@arstechnica I'm currently in the market for a pair of new NC headphones. For me, these are basically a disability aid, since they help me cope with noisy environments. Which means I'm willing to drop a pretty penny on some good headphones. I care less about sound quality than the NC quality. If thesw have much better sound, but the NC is only marginally better, I'll stay with my Sony.

@arstechnica why would you buy these from a company that so happily screws its customers with broken software?

@arstechnica i’m sure headphone consumers have sonos brand loyalty for that totally warranted premium cost
