Bluetooth you mean? I don’t know if anyone would cable tie them.
Given that the audiophiles are a very small percentage and that these, the XM3’s, QC35ii’s and heck even the Beats studio 3’s are the general choices for the other 98% of the listeners. They have to review good sound not just be great at blocking sound. The YouTube reviewers that review these will test many sets for outright sound and place these high.
I have had them all or tried what I haven’t had. Sure my open back Sennheiser’s have detail but I’m a struggling ‘audiophile‘. I like bass. I’d go as far as to say the human race is genetically tuned to low frequencies. I sometimes use my XM3’s then immediately swap to the Senns. It’s like the fun button off on your hifi. Remember the 90’s hifi‘s had a loudness button. Like that’s off. Plus when your tunes are bopping in the background you don’t strain your head to listen to hear everything at once and the furthest reaching symbol tap. You read, browse and switch off.
So do they sound good even tho they are full of tech? TLDR?
YES!
