This is the second pair that we have bought for our son, the first pair lasted reasonably well, the pads eventually started losing their covering and one button stopped working (he uses them twice a day). We bought them again because he likes the fit and the sound and they have no problem connecting via bluetooth. It's a shame they don't sell replacement ear pads but hey, we live in a disposable society eh?

The sound quality when using Bluetooth through these headphones is absolute rubbish. Sounds probably worse than $20 kmart headphones. Muddy, narrow sound stage, and no high frequencies at all.

The build quality is the redeeming factor, it is actually built quite impressive and they look stunning. Its just a shame that they sound horrendous.

If you are okay with using the 3.5mm Headphone jack, the sound is significantly clearer and less muddy when using this, but I bought these for Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth sound is just so bad

Mehr ist eigentlich nicht dazu zu sagen.

Da ich keinen Wert auf Hörschäden lege, sind diese Kopfhörer ideal für mich. Vor allem bei eingeschaltenem ANC kommen sie angenehm druckvoll, ohne wie z.B. Teufel oder die unsäglichen Beats Audio mit dem Bass völlig zu übertreiben. Sie klingen immer schön transparent und klar und geben auch leiseste Klänge sehr angenehm wieder.

Der Tragekomfort ist trotz des recht hohen Gewichts sehr hoch, man kann sie daher tatsächlich über mehrere Stunden tragen. Die Verarbeitung ist hervorragend. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis im Gegensatz zu anderen viel teureren Kopfhörern unerreicht gut.

Da ich auf einem Schiff arbeite, wo vor allem im Crewbereich immer laute Hintergrundgeräusche die Ohren und Nerven malträtieren, ist das ANC sehr wichtig für mich. Es funktioniert tadellos, sämtliche Umgebungsgeräusche werden weggefiltert. Auch im Flugzeug ist man in seiner eigenen musikalischen Welt.

Wer keinen Wert auf laute dröhnende Bässe legt und Lautstärken welche Trommelfelle zum platzen bringen können, ist mit diesen Kopfhörern bestens bedient.

My review will be more of a comparison. I have had the opportunity of testing the Exodus ANC the new SONY WH-1000XM4 after ordering both. It was a tough match in which SONY lost. But believe me, it was quite a match. My comparison lasted a few days and took place in several different scenarios, a plethora of music genres, four music apps (some with personalized EQs), one portable DAC (OPPO HA2) and 4 different devices (MacBook Pro, Huawei P30, LG8X THINQ and Nvidia Shield TV).

CONSTRUCTION
Sony doesn't feel the price you pay for them. Yes, they're light and comfortable but boring; functional but shy. I'm pretty sure a lot of people got disappointed after waiting for a new version that doesn't feel like an upgrade but more of the same.
Marley's look and feel sturdy. No creaks, a little heavy but that's subjective (I enjoy heavy headphones). They're something you can toss around with confidence. I would make the cups a little angled for a version 2, though.
I read some complaints about clamping force on the Exodus. It takes time to get use to it, I give them that. But the good thing is that the headband is a flat piece of metal that supports a lot of bending in any direction, and since not every head is the same, they can be reshaped to your liking. I did.
Both headphones have good padding and feel hot after a while, so somehow hard for warm weather, but that is to expect with most closed back headphones on the go.
The texture contrasts on the Marley's are gorgeous. Both ear-cups are composed of black matte wood surrounded by matte aluminum. Two vertical semi glossy black stainless steel rods protrude from the top. Those keep the whole shape in position. The rods are crowned by two black metal caps with a circular pattern that shows a lot of dedication. The rods also have a very fine array of almost microscopic convolutions that produce a satisfying sound when they move along the encasing attached to the hinges.
They both fold flat and occupy little space, being Sony’s the smallest.
The Exodus ANC comes with a carrying bag, unlike the very well-made case on the Sony's. Cables in both headphones have good quality. Marley's come covered in textured fabric.

CONTROLS
I love touch controls. I got used to them since the very first version of the Parrot ZIK I bought over five years ago. They are intuitive and somehow fun. But Sony hasn't done well this time. I still own a pair of ZIK 2 and the touch controls operate smooth and consistent in every weather (wish the ZIK got revamped sometime in the future — sigh). I have struggled with Sony's. They're inconsistent and laggy. And even when the touch area has good size, the volume controls work in a very tiny part of its surface, forcing you to swipe several times before the volume gets under control, with a few undesired stops or skips in the process.
Marley's controls rely on good old fashioned buttons, very well situated and with sufficient tactile differences. There's a NC activation button that works even with the headphones off. You can use it in case you just want to go wired. No need to turn them on.

NOISE CANCELLING
I give everything to Sony in this arena. If you're looking for a very tight simulated silence go for Sony. They have done a pretty good deal of R&D here and the results speak for themselves. However, even when the Marley's fall short in this department, once the sound kicks in any leaking noise just disappears. And the sound... I'll talk about it later on.

BATTERY LIFE
Nothing to say here. Both are die-hard beasts. But if any, I have to give some extra point to the 80hrs without ANC the Exodus boasts.

CONNECTIVITY & APP
Very good range as expected from Bluetooth 5 in both. Unlike the Exodus, the 1000XM4 can be connected to two devices simultaneously. But Sony only allows this through their app, which is not completely convenient.
Pressing for a few seconds on the Exodus’ Play button disconnects the headphones from the device in use and enters in pairing mode.
I noticed something odd with the MacBook Pro, though. The headphones reconnect automatically if they were previously in use when turned off, but after 5 seconds they enter in pairing mode and I have to reconnect them again. Weird.
Only Sony has an app. It s well designed and full of options, most of which I tried once and never again used. It would be useful to have something on Marley’s that could show at least the status of the battery. Also, the low battery warning sound falls short of creativity and could be more subtle.
Neither of them work when charging (something the Parrot ZIKs do since the first iteration, for instance).
USB-C across the board, with fast charge options (5 hours out of 15min-charge in the Exodus ANC case).

SOUND
Sony sound it’s OK to me, not bad at all but not excellent. I read a lot about both versions (XM3 & XM4) and wanted to have the experience myself. Yes, they sound good, but that's it. I find built-in EQs in headphones useless. They function well to a certain degree, but if you force the XM4 with external EQs they fail very quickly. I tried four different music sources and only Exodus passed all the tests.
APPS USED:
- Neutron (Android)
- JetAudio (Android)
- Poweramp (Android)
- VOX (Mac)
- Spotify (both Android and Mac). In the Android case, I tested equalizations with SpotiQ and Equify.

In all my tests Exodus did brilliantly. The sound is tight, spacious, consistent. The bass can be forced to the extreme before distortions start. In Sony’s, bass becomes unstable after some force is applied and the highs become sibilant and phoney very easily. It’s worth adding that I don't enjoy extreme bass in my music listening sessions. I just did it because some notes get really full when they have a little bit of extra bass, especially when listening to orchestral performances. There are some instances of bass that you just don't hear, but the headphones move. Those nuances were absent in the 1000XM4. The 50 mm drivers on the Exodus, when compared to the 40 mm on the Sony, make a noticeable difference.

Some of the songs selected for testing the headphones:

- Zenit (Onuka) - selected to test overall tonality, electronic sounds and etherial female vocals
- Take Five (The Dave Brubeck Quartet) - selected to test old dry, scratchy unplugged sound
- Black Coffee (Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa) - selected to test electric guitar and raw female vocals
- Go Away (Steve Perry) - selected for pop music testing (guitars, mail voice and drums)
- Atchafalaya (Snarky Puppy) - selected for testing complex sound combinations
- Visible Cow (Barkmarket) - testing hardcore electric guitar sounds and stereo separation (this song swings between very confined and very open spaces most of the time)

These songs were carefully played over and over at different volumes and locations (including quiet environments, street walks and public transit). I used a set of different apps mentioned earlier in all of the devices (MacBook Pro, Huawei P30, LG8X THINQ and Nvidia Shield TV) via bluetooth and wire connections, too (except for the Shield that only supports Bluetooth). I started applying custom EQs from subtle to extreme, first in Exodus and then on the 1000XM4’s. Exodus was the unbeatable winner in the sound department, no discussion. I also tested the OPPO HA2 DAC using a Huawei P30 and a LG8X ThinQ (a useless overkill in the case of the LG with it’s Hi-Fi Quad DAC). Again the Exodus shined in passive and active modes, with and without ANC (especially without any of both), which makes them shine as a good pair of passive closed-back headphones.
The call quality in both is average, but in the Exodus case you can use the noise cancelling with your calls.
AUDIO CODECS: ACC on Exodus ANC; LDAC on SONY (lowered to AAC once you connect a second device, or SBC if your device is not AAC compatible).
Both are bad at silencing the noise of the wind while listening to music, being Exodus the worst of the two.

CONCLUSION
It was a tough decision when I first tried the noise cancelling on the SONY WH1000XM-4, but after detailed comparison I decided to return them and keep the Exodus ANC. This is a little sacrifice in favour of the music, which is the main reason I was looking for wireless ANC headphones, other than the occasional daily calls (phone and Teams). The sound is outstanding, the built quality and design are excellent, the comfort is good (again, this is subjective... Well, everything is subjective, right?) and amazing battery life.

Areas of improvement for a second version:
- Multi device pairing
- APTX audio codec
- Ear-cups a little angled forward towards the jawline
- The reconnecting issue solved on Mac
- An app or at least a widget to to keep track of the battery status (and better sound warnings)
- A travel case (not really necessary)

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect
Reviewed in the United States on 4 October 2020
Style: Noise CancelingVerified Purchase
Not perfect, but close enough to earn 5 stars.

Pros:
- As a non-audiophile I think they sound great.
- Super cozy big earcups, and just the right amount of pressure on my medium sized head. I wear them for hours without any discomfort.
- Pretty good build quality. Not at all flimsy. Feel like they'll last for years if treated well.
- Battery life is incredible. I haven't charged them in weeks, and I haven't seen the battery level go down at all since then.
- The wired inline microphone is really good, according to folks I've called.
- ANC works well enough for me, but these are my first pair of ANC headphones, so I have nothing ot compare them to.
- Environmentally friendly! The wood and metal feel way better than any plastic could.

Cons:
- The biggest issue is the built in microphone. When these headphones are connected via Bluetooth and I'm on the phone, my friends on the other end say my audio quality is terrible. I have to speak loudly to be at all intelligible. Using them in wired mode fixes the issue.
- Once or twice the Bluetooth connection has dropped unexpectedly, but they reconnect right away.
- When Bluetooth is on but nothing is playing there are occasionally very quite, high pitched sounds. Not a big deal since they go away when I play any audio.

Despite some minor annoyances, I still love these and would highly recommend them. No pair of headphones is perfect, but these are pretty darn close.
