    Honestly kinda regret buying them since I tried a similar model that was half the price. Price feels very name tag taxed

    A few years ago I would leave an absolutely glowing review for these headphones but... we live in a different reality now. Companies like Edifier and 1MORE have headphones that cost 1/4 of this set's price and perform just as well (and in some cases better). Sony may still have the edge on ANC but if you value sound quality more than noise cancellation there are simply other, more interesting options out there that will save you A LOT of $$$.
