The main benefit of their wireless headphones is the relative ease of switching devices if you're using multiple Apple devices. Use an iPhone, iPad, and Mac? They'll switch (somewhat intelligently) between devices. I'm listening to music on my computer, get a call on my phone and answer it (which I could technically also answer on the computer), it'll pause the music and switch the headphones to the phone to use with the call. When the call ends, I manually resume the music on the computer and the headphones switch back. Listening to an audiobook on my phone, and I switch to the iPad for a video it pauses the audiobook and switches the connection to the iPad. When I start up the audiobook it does the same in reverse.

The quality seems to be on par with many other wireless headphones I've used over the years, but I'm no audiophile.

Using other headphones, though, aren't that big of a hassle. But you do have to manually switch which device they're connected to (a two or three step process depending on device).
