  Me too, and the quick connect and passoff with my various Apple devices makes the Max a clear standout. I can live with them being a close second to the Sony headphones, especially when the Max excels at the spoken word tests.

  I just wish they didn’t look so goofy on the head.

    I’m allergic to Apple, so for me they are the least interesting from the list. I just purchased the Sony’s, I must be fucked up in the head to spend so much money on headphones but hey, it’s “treat yourself” day. And the Apple’s are of course unreasonably even more expensive… (see the other video someone posted here).

      You probably did the right thing for headphones.

      I’ve been looking for real data on the effectiveness of Sony’s MX5 vs Max vs others - specifically I want to see how well they do passive and ANC across the frequencies we are exposed to. And Verge have come through with this video: theverge.com/…/we-took-six-pairs-of-headphones-an…

      Its a good video, but its also got real data from some experts. If you are TLDW - then skip to the end for a table from the experts.

      The Sony MX5 are head and shoulders above the rest (with the max second in most categories).
