The editors didn't like
Swivel earcups nice idea
But not practical
Plastic build
Connectivity bugs
Touch controls need work
Meager mobile features
Plastic-heavy build
Not for those seeking a modern (boosted) bass response
There's no integrated microphone for making cell phone calls and the bulkier design makes them less suitable for mobile use
Prone to leakage at higher volumes
Poor noise isolation performance
No inline remote or phone controls on the cables. Even with the new mobilefriendly short cable
The big and bulky overtheear design isn't entirely mobilefriendly. They fold
But not much
So they're tough to travel with. Probably too heavy for walking aro
Some Bluetooth awkwardness
No aptX-HD
