But my favourite hack was a Sennheiser model which had foam inserts to dampen the sound. 555 - foam = 595

People compliment my Jabra’s voice quality otherwise I would’ve switched already.
However I tried to wear them one on a train commute and it was horrid. Walking around with them really isn’t fun precisely because of their weight.
Every head movement feels like hard work and the headphones don’t even feel stable on your head during any movement due to the weight.
So I end up owned two headphones (well, technically 3):
1. AirPod Max for focus time
2. Sennheiser earphones (in ear) for commuting / exercise workouts.
3. Sennheiser DJ cans for DJing, video streaming and other times when I need wired, zero latency, audio.
Much prefer lighter Sony or Bose top of line
Still though, I think this is just a case of Apple making them heavier purely for a premium feel.
I know my way around premium wireless headphones and I'd wager most of them within that price range are somewhere between 250 and 320 grams (like 8.8 oz to 11 oz).
