Pros & Cons
Pros
There was a hissing noise from sony's mic however jbl was super silent and surprisingly captured better depth. The app support to change the music equalizer is the way forward for all audio players. Noise cancellation works good.
This is an audiophile category, and it has a good bass where it is needed. My only slight complaint is the built of the hinges the plastic around the hinges started to crack after about 6 months of use, but the overall experience have been marvelous.
A special feature for those with hearing issues, calibrating and adjusting the volume for each ear individually to ensure balanced loudness. Extremely comfortable ear cups. Very comfortable and compact.

Cons
These are very average sounding earphones filled with full of marketing gimmicks. It's not long that i've purchased and it got broken in no time. Never purchase. Very bad headphones.
