About this deal

This matches the Sony WH-1000XM4 and is much higher than the Apple AirPods Max and Bose 700, which are both rated at 20 hours. So this might be hard to swallow for the stalinist, reductionist, hardcore Harmanians who claim that adherence to the FR is all there is.

made an original digital copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) album sound like a remastered version, cleaning up the distortion on bottom-heavy gems like “Bring Da Ruckus” and “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing…,” while keeping bass punchy. Noise cancellation was both intuitive and strong, though I wouldn’t place it the same league as the Bose 700 or Sony WH-1000XM4. The right size for protection and accessory storage but not so big as to prohibit throwing in a backpack. Yes, you can spend less than half of this amount of money on some outstanding alternatives - but if it’s cachet and exclusivity you want to go along with superb sound quality, well, it’s going to cost you.If the minor harmonic variations in an instrument intrigue you, or the most fleeting mouth-sounds as a singer prepares to deliver the next line, the Mark Levinson will keep you listening – and entertained – for hours on end.

Neutral is the default setting and works like a charm, but the other two are also worth checking out.Few are the singers that can communicate with the immediacy or the directness of Billie Holiday - and when she’s heard via a pair of these headphones, her peerless virtuosity is apparent. Anouar Brahem’s “Improbable Day” is a solitary flow of a melody, a mystery, played wonderfully by the Orchestra Della Svizzera Italiana. There is a mild degree of elevation in the upper midrange and lower treble that does push female vocals in front of the instrumentation but it is mild enough that there was no sibilance or harshness.
