Value for the money. The sound is not horrible, but it doesn't appeal to either $250 (the price at the beginning of sales) or even $200, of course (to which the price dropped before the release of Airpods Pro). Despite the fact that I was fortunate enough to purchase them in the United States at a discount, there are many headphones available for the same price that produce considerably more intriguing sounds. I would pick Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless if I were wearing headphones for sound quality rather than for athletics. Thus, it's best to forget that you can purchase superb studio hi-fi headphones for between $200 and $250 in order to avoid disappointment. Yep, you got that right: the sound here is perfectly normal, but you can have a comparable sound over the wire for less than $100. You need to realize that in this case, the form factor, functionality, and marketing are what you pay for in the main. After all, Beats is Apple, with all the ramifications. Although the ears might sound better with Android. Since there isn't an Apt-X in Cupertino, people exclusively plow their own gardens.
- Unfortunately, despite the fact that the headphones fit your ears perfectly, the ear cushions do not comfortably rest in the ear canal, which causes the bass and sound isolation to disappear. (By the way, many reviews claim that, unlike Airpods, these Beats perfectly block out outside noise - Nonsense, do not believe it. They mute at 10% power, but the outside world is still audible, which I personally don't enjoy. Foam earplugs are therefore essential for vacuum enthusiasts;
- Another drawback was found when running in the cold while wearing a hat (which, incidentally, presses the headphones into your ear and restores the bass): it is annoying that the volume rocker is located on top because you have to reach far under the hat with your index finger, and the ear freezes. Much better would be if the rocker was at the bottom where your thumb could press it without sticking out the cap. But even when wearing gloves and a hat, the round button presses perfectly; I find it annoying that the phone sometimes detects when the ears spontaneously fall off from BT and for some reason does not play the music. Without a case, you're forced to stroll without any music for the entire day. Not that it happened frequently, but it did occur a few times.
