Jeebus thats horrible. I'm not understanding the "upside" though, are the $30 headphones the same as the XTZ divines??

Let us know how they are. You seem ready to not like them before you get them ;-)

ATH-WS99BT They aren't that portable though...

The PM3 look beautiful to me but too heavy to truly be portable, despite their form factor.

The very first page of this thread lays out his rationale - he has no "favorite". He has a long list of breakdowns and headphones that are useful depending on what you want - but no ranking or one favorite.

Spoken like somebody who hasn't read the intro...

Youre connected as a headset, not a headphone. Different protocol and compression.

Thanks for this. I think helpful criticism from a thoughtful preson is a good addition to the chorus of love for something this $$.

they STILL aren't selling them in the US! What a disappointment.. or a way to drive up demand

Whats the weight on them? I emailed Marshall and them seemed super weighty. Plus reviews have not been kind..

Newest Marshall. They are SOOO heavy I wouldnt deem them portable.

Too heavy, not good sound, next!

Question, have you tried with another BT source, such as another phone or even a laptop? Not questioning your experience, but its helpful to isolate all variables to find the one at fault. Seems people in this thread and others on the MM2 who experience this usually have either had REV01 or an...

Seems to me like you got REV01 - from reading comments here. Are these just now bought from BHphotovideo or a while ago? I wonder if they're still selling REV01

  You're still missing my point:   for a $300 wired headphone, this one barely competes with what I detailed above (ATH, Sony, RBH, Thinksoud ON1, etc) which start lower - say $200-$300. Hence I start with the thought that these should be $250ish, max, as wired.   Now, I AGREE with you that...

  Now THATS a great price :-)

You have an amazing capacity to both troll-ishly insult me while not reading my post. Because otherwise you'd never say anything as dumb as this: "So what you're saying is they should cost the same or less the non-Bluetooth model".   Read again what I said and get back to me:   Basically...

These are probably some of the best BT headphones out there bar none.   But at their price they are truly a joke. Sennheiser knows they could charge this much when the field was small. But now with all the other companies coming out with comparable BT headsets, both large and small companies...

You'll be fine dude, its your phones.

I like you two chatting. Its very nice

You are awesome!! Can't wait to buy these!

Thanks for the review Gregio! I want to confirm that these are LIGHT (lighter than Momentum 2.0 or AKG Y50BT) because I want as portable as possible to wear in public and on trains without issue :-)

How did you buy them? Can't seem to find them in the US.
