The method to turn them off/on is kind of weird (you twist the earcups 90 degrees)

they're still bulky if light earcups

One issue I have with the Sennheiser is the relatively small earcups for an overear headset

I've always heard great things about Sennheiser and the sound quality of these headphones is as good as or better than every other model I tested, including wired ones in this price range

Be sure to follow instructions for the Pause Play option or it won't work as

Brother in law recommended these to me as he is purchasing a pair of his own

Bass is strong – but not artificially emphasized and muddy as it is on so many other headphones

Then I took a call and started typing on my computer: I could hear every click as clear as if I didn't have headphones on.

The Bluetooth paring with my Android phone was flawless, as well as with an MP3 player.

Definitely a solid A from a first-time headphone buyer.

Sony has a pocket inside for the airplane adapter, then a mesh pocket on the outside for a cord (which I don't like as it tends to snag when you're stuffing the thing inside a bag - would have rather just had the pocket on the inside)

I have also noticed that the noise cancelling does not seem to be as effective as with the 550s, but I do not notice as much wind buffeting.

It's easily paired with multiple devices and intelligently fails over between them as they become available

They aren't as sensitive as an

: I primarily listen to hip-hop/R&B/ as well as classical

I give these headphones a solid C- overall.

If price was no issue (whens that?

The 550’s are also quite polite, and nice enough to provide a narrative for you about what they’re doing

I still love the sound of my PSB M4U-2’s, but the 550’s are also excellent for pure listening enjoyment, and are not solely justified
