I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

Before Shure, I sat on the Sony WH-1000XM3, listened to a huge number of other wireless options (flagships from Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, B&O, H/K, Audio-Technica, Beyerdynamic, Mark Levinson). Sony strained with a very mediocre build quality, a rather inconvenient way to control. On average, in other headphones, the problem is precisely in the passive soundstage (as far as the sound is felt inside the head or close to the monitor) - most headphones "press" the sound on the head and at the same time do not have a normal application with EQ to correct the sound.
Shure needed a minimum of twisting, the sound is much more detailed, the application is top, the build quality is super. If you need a very good noise reduction - this is to Sony or Bose, here it is for show.
I consider Shure one of the best options on the market for their cost.

Pros

- Excellent sound quality (clear highs and lows, more "detailed" sound, it took a minimum of EQ tweaking for a normal passive soundstage) - Gorgeous in-app parametric pulse equalizer - Solid build quality (metal frame) - Good control (separate switch for noise reduction and passthrough) - Ability to connect to a PC via USB in sound card mode

Cons

- The application is not available in 2022, I had to get confused to put it on iOS - Noticeably heavier than competitors, but I do not feel discomfort - There is noise reduction, it works, but for show, it is noticeably worse than Sony or Bose
