I’m looking to replace Final UX3000 headphones. They broke (one of the cups snapped off) after a year and a half of use. I loved the sound but the build quality wasn’t great.
I mostly listen to pop and rock (prog, prog metal) and jazz on my Pixel phone. So I’m looking for something between £155 and £180 (I guess it makes it under USD 200). I mostly listen to the music at home (outside and at the office I use earbuds). I was thinking about M50xBT, but my daughter has it and she is not happy with Bluetooth. So probably something different. Thanks a lot!
No, I didn’t. I didn’t know that it’s possible. In any case, I returned the headphones as they were still under the manufacturer’s guarantee.
I’ll check out the headphones you have mentioned. I have a gift card with £155 on it. So I want to spend all of it on the headphones. I don’t mind to top it up a bit but don’t want to spend less and then left with £20 or less on the card.
I was doing some research for a friend recently and these seemed good. Fairly recent release…as popular features go, it seems to have all of them! so quite competitive in that way but more importantly to me the app seemed good with a decent equaliser
Edifier WH950NB may also be worth a look…had some good reviews
I always love sony, but you have to pay more to get more…WH-720N advantage is its very light but its very bassy rather than balanced, software features more limited.
if you’re open to spending more to get better sound…saving up for the Sony XM5 would be worth it. it was immediately obvious how audibly superior it was to the CH720n when I did some A / B testing of them back in the summer.
Just spotted this thread. It’s not easy finding a good set . One good thing is if you buy from a.zon you can return them . And for me this was the only way I could really try some out. So after researching a few from. Bose, sound core , Sony, sennheiser, and a few budget ones I picked the new sennheiser momentum 4 special edition with gold edging. Normal Amazon simple brown box . Enclosed case etc . Set them up. Stuck the app on phone to check for updates and sound profiles, anc strength. Etc . Most of it I didn’t need. I mainly play my music from audio players not a phone anyway . So wouldn’t really use the speaking stuff. Anyway after good reviews I was not happy. The sounds were good . Aptxhd etc . But the pause when removing headphones didn’t work and pressing to choose adaptive anc or transparent mode didn’t sound any different…so for the good deal at £215 I returned them. And this week they have now gone up to £270. ?? So I have now pulled the plug and gone the eBay route and bought the cheaper sennheiser accentum plus for £100. New. And hopefully these work out ok for the money. I already have the sound core q30 which were £62 and I’m hoping these are just as good if not better.
