HD1s will be more comfortable since the ear cup will be larger and cushion more generous. I think it looks better, too.c3apollyon wrote: ↑ How do these compare to the $399 Sennheiser HD1s?

341.99 is the price already discounting ebates and not adding taxes right? unless I am missing something to reduce the price further from 399- 10% sign up coupon ?

Looking mainly to get a set for commute on subway which screeches and wails. Need NC to dull that.mac_bug wrote: ↑ HD1s will be more comfortable since the ear cup will be larger and cushion more generous. I think it looks better, too.
It will have inferior noise cancelling though, if you watch Hardware Canuck's review, they had a problem where the NC was unbalanced depending on which way he turned his head, so if you are buying these for airplane only, the Sonys will be much better. Sony can also allow you to turn off NC or use ambient modes etc, and you also have the touch controls (wish I could turn them off sometimes though). NC is on for HD1 all the time.

The only thing that will degrade is the battery. Headphones by themselves last for a long time. Assuming that you don't abuse them, I would say 10+ years.brensavoyton wrote: ↑ With these and the bose qc 35 or any comparable nc headphones, how long do you expect them to last? Do you think in 2 years they are likely to have problems? I have never owned over-ear headphones, and have always had to replace my earbuds every few months, except my apple ones which have lasted over a year and counting.
Im not worried about the battery not being able to hold a charge (that is inevitable) or the headphones cracking, but im honestly wondering, when buying these do you expect they would keep for 5 years or longer?

Using the head connect app if I set the ambient sound control to 10 then i don't hear it, but if you slide it to 20 and down to 10 again repeatedly, it's a very audible hiss at 20 in a quiet bedroom with no other sound.g2fl wrote: ↑ So I had some time to play with it today. In a quiet environment I can hear the "distant faucet" type sound; however it is quite faint and you need to be specifically listening for it (while there is obviously no audio being played from the headphones).
In terms of quick attention mode I tried a number of times to hear any static but did not encounter any. Could there be some nearby interference? Did you try in different rooms?
