The detachable analog cable was praised for enabling the music-sharing trick with another pair of headphones.

Cons: aptX, Water/sweat resistance rating
Detachable cable convenience was positive because the wired option kept the headphones usable across different work and casual listening situations.

Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, LDAC
Detachable analog cable use was useful for low-latency wired listening, though broader cable quality drew criticism elsewhere.

Wired listening was useful in a pinch, and one reviewer heard no major sound-quality penalty when using it powered on.

Cons: Water/sweat resistance rating, Wear detection performance
The detachable/wired option was useful for moments when wired listening or battery conservation mattered.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Clamping force comfort
Cons: Transparency mode quality, Sustainability and repairability
Detachable cable convenience was useful for passive listening, but one reviewer disliked the nonstandard 2.5mm headphone-side connector.
Pros: Multipoint connectivity reliability, Software/setup simplicity
Cons: LE Audio readiness, Smart Pause performance
Detachable cable use was mixed, with secure connection praised but aftermarket cable fit called harder due to the recessed/narrow connectors.
Pros: Sustainability and repairability, Replaceable pads/headband
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Travel friendliness
The detachable cable system is convenient for some because it locks, removes, and routes either way, but others dislike the proprietary or over-complicated design.
Pros: Software/setup simplicity, Weight comfort

The detachable cable was useful as a dead-battery backup, but wired listening was not treated as the best way to use the headphones.
Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Headband adjustability
Cons: Cable quality, Smart Pause performance
The detachable cable setup was considered less convenient because reviewers wanted a standard 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cable rather than the supplied nonstandard option.
Pros: Sound leakage, Battery
Cons: Sustainability and repairability, Auto on/off reliability
