They're very bright out of the box, experience bass distortion/clipping at very high volumes - at least currently - and you need a PS5 for firmware updates and to change EQ profiles or create a custom EQ. Bluetooth codecs are thin on the ground, so you're aiming for dongle usage only.

Until Sony wants to create a phone app to dial in an EQ, seems you wouldn't recommend this for non-PS5 users unless they're very comfortable with the default tuning. Seems like everyone else will get a steal, though.
