancellation, it is like the world around you disappears. I love them. They are pricey, but I have ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS purchasing them. I saved up for them, and they are, in my opinion, worth every. single. penny. I did purchase Applecare+ for an additional 60 dollars. That's a no-brainer, seeing as how expensive these things are. I also bought a thin silicon covering to protect from scratches. All in all, if you have the money, and you love apple products, and you like that premium apple feel, BUY THESE! Totally worth it.

    First I want to say that the audio quality is good. It's great. It's not mind-blowing like many youtuber hype it to be, but you will be happy with it. Apple make product that will satisfy 80-90% of the customer and it is the case here. At least in the sound quality department. I would say I like this APM better than my $400 set up (schitt stack + Sennheiser HD6xx) because the sound profile here is fun to listen to. For listening purpose, you should go for a pair with a "fun" profile like this instead of the boring flat curve stuffs. The bass is great: it is tight, it is deep, and it is well-separated from the rest, like using a pair of speaker with a separate subwoofer. That said the XM-4 vs this one is very close and can ultimately be tied to preference in tuning. This one is "safer": the treble is not as bright so it will work for more types of songs. I prefer the APM by a tiny little amount in the Sound department That being said, this is a first gen Apple product: there are some flaws with it that is not highlighted by youtube reviewers. The practicality of this pair is poor. It is good for listening at home, not actually very good to use on a long flight. Here's why: 1: It's bulky and it doesn't fold. The carrying case is useless. It's gonna take so much space in your carry on. The Sony XM-4 beat it hands down here. Most people would be happier carrying the XM-4 on a plane than this. 2. It is uncomfortable for me after: 30 mins. It hurts my head. At first i thought it was the clamping force being too strong. So I screeched it out like some people on the internet did. It got more comfortable for the first 30 mins, then it still hurt. Turns out the cushion do not have the appropriate density, so after 30mins it collapse to nothing and the metal ring of the ear cup pressed on my head and that metal ring is very hard and edgy. Another negative for the APM making it not the ideal choice for carrying to an airplane. 3. Noise cancelling: at this point it is no longer relevant since this pair is only good for listening at home. Bose, Sony, APM will all do fine when you use at home in term of noise cancelling. You would not care. So to sum it up: it is a joy to listen to, but can't be enjoyed for too long. Even without the price difference, the XM4 is a strong competitor for it on the basis of practicality and comfortability alone. This APM can auto-eq while for the XM4 you may want to make use of the EQ functionality and they would be very close (like Coke vs Pepsi). This APM would be a no brainer if the price drop by $100 and they address the comfortability issue. The bulky and carrying issue can be lived with but the comfortability is a hard sell to many people.

    Love the style and ease of connection with all apple products but the battery life is not great and the lightning port is outdated. Bass is not as strong as other headphones but I got them for their great noise canceling so I can study in crowded places and focus. Alone they dont cancel noise entirely but no headphones do that so I wore wax ear plugs and then had these on top with noise canceling turned on and it was perfect!

    I love my AirPod maxes’ and use them almost daily, especially during the school year. When I’m wearing them I can turn on noise cancellation to study and really focus. It helps me lock in and feel like I’m in my own little world and I get so much work done. I also like that I can’t have it on non-noise canceling and transparency in case anyone is trying to talk to me or if I’m just walking around campus, I’m still aware of my surroundings.

    Amazing sound, premium feel, but battery could last longer. Top-tier noise canceling, pricey but worth the comfort. Great audio and build, but still too expensive for most
