Had some Bose QC35s before. These are a class above both in terms of quality finish and more importantly in music quality. There are headphones with more complete noise cancelling but between Bose and B&W these are for audiophiles. Read more

The speakers and microphone are very clear. Mic is a bit quiet though. I am using these purely for Discord while gaming. This is not what they were designed for but thought I'd try them out. I discovered these while researching headsets with good range. At first I was disappointed, but after getting a better BlueTooth transceiver (with an antenna) and cabling that so it was outside of my office with a powered USB hub in that cabling, coverage is now very good. Office is upstairs at 1 corner, and can get clear reception downstairs at opposite end of house. Turning noise cancelling on changes how you hear your own voice. Impressive blocking of external sound, just by wearing these. But quite a bit of pressure on your head to get it this way. And the small cups are not quite comfortable even for my small ears. Pressing the ANC button has near deafened people I'm talking to. They have had to turn me up to hear me clearly on Discord. Windows says my slightly louder than normal talking volume is 6% where my other set hits 27%. Not had volume complaints on Zoom though. Power setup is my biggest issue. I've read people getting about 4 hours use with ANC on, but I only get that without ANC. There is a shutting down sound when it runs out of juice and instantly powers off. No other warning beforehand. Not being able to turn them on while still charging from the cable is such a bad design. Once the battery is flat, I cannot just plug in a power cable and keep on chatting, I have to have a backup headset to use while it is charging. Because of this, I rarely use this headset. Great for a 1 hour meeting if you remember to put it back on charge all the time. Terrible for voicechat if you need it running for more than 3 or 4 hours. I would not buy again. Though, I am using them for a purpose they were not designed for. Slightly bigger ear cups and ability to use without taking it off charge cable may change my mind, though something with a mic mute button would still win out over this model for me. Read more

Wer einen ausgezeichnet verarbeiteten Over-Ear-Kopfhörer in edler Ausführung sucht, der sich sehr komfortabel trägt, der sehr leicht ist (ca. 250 g Gewicht), schön anzusehen ist und über einen hervorragenden Klang verfügt, der ist hier genau richtig! Der Klang ist sehr, sehr angenehm und ausgewogen, eine sehr gute Auflösung verbunden mit klaren Höhen und satten runden Bässen. Der Sound ist dynamisch, aber immer entspannt, niemals schroff. Er versprüht fast ein wenig analogen Charme, besonders bei der Wiedergabe über ein hochwertiges Kabel, aber auch über Bluetooth ist die Wiedergabe exzellent. Der Kopfhörer empfiehlt sich nach meiner Ansicht besonders bei hochwertigen Jazz-, Folk-,Blues- und Singer-Songwriter-Aufnahmen, gibt aber auch Pop und Rock authentisch und ansprechend wieder. Einen Kopfhörerverstärker verwende ich nicht, bin aber trotzdem völlig zufrieden! Der Kopfhörer verfügt über eine aktive Geräuschunterdrückung (ANC) in zwei Leistungsstufen, das ANC ist gut, aber nicht Spitze. Die Akkulaufzeit beträgt 24 h im Maximum, auch das ist ein guter Wert. Die Bedienbarkeit ist gut, aber nicht intuitiv. Der Preis ist nicht billig, aber, wie ich finde, für die hohe Qualität angemessen. Fazit: Ein wirklich guter Allrounder für Zuhause und unterwegs in toller Qualität und mit stets relaxtem und überzeugendem Klang zum angemessenem Preis. Read more

I'll try to be brief. I decided to buy wireless phones because my ears have degraded over the last several years, and I knew that asking my wife to tell me what someone said on TV many times a night was really getting to her. My hearing loss is mostly in the upper mid and the high end. Above 8K cycles to be exact. Once i decided to buy, I did my due diligence and read the reviews and decided on several pairs to consider. Here's what I got in no particular order: 1. Shure Aonic 50 2. Sennheiser Momentum 3 3. Bowers and Wilkins PX7 4. Focal Listen 5. Massdrop x Beyerdynamic DT177X 6. Beyerdynamic Amiron Copper 7. Master and Dynamic MW65 They all arrived on the same day, and the testing began. I listened to them all for about 2 hours each. I'll start with the ones that I didn't like: Focal Listen - Honestly, these felt so cheap for a pair in the $300.00 to $500.00 range, I didn't even listen to them. I reboxed them and set them aside. Am I a snobby audiophile? Quite the contrary, but I do expect build quality to be commensurate with the price. Shure Aonic 50 - A very brief listening session. They also felt rather poorly made, and the bass was overwhelming. Massdrop x Beyerdynamic DT177X - These actually had a few things going for them, but not enough. Beyerdynamic Amiron Copper - Loose, mushy bass, decent mids and highs. I hated the touch controls. Much too complicated for someone who staunchly believes that less is definitely more. Sennheiser Momentum 3 - Getting closer. Bass was boosted, mids were quite good, highs unremarkable, instruments sounded distant. Build quality was also very good. Bang and Olufsen PX7 - Closer still. Excellent, wide soundstage, bass was too boosted for my liking, midrange was excellent as well as the highs. Comfort, again a close second. Master and Dynamic MW65 - The holy grail. My god, it was like entering a different dimension. Bass was dynamic but not bloated, mids were lush and articulate, and the highs crystal clear. The soundstage was a bit wider than the PX7's, but not by much. I heard things not heard in any of the others. Cymbals sizzled, you could hear the air rushing through the horns, fingers striking the strings on upright bass, hammers hitting the wires on piano, and human voices were quite literally astonishing. Obviously, my main criteria here was the sound. I don't care at all about ANC, making or taking calls, how good the app is, etc. I wanted a neutral but not dry sound signature. Perhaps analytical by most people's liking. These babies put out exactly what you put in. The better the recording, the better they sound. They are also very comfortable. On ear, not over the ear for me at least. The PX7's once again came in a close second. I would easily recommend the PX7's if cost is an issue, but the B and D's simply blew the rest out of the water. I forgot to mention build quality. As for the MW65's, I cannot imagine a way in which you could improve upon them. CNC machined, the finest leathers available, nothing to wear out really, aside from many years of use. Lastly, they have beryllium drivers. I don't believe that any others on my list use them. I have to believe that there is some significance to that when it comes to their elegant sound. The PX7's once again came in a close second. Last night while surfing I found these in an all black version. How I didn't see that configuration in my many hours of doing nothing but searching for headphones, will forever remain a mystery. They must be quite limited. So now I'm even happier with my purchase. I didn't think that was possible. Read more
