The editors didn't like
Current Availability
Price (For Some)
Lack Of Support for Hi-Res Codecs
Active noise-canceling could be more pronounced
My ears get hot with extended use
The 85h have a larger battery and substantially sturdier headband than most wireless headphones
So they're pretty bulky (though I never found them uncomfortable)
$300 is a lot of dough for most people to drop on headphones
And cheaper ANC over-ears do
Only supports SBC codec
Not competitively priced
