"Hey, cool, something not in-ear, this could be just what I was looking for."
See's price: Nope... I'll stick with what I've got for now.
Those are some of the most expensive headphones I've ever seen and I thought Bose's QC3's at $350 were overpriced. This kicks it up a notch further. I'll be curious what the reviews show for sure, but too rich for my blood.
Oh, I know there's more expensive out there, I should've been more clear, when I said "Some of the most expensive" I actually meant outside of the crazy cans that people buy that call themselves audiophiles lol.
if you are looking for an over the ear, top notch, bluetooth headset, i would recommend the Sony's XM4. i have a pair, they are amazing -- the noise cancelling is so good, it kind of gives me a bit of vertigo.
Guess it’s going to at least somewhat depend on how important spatial audio turns out to be. My QC35s are on their last legs, and I’m certainly pretty curious about these having just ordered some AirPod Pros...
Just a heads up, Bose often give you a discount, or did when I last worked for them about a decade ago, if you trade in your old headphones for new ones.
If it's just the ear pads, those can be replaced for like $20.
