I paid $349 (I think) for my Bose quiet comfort headphones, and they are good - but there are flaws that I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing corrected for a higher price. To each their own I suppose.

I think most people here have their doubts that they will actually be an upgrade over the QC35 or the WH1000XM4. They'll undoubtedly have a better pairing experience and the head tracked spatial audio is unique among over-ears, but there's a chance of losing in sound quality, noise cancellation ability (active & passive), comfort, and battery life. Also based on phrasing at the bottom of the page it's possible that they will only work with Apple products. We'll have to wait and see how they compare.

  Ironically one of the flaws with my QC35s is that I don't find them as comfortable as many others do, haha

  - What makes you think these would be less comfortable than QC35s? People love the comfort of their existing AirPods. - Battery life will be the same (20 hrs). - Given my experience with HomePod sound quality and the quality of my Macbook Pro speakers, I expect the sound quality of these to be better than QC35s. - Not sure about noise cancelling.

    I didn't say I'm assuming any of the negatives are true. I'm saying they're unknowns. If they manage to do well in those categories I listed off, then I can see them being worth a good chunk of money.

  I expect them to be a solid step up in sound quality. I don't understand why people would expect otherwise given the advancements with Airpods Pro and Homepod. Apple has a clear R&D advantage over competitors, and I think it's going to be that much better in a larger format without the space constraints of the Airpods Pro.
