Pros
- All in all I can strongly recommend them. These are the first wireless headphones I have owned that I can actually see myself using over my wired ones at home in some situations.
- ANC: Pretty similar to the B&W models from what I can tell, and better than the Momentum 4. Not as good as Sony but more than good enough to me.
- To me they simply sound very comfy and clear, warm-ish without being dark. They seem to be slightly V-shaped, but still have a very nice mid-range, and the treble is never too sharp. The soundstage is impressively wide for a closed-back...

To me they simply sound very comfy and clear, warm-ish without being dark. They seem to be slightly V-shaped, but still have a very nice mid-range, and the treble is never too sharp. The soundstage is impressively wide for a closed-back headphone. ... Vocals are very clear and natural (not any less clear but a bit recessed compared to any of my open backs). Drums sound especially great, punchy and snappy with great transients.
Better than the Momentum 4, not quite as nice as either of the B&W headphones. The hinges are thick metal and feel very sturdy. Earcups are plastic with metal top plates. Earpads are real leather with some nice soft cussioning and can easily be replaced thanks to a bayonet fitting.
To me they feel great. Clamping force is what I would call medium. The top padding is comfy. The pads are soft and they easily get a good seal. Passive noise isolation is also pretty strong. I wore them for around 4 hours the day I got them without any complaints.
