Great review. I have the H8, and was looking into upgrading to the HX, I'm sold! The H8 has lasted for more than 10 years and still awesome noise canceling. It has gotten me through flights, long road trips and and a calming experience as a Mom. I'm excited for this upgrade.

Fantastic review! A review that I've been waiting for! I have a pair of '18 H9i, so I came here super stoked! Little bit of a bummer that the ANC on the HX still affects the music. But since I've been listening to my H9i with ANC off for 3 years now, this is no biggie, but I wish the HX could do better. My biggest gripe with the H9i is that the touch pad is crap. Very inert, absolutely unpredictable and became affected by environmental conditions after just a few months of usage. Looking forward to trying out the HX's touchpad. It's also a slight bummer that the HX don't have the rotary dials like on the H95 (the grooves are already there...). Can't wait to try out how the HX sound! My H9i still holds up nicely sound wise, and I hope the HX can impress me. Looking forward to trying the HX and the PX7 side-by-side!

Good, thorough review. These look like a good option for people who want a more stylish option. I get the sense that a lot of people want a decent wireless headphone and aren't very concerned about ANC performance. I would like to see a decent wireless headphone with proper parametric EQ in the accompanying app.

About the bass you are absolutely wrong, as a H9 3rd gen owner myself, the EQ can bring the bass to a very hard hitting experience. If you want more than that, get beats by dre or headphones that only prioritizes bass (they all suck big time).
@matteventu3 жыл бұрын
H9 3rd Gen (which I own too) have a slightly more pronounced V-shaped sound signature compared to the HX (a.k.a., H9 3rd Gen naturally have more bass). The HX are more similar to the H9i, which are brighter compared to H9 3rd Gen.

Yeah, the H95’s are pricey, but I’ve owned a number of ANC headphones and they really are the best for sound quality (balanced with a lean on the bass) and overall an incredible product.

@@jarjared3522 I know but this isn't just a gaming headset. I have the Logitech G Pro X Wireless and HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless. This is about segmentation. The Portal is for those who are looking for high end wireless headphones that can compete against the likes of Sony, BOSE, and B&W (I own the PX7) but also do some gaming. So it's ~$150 more than a high end headphone for premium build (aluminum and leather vs plastic) and wireless headset capabilities. if the BOSE NC700 or Sony 1000XM4 could double as gaming headsets, folks would pay $150 more for them.

Don’t rub your thumb on the pads as hard as that! They will probably start to split round the sides like my h9 3rd gen have. It wouldn’t be so bad if they sold replacements at a reasonable price or in all the colours. They want 90 usd for the pads in my country and only have argilla bright (fawn). If the pads from my older models would fit I wouldn’t mind so much as I have h7 that have failed due to the sliding switch’s poor design that I could have used.
