Sound quality:
• I’m not a total audiophile, but the sound quality is a solid 9/10 for me. I honestly can’t tell the difference between these and my retail pair. The transparency mode is basically perfect too, just a tiny bit quieter than real life, but everything else about the sound is great
Noise canceling
• The ANC is okay but not amazing, maybe a 6/10. It’s fine for blocking out fans or traffic, but it doesn't do much against voices. I could hear my TV perfectly clear even with ANC on. also, the device switching is kind of a hassle. It doesn't jump between my macbook and ipad automatically, so I have to manually disconnect and reconnect every time. They also leak sound pretty bad if you're blasting them
Build & feel
• The starlight color looks more like silver, which I actually prefer. The earcups are weirdly more comfortable than my original ones, which was a nice surprise. For the flaws, the buttons have a clicky sound, the crown is tighter than the real ones, and the USB-C port has a bit of a gap. The mesh on the headband is also way more stretchy than it should be
Battery
• The battery life is easily a 10/10. They arrived at 60% and I haven't had to charge them once despite using them a lot the past few days. The serial numbers actually show up as valid too
