Not Aptx-HD like touted. I bought this after seeing pictures of previous reviews on Amazon.com showing the aptX-HD branding on the back of the box. Well seems like they have changed.. Its not even aptX-LL.. Two steps backwards in "features" from previous version.. deceived and that's even before opening the box.. Meh.. But still going to give it a shot.Once opened, the content is nice. A hardshell carrying case with a fishnet pocket to keep your 2 wires, one usb for charging and one 3.5mm wire if you want to use it instead of bluetooth. Now let's talk about those wires.. The usb for charging is fine. But the 3.5mm cable has in-line controls and a mic for calls. So one jack is a 2 "pins" for stereo sound and the other is a 3 "pins" for stereo and mic input. As long as you plug the 3 pins in your phone and the 2 pins in your AUX on headphone, everything is Gucci.. But if you inadvertently do the opposite, your sound is going to sound hollow and well it shouldn't be.. Because the headphone also has a mic but it's inactive when you plug in the in-line wire.. Of course on the wire there's no indication about which jack goes where other than that usually the control box is usually close to your ear than to your phone. Its just my opinion but I'd rather have a better quality 3.5mm cable without the in-line controls. The one provided doesn't have volume control so you'll need to pull out your device for that anyways. I'm saying this because the sound with wires is pretty awesome!Now to the bluetooth sound. Its above average. I do enjoy the musicality. Its better than what I have used before. I prefer without ANC as the bass is deeper and there's overall lots of details altho its a bit muffled (I'm spoiled with my HD600 lol). ANC probably works well when commuting but soundwise it just kills the bass ooomph and overemphasizes the highs to the point it could become painful to listen to. But since this ANC is meant to eliminate outside low frequencies, it does what it has to do. The best sound is in my opinion when using wires. In that perspective they are very decent headphones with decent versatility. I guess you get what you pay for. They are worth the price because of all the features and doing the job for all your needs but they aren't nowhere close to being audiophile without the aptX-HD codec to use with bluetooth or you'll need to buy a decent 3.5m wire cuz the headphones are on par with wired cans in the 100$ range.These are pictures of what's on the box and what's on the User's Manual inside.. Those must be old prints.. As they still show the HD logo next to aptX..If you don't care about geeky codec stuff, I would recommend these headphones as a one Jack-does-it-all. Above average sound, independent ANC that works even when headphones are off, wired option that gives better audio, hard case for transport, regular aptX, long battery life, solid build and nice looks.. All this for less than 100$ it's hard to find a better bang for your buck.I compared them briefly with my friend's Bose QC35 and they come pretty close. Z2 is warmer but isn't as detailed. The ANC is nowhere near Bose's quality but Z2 is also 6x cheaper. So I'd pick these headphones anytime.Let's just hope they pass the test of time. But they have a lifetime warranty so you're covered!
