I've owned these for a few years now and loved them; paid full RRP back then and don't regret it.
I think if you know what you are getting, they are a great deal @$288 but even better with the current Perks 20% discount: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/755889
Some notes for anyone interested (usual reminder that a lot of headphone impressions are subjective and your experience may differ):
- They do have a very warm, relaxed sound. Deep bass but not head shaking to me.
- With noise cancelling disabled, the bass can be overpowering to the remaining frequencies. I feel they are tuned to work best with NC always on.
- NC is good but not to the level of Sony/Bose/Apple etc. The way I think about it is it removes enough distracting noise to let you enjoy the music; where other headphones will try and remove as much noise as possible, then focus on music playback
- Ambient sound mode is surprisingly excellent. On par if not better than my 1st Gen AirPods Pro.
- They can be underwhelming out of the box, burn them in to get the best out of them
- Very comfortable but the headband can cause hotspots after an hour or so of use (on the top of my head). I added dekoni nuggets to eliminate the issue.
- The app is basically pointless. No EQ so you have to like the sound as is.
- No mulitpoint. Not an issue for me but many seem to like it.
V-shaped sound with a lower mid dip, wide staging, no other real stand out qualities. This is an OK price for what it delivers.
