Best praise vs top criticism for AKG N700NC M2
“I think wireless is great direction to head to. But the current wireless headphones suck not really suck because they are wireless, they suck because all most all wireless headphones are geared to wards consumers (a much more bigger market) and not Audiophiles, which means the tuning of these headphones will usually be overly V shaped, bloated bass (ahem Sony, Skul Candy, B&W, B&O). If you look at the less popular wireless over ears like Final Audio UX3000, and AKG 700NC, those are pretty damn close to have be audiophile grade especially in the overall tonality and sond signature, and these are definitely being limited by the connection technology TLDR: most wireless headphones are limited by the company’s willingness to make their headphone’s sound gear towards audiophiles, and losing profit on the WAY BIGGER consumer market.”
“The top-tier in sound quality is a pretty harsh qualification. I guess I'd say Focal Stellia and Focal Bathys are the closest. Stellia has no ANC (and a very high price tag. And a thin timbre) but very good passive cancellation, and Bathys is not quite as high-end in sound. Also, when the Bathys headband breaks, you are kind of screwed. Below that, maybe AKG N700NC (insanely bad comfort for some people) or Airpods Max.”
