I would like to see a headphone with the Audiophile community in mind and I rather pay 400-800 bucks for something great, because there are so many crappy cheap wireless headphones. A few things I would like to see: -great passive noise Isolation, because that's way more effective then active, besides for airplanes -If active noise cancelling, then rather tailored for airplanes, and static noises -usb c for charging and wired dac use -3.5mm trrs for balanced passive mode which goes around all the active features -if it has eq, then it should be well tailored to the headphone and the headphone needs a driver that responds well to eq. I rather have no eq then a half baked one. -A rotary volume control, like the surface headphone has, cause it just feels great. -A big dynamic driver, which has a smooth warm sound with wide soundstage and great bass extension, like the sony mdr z7/z1r But overall, you guys seem to know how to make great stuff, keep doing that and we'll keep buying them;)

tyllGet out of my head!!! It's either that or you've got my house bugged!!! I agree with you almost line by line. The only thing that I might take exception to is a rotary volume control. It's just not my cup of tea especially from an aesthetics point of view. It would also have to be of very high quality, built for longevity & completely weather/dust-proof. I would rather bypass the added expense occurred to do it right. For me the starting point has to be sound quality. I tend to gravitate towards headphones that get the micro detail/dynamics right & also do well at image placement. I'm also sensitive to ANC & generally find it to be detrimental to overall sound quality. Yes, I recognize its value & probably would appreciate its inclusion, but it's not an absolute necessity for me. I also feel the same about including some type of presets or equalization software. They're not deal breakers either way for me. What I definitely want to see is a removeable battery in the fashion of B&O. It definitely helps to fight oblesence. They also should include a proper hard case! I find it reprehensible to pay hundreds of dollars for a portable headphone & a suitable carrying case to protect my investment is not included! Drop is notorious for this & it's criminal IMHO. An extra set of pads wouldn't hurt either! I've never had any issues with touch pad controls. I think that I actually prefer it as long as the technology is applied correctly. If you do go with physical buttons, be sure to make them of proper size & differentiation. Blindly feeling for the right button can be just as infuriating as a bad touch pad.

MaverickAHGreat to see someone agrees with me. thise are pretty good points against a wheel control, I also like touch control a lot, it’s much more intuitive then buttons. I don’t mind a missing case that much, but it’s nice for portable cans, but you can get pretty nice cases on amazon too. But a good replaceable pad system is always aprecheated, as with magnets, but you know, nature finds a way
