In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

I don’t understand why suddenly in several reviews nearby they are upset because of the lack of noise reduction - on the box and in all the pieces of paper inside it is not stated at all (I can provide proofs), and on the Philips website the noise reduction is only dryly mentioned in the characteristics, so I suspect , which meant just a snug fit of the ear pads to the ears. :D
I bought this product for 2360 at a discount (at the time of writing, the average price is 3.5k) and I think that for this money these are excellent headphones that can be found on the market today. If there was a multipoint, then it would not be a pity to take it for 3.5. :)
In the subway, yes, it is noisy, but these are not plugs and there is no noise reduction. But everything sounds good enough.

In general, this is a device for its money - yes, it is quite comfortable and pleasant to the touch, it knows how to play music for a long time, but you should not demand more from it.

Pros

Delightful assembly: nothing backlash anywhere, the ear pads are quite soft. Ergonomics: nice matte plastic; a very convenient shape of the bow, which really does not press at all and is well regulated (does not jump off when it is not necessary); the size of the speakers will please bespectacled people - in combination with the softness of the ear cushions, you can find their position so that the temples of the glasses are not pinched and at the same time it is comfortable to listen to something; controls, IMHO, comfortable enough to be able to pause the music even with gloves on. Battery: I almost immediately turned the headphones to the maximum and walked like this all week, fully charged. In this mode, they definitely worked 15-17 hours of active listening. Not 29, of course, but they were hardly tested at maximum volume when they thought what to write on the package.

Cons

No multipoint. Yes, it was not announced, but it seemed to me that for a device with BT 5.0 on board, this is already a matter of course. Switching tracks is not very convenient - if I want to quickly make it louder or quieter, then quickly pulling the rocker button (aka play / pause) up or down several times (under the LED in the photo) instead of changing the volume, I will change the track. Like double-clicking a mouse, but. more exotic. It was a bit annoying at first, but now I'm used to it. Connecting as a headset to a computer is another story. I got hooked to the poppy instantly, but sometimes I notice that the sound comes with some kind of micro-delays, "stumbles", which instantly switches me to rage mode and switching to music from the phone - there are no problems with it (including delays). ate 12/16/20: Micro-delays overtook me in the phone as well. The reason is unknown, I notice on some tracks. Sometimes a reboot helps. I'm taking off one star for this annoying feature.
