To recap

If you’re looking for a slice of top quality comfort with sophisticated audio quality to boot then these headphones deliver one of the most outstanding over-ear experiences of any cans released in 2021. The active noise-cancelling isn’t as adept as some, and the app doesn’t work for us, but when sound is this good we don’t really care. An easy recommend.
