I think almost all headphone reviews miss the point that makes Airpods succesful. Yes, I can find cheaper. Yes, I can find better sounding. I can even find both. But I have not find headphones other than Airpods that have such a high success rate pairing with my phone

put it in other way: “actually *%&€#” #-ing works” is worth 1000 points and sounding awesome vs. sounding just decent is worth 23 points on my headphones comparison chart

after Airpods Max reviews came out I’ve thought of getting the Sony headphones almost every review mentions. But none of them mention if they pair with Apple devices reliably. Not going to take that risk with a almost 300€ purchase

The sony's are good at it. Work well compared to others...very well. XM3’s do not offer the multiple connection. All depends on your use case

@Munish sounds good, I want “laptop headphones” and multiple connection won't matter that much. Will have a closer look, thank you!

Munish Pruthi

in that case they are great. Used mine for two years. I also have others that are more capable sound wise, so have compared a lot. If these are a step up for you, they are a good all round device.

@Munish that is great, now I need to find a solid justification for getting one more pair of headphones, bought two pairs already 2021 😀

Munish Pruthi

what have you purchased to date?

Timo Koola

@Munish got a pair of cheap game headphones for my son and also bought Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio card (with microphone and headsets) for my desktop recording setup
