Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

When choosing compared live:
- JBL 650btnc: quite well built and comfortable to sit. The sound is the simplest of all. Support only SBC. Noise canceling is average.
- Sennheiser HD4.50btnc: live looks much cheaper than they cost. They look like an inexpensive Chinese computer headset. I didn’t like the landing - the ear pads are narrow, they sit uncomfortable, the sound was also not impressive.
- Sennheiser Momentum M2 OEBT: Stylish, even one of a kind. Premium materials: steel and alcantara. Undersized, but quite comfortable fit, as for overhead. The sound is detailed and rich. There is noise reduction, but it is rather for show. Somewhat bulky look on the head.
- Marshall Major III bluetooth: I didn't like the fit at all - they put a lot of pressure on my ears. The sound is quite detailed, but the noise isolation in view of the form factor is absent, as a class.
- Sony WH-1000XM3: More balanced sound than XB900N. There is no such emphasis on bass. Simply the best noise cancellation on the market! Almost complete isolation from ambient noise. But personally, I found this uncomfortable. They cost twice as much (9 for XB900N versus 18 for 1000XM3).

An important point: make sure that your smartphone supports at least aptx, and even better, the LDAC codec. It makes no sense to take these headphones to listen through the SBC codec - the sound quality is strikingly different. I listen to FLAC and music in HQ.

Pros

- Driving, energetic and rich sounding in general. Juicy, powerful booming bass available. At the same time, it cannot be said that high and medium are lost against its background - absolutely not! The overall picture of the sound is detailed with an emphasis on low frequencies. This is not a minus - this is a feature of the headphones. - Excellent and very comfortable fit. Can be worn for hours without taking off. At the same time, they look quite compact on the head, as for full-size ones. - Excellent passive and active noise cancellation. In the metro I listen comfortably at 60-70% volume. Before that, I used AKG earplugs (comes with the Samsung S10e), so I had to constantly correct them for better noise isolation and bass and turn the volume up to 90%, which caused my ears to get tired quickly. With noise reduction, it is a pleasure to listen - for a long time and at a comfortable volume. The noise of the car is remotely audible - this is not 100% soundproofing, but more than sufficient. - Excellent quality materials and workmanship. Nothing creaks anywhere, it's nice to hold in your hands. The surface is rough - prints do not remain. Compact when folded. - Support for LDAC, the presence of Type-C. - Functional application with a bunch of settings. - There was not a single disconnection, unlike TWS headphones. Not with a smartphone, not with Smart TV. The connection is stable regardless of whether you are walking or taking the subway. Elari Nano constantly sinned with this, like Samsung Buds according to reviews. - Many people complain that active noise canceling headphones make a terrible noise when the wind blows. To be honest, I didn't notice this problem at all. The noise of a strong wind is audible, but absolutely not critical, it does not hit the ears.

Cons

- When adjusting the equalizer or turning on the surround sound modes, the LDAC connection mode immediately switches to SBC with a corresponding drop in sound quality.
