It's heavy but not unheard of; my headphones weigh 14.8 oz and some of the heaviest I know of are something like 1.3 lbs!

Still though, I think this is just a case of Apple making them heavier purely for a premium feel.

Did those headphones have a band over the top?

Can you name the models? I'd be curious to know.

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).
