#2

At roughly 200 grams, the headphones feel exceptionally light and distribute their weight well. This is one of the most consistent comfort advantages.

At roughly 256–270 grams, the headphones feel light enough for extended use without seeming fragile. The weight is generally well judged.

Weight comfort split reviewers: some called the headset heavy, while others still found it light enough or manageable for long use.

Weight impressions were mixed: some testers called the headphones light in use, while others noticed the bulky 374-gram build during longer sessions. Comfort depends heavily on fit and activity.
