Verdict: Long battery life and easy pairing with both iPhone and Android, plus wired listening over USB-C or 3.5 mm. On-ear cushions and no ANC make them a poor pick for flights.
Good for
- Battery life: up to 50 hours, 5 hours from a 10-minute charge
- iPhone and Android: one-touch pairing and Find My on both
- Wired use: lossless over USB-C, or the 3.5 mm cable for a console controller
Skip it if
- You want noise cancelling (see the Beats Studio Pro)
- On-ear pressure bothers you on long sessions
