Pros
- Great Sound, Build, Comfort
Cons
- Not
Pros
- Forget everything you knew about Beats, a youth busshead company that had only rubber basses and trebles without a middle for the deaf. After buying them by Epol, it became a really decent sound. Chose between Sony 1000hm3 and Bose QC35. Sony has an absolutely unnatural sound with a signature touch of synthetics, slurred bass (instead of a biting snare drum, Metallica will have a thumping rubber pan). In Bose, the noise canceling makes me sick, apparently, the old technology with anti-phase is not intelligent. Great sync with iPhone. Excellent autonomy. Cool noise reduction and transparency mode. NOT touch controls. LIVE buttons, nothing is buggy in the cold and with temperature changes like touch ones.
Cons
- More than 2 hours of wearing - you need to give rest to your ears. Overhead clamping design affects. ECO-leather (dermantin type) is not clear how long the non-removable ear pads will live. Call quality as a headset is 4 out of 5. The AirPods were 4.5 out of 5.
Pros
- Stylish, neat, compact, good sound, black lighting, fast charging
Cons
- ears hurt a lot. I hope I'll get used to it in time, but for now it's hell . Loud control buttons - pressing is heard in the earpiece
Pros
- Surprisingly smooth sound. Of course, since these are beats, the bass is a bit overpriced. High may not be enough. Switching between apple devices. Good noise canceller. Transparency mode.
Cons
- Weak microphone. The volume of reading messages (which are not read by all). Inconvenient control from headphones. Problems with the wind (most likely due to the fact that overhead). Constant inclusion when hanging on a neck. The lack of normal settings for all this. They can put a lot of pressure on the ears. These are form factor issues, not brand issues.
Pros
- 1) Packing and kit. The black lightning is especially pleasing. The case is soft, yet protective and pleasant to the touch. 2) Design. Headphones matte, guides made of metal. They look strict on the one hand, youthful on the other. 3) Management. Convenient control on the right cup. 4) The quality of the microphones. Even walking along a noisy street, I can hear pretty well, everything is fine in a quiet room. 5) Sound quality. I am extremely impressed that the company has moved away from using too strong bass. To my ears, there is enough bass, mid-bass and mid-bass are generally heard perfectly, the top sometimes cuts the ears at a volume above 70%. 6) Connection. Thanks to the H1 chip, they quickly pair and switch between devices. In addition, it is convenient that you do not need to press anything: it is enough to expand the headphones to turn them on and fold them to turn them off. 7) Noise reduction and transparency mode. The first helps a lot in the subway, reducing background noise quite a lot, the second helps out, for example, at the checkout in a store: you don’t need to remove the headphones from your head
Cons
- 1) No mini-jack. Sometimes you want, but can not connect by wire to a computer 2) Landing. I wear glasses. At rest, everything is OK, I sat for more than 2 hours in a row. But if you walk in them, then the ears begin to get tired after an hour. 3) Cover. With all its advantages, there is one drawback: it gets dirty and collects wool and hair. You need to keep this in mind.
Pros
- looks, build quality
Cons
- Headphones are not comfortable, they are loud, they hurt your ears.
Pros
- The build quality is top notch (no creaking, no backlash). Stylish and beautiful. You hold it in your hands and you understand that it is an expensive thing. There are no fakes. Great sound. Stably keep in touch and convenient connection / reconnection with Apple devices. Charging according to Llighting. They sit very comfortably and do not press at all even after 2 hours of use. I listen to my media library in ALAC format with a high bitrate wirelessly thanks to the h1 chip. They connect wirelessly to a PC with W10, even the volume is adjustable through the buttons.
Cons
- 1. To turn off the headphones, you need to fold any one ear instead of pressing a button. This is very annoying. 2. A soft case will save you only from dust and scratches, but you can buy a tight one on alik for 300 for travel. 3. There is no cable included for connecting to devices via a 3.5 mm mini-jack. The adapter is not suitable for this, and the native cable costs 3000. There is no Chinese equivalent yet. And you need this to connect to the PS4 joystick for sound without delay in games. 4. Leatherette ear pads. The same as on solo2, which completely peeled off sharply after 4-5 years. But, fortunately, on alik for 300. there is a replacement. It is not difficult to distinguish from the original and it is not difficult to change. 5. No power adapter.
Pros
- Great sound, decent noise cancellation. First experience with noise canceling headphones, but the experience is excellent, especially when it comes to constant uniform noise (subway, plane, etc.). The design is nice, binding to Apple devices in one click, but do not think that Android is not connected. The signal is not lost at a sufficiently long distance (quietly walk to the refrigerator at the opposite end of the apartment). And what I now consider their main advantage is compact. When folded, they fit anywhere.
Cons
- They press terribly. At the same time, I would say that this is rather my mistake, because I bought them online, I did not measure them in advance, although I know that I have a giant head. All the comrades to whom he gave vilification (including several hours without removal) almost did not complain about squeezing problems. But after about 40 minutes of wearing, the top of my head starts to hurt a lot, the length of the headphone rim is slightly missing. The second problem that I hope will be fixed is with the software. They added the function of seamless switching between devices to iOS: they say, here I am sitting in headphones, watching something on the iPad, they call me on the phone, I pick up the phone and the headphones instantly switch to the phone without unnecessary clicks. This trick worked for me twice in the whole year. Despite the fact that in addition to the iPhone and iPad, I also have a poppy. But this problem is more for geeks. The third, very miserable problem is that the sound control buttons on the headphones click very loudly. Both online interlocutors, and the people around me, and myself, can really hear the clatter.
Pros
- - Good sound, moderate bass - Very well made, no backlash - "Seamlessly" work with the iPhone, like airpods - fast charging - look cool
Cons
- Shake your head a little harder than you'd expect - Suddenly: the wind whistles a lot (probably the problem of all over-ear headphones)
Pros
- If you use Apple technology, and not only a phone, but also a tablet, laptop or desktop computer, get the most out of the technical side of use. Seamless switching between different devices due to the H1 chip (if you are watching a movie on the tablet and a call comes to the phone, the headphones switch to the phone, etc.). Noise isolation and noise reduction for my taste is no better and no worse than other Bits or Sony, in any case, I didn’t notice a significant difference in comparison with the WH1000XM3, as well as with the Beats Studio 3. I didn’t specifically replace how long the battery lasts, but it lasts really long. A lightning charging connector is also handy if you still have chargers from other Apple equipment.
Cons
- Ergonomics - a complete shield. Switching between modes with a button is not confirmed in any way, neither by voice (like Sony's) nor by an indicator. It remains only to guess what mode the headphones are in now. But the most unpleasant thing is the mechanical pressure on the ears. The bowls, unlike Sony or Studio 3, are small and, together with a tight headband, simply flatten the ears to such an extent that it is impossible to wear headphones from the word at all. And if you also wear sunglasses or ordinary glasses, your ears will be broken already in the second minute of wearing
Pros
- Looks good
Cons
- There are some nuances
