    These are great headphones. The only downside I have had is the oils from my hands easily showing up on the black headphones. They sound great. On a side note, I didn’t receive the 6 months of Apple Music that are advertised with them. Other than that they have been perfect

    They’re fine headphones but you can get the same performance for half the price. Nothing amazing, the features are more gimmicky than useful. For the app to work properly for active noise cancelling it has to track you which is fine but uses data. None of the Spatial Audio works if you don’t spend the money on the specific apps that support it which cost money. Overall if you’re in the Apple eco-system, get the Air Pod Maxs. They sound better and the noise cancelling is way better. If you want the Sonys get the MX4’s the bass is better.
