Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe I'll buy it again.

Are they worth their money? Absolutely not.
Did I wear airpods and other bluetooth gadgets? Also no, alas.
I must say that these headphones can really help keep you in the mood during the day, especially if you are trampled by a herd of juvenile mammoths around you. It will not save you from the frisky "PAAAAP, MAAAAAAM" in the district, but still - if the dog's meow and cat's woof do not give you peace, then it's worth looking in the direction of the noise cancelers, even if not these ones.
Are there more cons than pros? - Yes and no. Completely normal ears. Yes, and the sound is not the same and the speech is not the same - when you have quite studio stuff in the environment. Yes, there are a number of restrictions, but I must say that the ears are completely fine.
Lack of APTX? - Is it a minus? If you live with an iPhone or PC all your life, then this is not a problem at all. iPhones have never been able to and most likely never will be able to in APTX. Only LDAC/AAC - only hardcore.
Here Windows - yes. It's a shame it turned out - when using the ears as a headset, the ears automatically turn the sound quality to zero. True, this is not a problem with headphones, but it's still a shame.

Pros

Noise reduction - the ability to completely jam a child jumping from above without using the thousand bream technique. Actually because of what the ears were taken. On the psyche and ears does not press. Moving to the "silent" world is quite pleasant and gentle. After removing the headphones, there are no negative effects. I want to try them at the shooting range someday, but so far my hands have not reached :) Battery - holds, holds enough and is quite comparable with the manufacturer's statements. I personally keep even a little longer, but most likely because I don’t really listen to music in these ears. Their task is to muffle third-party noise and reproduce the noise that I need (mynoise. Net) They charge quickly - it’s quite possible to charge them for a hundred square meters during a pause in a flight. Touch control and a button for switching the noise reduction mode - turned on another mode and you hear what you need (the noise reduction mode is adjusted from the phone and is remembered, I did not try to adjust it from Windows, and it is hardly possible). If you don’t hear what you need, you put your hand to your right ear. And if you don’t hear it anyway, you take it off and loudly exclaim the signature one - “Huh? ” A good transfer of the environment - you can really hear almost everything. Sometimes, if you do not focus much on the details and sound quality, the environment is heard almost the same as without headphones. They sit perfectly on the head, but not for those whose ears are at least a little upright - I personally rub my left ear a little, but in general there are no unpleasant sensations. Ping - someone complains about a long ping in their ears. Yes, it is, but I would not say that it is big. I didn’t try to drive shooting games, but in any case, when fussing with the stave in different DAWs, there was no discomfort - in any case, these are not 100-200ms found on your Internet. On sensations, yes and 10ms are not present. With a wire they will be faster, but personally I didn’t really notice.

Cons

Microphone - the quality, to be honest, is very mediocre, but you need to understand that this is a microphone directed in all directions, but not in the face and, probably, not very intended for high-quality communication. Sound - after studio monitors and headphones, even if the same mdr-7506 sound, it seemed to me, is not much different from any DEXP, incl. and by wire. But, I must say, my opinion here should not be weighty because I did not load them much. I hardly listen to music, I tried to reduce zero and a half tracks in them - that's my opinion. Definitely not for the studio, although if you want to hear how it will sound on other people's geniuses, it will do. Glasses - when worn with glasses, the ear pads of the headphones will periodically rub, fart and let in noise (I must say that when connected with a wire, you will also be wildly delighted - every movement of it will be clearly reverberated in your ears). Again, I must say that the problem with glasses is fixed by changing into lenses or simply by changing glasses (but the headphones will still let through some noise). Markie - don't take black, but it's half-truth. Eat cherurek from the market - don't rush to wash your hands, just put your hands on the headphones and they will shine! But in fact, this soiling is evident only for the first few days. If you wash your hands and don't touch your face often, you'll be fine. Expensive - good headphones without a wire so that someone steals them from you. Touch control needs some work - there is currently no button/gesture to mute the microphone, which, as it were, is a sax. There is no customization. You can not wear it in the rain, water, snow and other things - there is no experience yet, but the instructions say so: D. There is a suspicion that with such a sock the ambicures will spread. In the cold, well, you yourself understand - the battery will not order to serve for a long time. They don’t fold up - if compactness is important - it’s worth bypassing it (I personally live well at the bottom of the backpack).
