Are these over-the-ear or on-ear headphones?

These headphones are over the ear and very comfortable in my opinion.

How did you verify it supports AAC? Than manual only lists SBC as supported.
Once connected to the headphones, under Bluetooth in my phone, I went into the Bluetooth options for the M1000ANC which is labeled as MP43453 and there's is an option for HD Audio. When you click that, it gives you the option for AAC for HD or SBC. When I have it to AAC, I went into my Developer Options and confirmed that my OnePlus phone is indeed using AAC and at 16 Bits with a sampling rate of 44.1 khz

They supports SBC and AAC. AAC is used for the HD portion of this headphone for higher data transfer rates. iPhones support both Codecs as does my Android OnePlus 8T.

Does this come with an app to set an EQ on the headphones? Or does it work with the Dirac software?

How solid do the hinges look? [ The previous model, 600ANC, seems to have had a problem with them. ]

How to tell whether or not Dirac Virtuo is engaged or not? When you power up the M1000ANC, does it start off with Dirac in the Off position or On? When I toggle the Dirac on/off, I definitely notice one position is louder, the other quieter, the quieter one may be delivering some spatial effects, reduces noise such as what you get from old (60s) recordings on tape and the frequency range might be a bit better... but I honestly don't notice a huge difference. It actually sounds pretty good both ways. But I'd like to know which one is Dirac.

How do you switch between paired devices? It only seems to want to connect to the most recently paired device.

Sound quality is the only thing falling short. :/
These are overall a good headphone, on paper it has amazing function/features. Unfortunately, the most important part falls a bit short; the sound quality. While these headphones are no slouch in comfort, ease of use, and BASS!!! the mid and highs dont match the quality of the headphone itsself. The deep bass is honestly surprising at its depth and clarity, but i have not heard a track so far that doesnt have a shrill high end to them. The feature for Dirac Virtuoso sounds like it would be such an awesome feature to have, but when you click that button, the quality in the entire sound stage is gone. It sounds like everything is compressed. However, I dont listen to spacial/360 audio tracks so maybe the upmixing has something to do with that. Overall i was dancing between 4 and 5 stars simply because the build and comfort of the headphones is fantastic, and for $80 (on sale) you cant go wrong, but it fell short in sound quality. Which is the purpose of a headphone.

Disappointing
Pairing is surprisingly quick & reliable. Comfort is not good; the headband is high quality metal but lacks adjustment for width so these feel like a vice on my noggin. Sound quality is far less than I would expect even at their on-sale price. That is possibly because the ear cups do not provide much help with passive isolation. Finally, the ANC is weak; it can cancel the sound of a ceiling fan, but from a box fan.

Monoprice M1000ANC Bluetooth Headphones with ANC and Dirac Virtuo
This is the most affordable Dirac Virtuo headset. I love listening with Dirac enabled. It is, as advertised, a step closer to listening via loudspeakers. In addition, it has made the title track from Trilogy by ELP album much easy to hear clearly: In standard headphone mode two keyboard lines are merged together, but when I use Dirac Virtuo suddenly the two keyboard lines are separated and easy to hear each as a separate line. Wow! Not every recording benefits this way from Dirac, but there are a few recordings where the digital signal processing by Dirac truly elevates the listening experience via these headphones.

Decent
The sound quality is decent, however when played through a mobile device, (i.e. phone) they simply don't get loud enough/lack of dynamic range. The spacial Dirac feature is nice, but nothing ground breaking. The build quality is decent, but not better than headphones at half the price. I don't think these are worth the asking price.

Great for music or movies.
May be disappointed with work conference call due to battery saving features.
Mainly purchased for work conference calls. Internal software disconnects and will let you know when it disconnects. I?m sure it?s that save power.
I?m giving it 4 stars because it should be able to get louder and and I don?t like things talking in my ear because I have enough voices in my mind.
Audio reproduction is excellent with full range and stereo representation
Listen to your favorite song or 2 from dark side of the moon and form your opinion.
Bluetooth setup was easy on multiple systems.
Overall these will be a backup headset primarily used for audio and video

Great budget ANC with minor flaws
These have a premium feel, similar to headphones 2 to 3 times it's price. Obviously the pouch instead of a case isn't great and I did not know that the touch controls are on the right earcup only. The only other thing I can think they could change is adding an audio queue when the dirac audio is activated. Perhaps in the future having app compatibility would be an amzing addition to what is a great set of headphones.

Good value
Happy with these on sound quality and battery life. Noise cancelling is subpar, the two settings are more noise suppression than cancellation, but it works for where I use them mostly (it's not that noisy of an environment). I gotta say I like the big R and L inside the headphones, never have to guess which way they are suppose to go on. Good purchase for Bluetooth headphones at 1/2 price of others if you don't need topflight noise cancellation or things like a study travel case.

First BT/ANC cans worth the money. And then some.
So much better than expected. Sound quality is far better than other BT/ANC cans I have tried out in the past (I'm looking at you $330+ name brands) at least with Dirac mode enabled. It give real honest to goodness sound stage amd image to the sound while flattening the sound profile a bit.
