Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most of my Sennheiser product knowledge is predicated on my experiences with their professional broadcast audio equipment. Knowing they are a leader in that field, I was eager to try their commercial noise cancelling headphones. The MOMENTUM 3 lived up to my expectations...for the most part. Features - These headphones have some nifty tech features including auto on/off by simply "folding" (or unfolding) the headphones together. They also have a "smart pause" feature that will auto pause/play based on a magical sensor somewhere that determines whether or not the headphones are over your ears. - Sennheiser chose to stay with tactile buttons to control volume, skipping, ANC, etc. rather than the "touch sensors" that many other high end, designer headphone manufacturers are moving to. Personally, I prefer the touchpad concept over buttons. Nonetheless, the buttons are simple to locate/manipulate and the commands (volume, skip, hang up, etc.) are easy to remember. - One of the cooler features, in my opinion, is the TILE integration so you can find these headphones if you misplaced them. - Voice assistance is offered and worked just fine with Google Assistant, however, when I paired them with my laptop and streamed Google Music, Cortana was the default assistant and could not complete vocal commands like "play next." Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - The ANC in these is very good. Not many of us have the option to truly test all the high end brand ANC headphones but I have used 4 other ANC headphones (including one set of in-ear buds) and while everyone argues between Bose and Sony for the "best ANC" these headphones offer better than average noise cancellation. - ANC options include an easy toggle switch for ANC OFF, ANC ON, and a toggle between "amplified ambient noise" and noise cancelling--essentially auto-pausing your music and letting you hear everything around you crystal clear and loudly without the need to actually take the headphones off. - With some ANC headphones, toggling noise cancellation on/off will impact audio quality. Not an issue with Sennheiser. I noticed very little if any change in audio quality between ANC on and ANC off. - On the day my headphones arrived there were Bobcats outside of my ground floor office working on a landscaping project that involved dumping/raking rocks outside my window for about 30 minutes. With ANC on and music at an average level, I hardly knew the landscapers were there. I also never heard the office phone ring :-) Design - Discreet, easy to use/remember tactile button controls on the right muff. USB-C connectivity/charging plus a mini cord for wired connectivity. The headphones come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter for charging if you don't have a USB-C charger. - The look of the headphones is "old school" with a durable metal bad mounted to the outside of each can. This "retro" look makes the headphones look a bit larger than normal on my bald head. - The cans have a very deep, soft, leather cushion. The band over the head is well cushioned and comfortable as well. - It is worth noting that the quality materials/construction adds some weight compared to "all plastic" headphones of the same size. They fit me very well and I have not had issues with the headphones slipping or my ears getting too warm. Audio Quality Here's where it call comes together... - The audio quality is very good with these headphones. My only complaint is that, compared to other comparable brands at this price point, the audio sounds "distant" rather than "front facing." As a result, I think Sennheiser inadvertently created a "muddy, behind you" sensation when listening to music. Audio is full and rich, but not super tight and crisp. Again, the auditory quality is very good and balanced (you get the bass, you get the midrange, you get the treble) but when comparing them side-by-side to other headphones, I found the sound sensation to feel like the sound was behind me rather than in front of me. - When used for calls and video conferencing, my audience sounded great, however, they said that I was a bit hollow (as if I were in a public restroom). - My test music included modern rock, modern alt, 90s hip hop, 80s rap, grunge and metal. With the default EQ, no one style sounded better than the other yet I found myself wanting to tweak the settings for each style. Fortunately there is an app for that...unfortunately that app is a bit lacking. App - The app is average at best. It has an EQ feature that is less than spectacular. I cannot manually set the EQ where I want it--where I set it for ALL my audio devices (home stereo, car, soundbars, etc.)--because they use a "curve slider" rather than just letting us adjust the low, mid, high manually. Again, while the overall audio quality of these is good, a better EQ could make these headphones sound GREAT. - The app also let's you control ANC settings that include MAX, ANTI-WIND and ANTI-PRESSURE (eliminates that "pressure in the ear" or "underwater" feeling some get with ANC). The app will also let you turn on "transparent hearing" which essential means whether or not you want to hear street noise while listening to music. Other This is the first pair of bluetooth headphones I have owned that "multi-paired" to devices. I use these in the office and paired them with my laptop to stream music. I also paired them with my mobile phone. Occasionally the headphones would cut out which I thought was a quality issue. It turns out, they were cutting out whenever I touched my phone. At first I thought this was cool--the headphones were smart enough to know which device to switch to automatically. However, it became a nuisance because of how frequently I touch my phone to read a text or acknowledge a message. Nonetheless, I am not sure if this is an intended "feature" or just "smart technology" but this knowledge may be useful for some. Overall Overall I would recommend these headphones because the design quality and tech features. The audio quality and ANC is very good. If you are a sound tweaker, however, you may find these headphones to be a bit limited as you struggle to dial them in to your preference.

I was not sure, so I purchased this headphone together with the Sony WH-1000XM4. I tested both for a week and I decided to return the Sony. Why? Don't get me wrong. The Sony WH-1000XM4 is a very well made headphone, extremely light and comfortable with the best ANC I ever heard. These features make the Sony perfect for frequent travelers and commuters. If you are one of those, the Sony is perfect. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 are heavier and the ANC is good, but nothing special. They are very comfortable, though, and the materials are premium with real leather and steel. What is left to compare now is only one element, the sound quality. Here the story is very different. Sony pushed a lot on features at the price of the sound quality. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 are at a completely different level: base are powerful, but well controlled, with very deep extension that directly reach your heart. Sound stage is wide (of course for a closed-back headphone) and clarity is great, with very precise instrument separation. Listening Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York (CD) was a sublime experience, the one that excites and makes you smile. Cobain's guitar sound was natural and organic. Krist Novoselic's bass were present and precise. In some moments I had the impression of being there in front of the stage. This has been the first headphone that I can listen for hours and hours without any fatiguing. And when you take them off you wonder: what can I listen to now? Great job Sennheiser.

I've been on the hunt for the best pair of headphones that suits my liking for about 6 months now. I'm by no means an audiophile but I like my music to sound amazing. I like bass and I want to actually feel the bass and not just hear it. These cans do the trick! The audio quality is exactly what I'm looking for! I have the Sony 1000xm3, Bose 700, and Nuraphones. The XM3 sound quality is good but not what I was expecting. The Soundstage isn't great and feels dark. The bass on them is decent but gets muddy especially with ANC on. The sound quality is definitely better than the Bose headphones by a long shot. It's a toss up on sound quality with the Nuraphones because the bass is definitely there and so is the audio quality but the Sennheisers are definitely more comfortable. The ANC on the Momentum 3 is decent. It has three levels of noise cancelation and will work for most people.. Sony definitely is the winner in this category followed by Bose. The build quality is amazing and are comfortable for a long amount of time despite being heavier than the Sony and Bose headphones. Only real thing I don't like on these headphones is the physical buttons on the right ear cup. Touch controls like Sony and Bose would make these better. If your looking at decent ANC headphones and prefer sound quality over superb noise cancelation, these are the cans for you!

It's Sennheiser. I don't have to really speak too much about the quality of the audio. Its superb. High clarity with very deep tone bass. Bass is emphasized but doesn't overpower the mids and treble. What makes this headset great, is the two connection bluetooth. I have this paired and connected to both my pc and phone at the same time. Never had an issue with disconnections, and it seamlessly transfers when there is a call. The ambient mode is amazing. Not the clearest. However, when using a mic, it helps a ton. ANC is above average and works well. Settings from the app are saved on the device btw for those that are wondering. That plus the usb c charging and decent battery life gives this a top notch review. BTW the leather? Feels awesome!

I asked for these headphones because I was familiar with the brand for over a decade and had an old battery operated pair of hardwired noise cancelling earphones that I absolutely loved. I received these, and was not to impressed with the case and the way to carry them around. I think the case would be pretty bulky in my purse or a small bag on the plane. I will have to look and see if they have a more streamlined case to buy for them. I was also not impressed with the way to adjust the earcups.. slide them up and down on a piece of metal, but when I put them on, you did not notice them and they were so comfortable, that I forgot all together. The earcups were perfect for my ears, they covered them completely and were so soft. Loved the feel. I paired them very easily with our new computer to listen to Pandora over the computer and the sound was amazing! I really liked that there were big buttons on the side of one of the earphones for control. Volume up and down, pause, play, etc. Very convenient. Again, I was not disappointed in this brand! I still think they are one of the best out there for sound. I would recommend these any day of the week! Such a great buy!

Now if you read my review of the JBL headphones, yes I am picky on sound quality, if you want sound quality, adjustable speaker pods and some of the best noise cancellation GET THESE. I am listening to them writing this review. These have the best sound quality of ANY blutooth device I have ever heard especially headphones and thier dynamic range is perfect. They can be a bit bass or mids heavy on phones or tablets but get their app and they have what they call sound check and it lets you go through like 4 or 5 different stages and pick from 3 different sound settings and find the one you like. I will say use music you listen to alot when doing this so you know how it is supposed to sound, but it makes the EQ great. they also have what they call high end sound tuning in the EQ if you turn that on it disables sound check but it dynamically adjusts the bass and mids and does a good job. these also work good for work from home as i did with them for 2 years and work great with computers. It can also do 2 device connections at a time. I will say disable the one not using if you are hooked to a phone and expecting an important call as I have had it hang up tying to switch to that device but it otherwise works pretty well. but these have AMAZING SOUND QUALITY, not to mention 17 hour battery life with right settings and at midish volume it can really go that long max volume and max noise cancling or ambient hearing on its more like 8-12 which is still awesome, even 2+ years later

Incredible sound. Good noise cancelling. Long lasting charge. Comfortable ear phones. Pinch points at hinges. Already cut myself opening this unit. I've had Bose quiet comfort. Beats by Dr. Dre. And now I have these. These are the most comfortable, best made headphones I've experienced. Should have an OSHA warning attached.

The funny thing is I discovered these by accident during my research phase on the well lauded WH-1000XM4's to replace the earbuds that have been physically maiming my ear parts. While I myself steer towards Beyerdynamics as a brand I've always wanted to get my ears in some Sennheisers and finding the Momentum 3 on Best Buys online listing (on sale no less) was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. The Sennheiser's leatherette covered metal frames with physical buttons and switches blow the Sony away in appearance and feel alone for a traditionalist like myself. They are also currently being made in (East) Europe opposed to South East Asia for those curious. Their superb sound quality is usually what everyone agrees on is the pillar that allows the Senns to hold its own against the Sony's superior noise cancelling, battery life, fancy touch controls and weight...which I will also agree with as a little EQ tweak through their relatively basic App puts them at the heels of my DAC/AMP enchanced Beyerdynamics, except they are wireless which is wonderful for my TV. I have no experience using these for calls but I hear they are competent from many sources. The included 3.5 jack and type-C to C cable (with type-A adapter) allow for all combinations with a modern phone and computer even allowing you to charge and listen like a traditional headset with the most stable connection possible via the type-C. If you want the latest and greatest the XM4 will be the more practical choice but if you need something more refined and robust, the Momentum 3 will serve you well. Whatever you chose, listen on and be safe. (A little PSA for these headphones: DO watch out for the hinges when opening- less you risk getting bit in the webs of your hands.)

I wanted a headphone set that sounds fantastic for some music, but mainly watching movies via bluetooth on my tv in my bedroom at night. These are it. I don't work out with these. I don't need them when I work because I usually wear one earbud at work so I can hear people talking to me. These sound superb! I've tried the Sony XM5 and Momentum 4. XM5 sound is a bit muddy in the bass where as these have a more focused clear bass. The sound on the XM5 is more closed and vertical while the Momentums are widely spaced, like you're in a big room. Both Momentum 3 and 4 sound the same but I think the fit of the 3's ear cups being big does affect the perceived accoustics. The 3 has big ear cups that cover but doesn't touch my ears. The 4 ear cups though very plush, soft, and comfortable, are smaller in diameter so they sort of rest on part of my ears. Initially they feel good, but after 10 minutes, they start to feel warmer by the minute. This could be just me, because my ears are very sensitive to the feel of headphones and even earbuds. The feeling of the 4's ear cups resting on my ears are like having leather pillows pressed on my ears. This causes the sense that the sound is slightly less open than it does on the Momentum 3. The sound is truly amazing. People complain about the push buttons being small. I agree but you can get used to anything after using it for a while. For my use in watching movies, I don't press those buttons much. I use my tv remote to control the volume. These connect very fast to my Sony tv and my phone and tablet. The noise canceling works well and also the transparency function. No complaints. Battery is 17 hours but I use it 2-3 hours a day.

These cans sound good. They have a slightly aggressive sound stage. Nice bass response but not overdone. Highs and mids hit just right. So why 4 stars? The NC is a little weak. It can drown out consistant droning sounds but sudden sharp sounds sometimes sneak past the NC mics. Also the call quality is not as crisp as anything Bose offers. The people I speak to always say I sound far away. If your using this just for music or maybe gaming they're good but theres better. If you can find these at $200 they're a good buy. Wont go above that.

Picked these up a week ago, so my experience and the log term durability is unknown at this point. The sound quality is great, the build feels solid, the ear cups are nice fitting , snug and somewhat comfortable for a couple of hour or two listening sessions I've done with them. I do notice a little sweat buildup on the ear and ear-cup when I was outside, in the shaded patio in about 85 degree Fahrenheit. Sennheiser replacement ear cups seem to be out of stock or not available, hopefully they become available soon. The Bluetooth capabilities seems somewhat lacking. It only allows to store two devices being synced with the headset causing issues with using this headset on more than two devices. For example: I would like to use this headset with 4 devices, 1 phone, 1 laptop, and 2 desktop computers and the headset will not store all four of these syncs in its memory. So.... When I have it synced with two devices and want to use it on a third or fourth device, It removes one of the previous syncs to allow the next device. In my short time of owning these headsets, Its been a continious cycle of syncing bluetooth with devices depending on which device I want to use them with. Then on my computers I have to remove the old sync and create a new sync. This is somewhat frustrating. Also, it calls the devices Phones regardless of what they actually are. Phone 1 and Phone 2, that's it... I really hope Sennheiser can fix the Bluetooth capabilities and allow more than just 2 device syncs with a firmware update soon. The included mini jack cable is probably good for plugging into a device that would be kept in my pocket, or within close range, but it is just too short for use on a PC. It would be nice if they also included a 6 foot audio cable for this $400 unit. Pros: + Great sound quality + Noise Cancellation (ANC) is nice + Build quality + style + USB-C charging Cons: - Bluetooth onboard memory is limited to syncing with ONLY 2 devices, and they're both labeled as phones - short audio cable 3'. It would be nice if Sennheiser included a 6' cable for use on a PC while at a desk. - limited availability of replacement ear cup pads

I’d say the Bose NCH 700 is my current top pick for a noise cancelling headphone at this time. I’ve tried pretty much every other pair under sun and the Bose is the most well rounded. Price - Both are currently $399USD at the time of this review. Design - I prefer the looks of the Bose while on my head. It’s more streamlined and minimalistic. The Sennheiser’s look more elegant with the steel and leather materials off the head, however the exposed wiring looks kinda funky on the head from a front view (hence why none of the promo pics show the model wearing these headphones from a front view. They’re always looking towards the side.) Also, the Momentum’s looks bigger on my head which is never a good thing when outside. Both are built well with no worries that one will break easily from normal usage. The Momentum’s takes the slight edge here with authentic leather on the ear-pads and headband. The Bose can fold flat which results in a much smaller profile when stowed away in its hard carrying case. The Sennheiser’s can also fold, but not flat. The carrying case is about twice the thickness of the Bose and it’s not a hard material so your headphones face a higher chance of crush damage while being in your bag. Controls - Bose went touch controls while Sennheiser retained the tried and true button configuration. Both headphones allow controls of your volume, play and pause media and call accept and hang up and hold. Both thankfully have a dedicated voice assistant button however the Bose allows for always on and listening Alexa. Both can toggle between ANC modes, but the Bose allows for 3 ANC presets switching while the Sennheiser’s allow for only ANC on or off and ambient mode. The Bose surprisingly doesn’t allow you to turn off the ANC from the headphone and you have to do that from the app. The touch controls on the Bose is pretty responsive and I don’t really have issues with it. The button controls on the Sennheiser’s is tactile and works as should. So it really depends if you prefer buttons or touch controls here. Comfort - I prefer the Bose slightly here. It’s lighter and just hugs my head with enough pressure to not fall off with any sudden head movements. The ear-pads opening is generous and allows my ears to go in all the way and not be clamped down. The Sennheiser’s is quite comfortable but they’re heavier and clamp a little harder on my head. I can wear both for 2 hours straight but the Bose just leaves my headphone not feeling as fatigued. Battery Life - Bose takes the cake here. Longer 20 hour battery vs. the Sennheiser’s 17 hours. Also, from a quick charge the Bose can receive a longer charge at 3 hours vs the Sennheiser’s 1.5 hours. Both charge via USB-C. Bluetooth - Sennheiser’s take the cake here in terms of codec support. NFC support is on the Sennheiser’s but not the Bose. They also support AptX-LL which is great for those who might want to play video games if they have a AptX-LL equipped receiver. Both support AAC and SBC, but the Bose does not support AptX. Connectivity and range has been pretty great on both and haven’t had any crazy issues while using both on the bus, subway, walking through NYC, at the office and at home. Both support 2 device connections. I prefer the Bose implementation because it switches between devices more seamlessly and the voice prompts tells you the name of the device it is connected to. The Sennheiser’s voice prompt just says “phone 1” or “phone 2” which isn’t really helpful if you have a desk with a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and iPhone XS Max on it. Both can conveniently be put into pairing mode from one of the buttons on the control side of the headphone’s ear-cups. Call quality - Bose is still number 1 here. Callers continue to tell me they can hear my clearly despite me being right next to a bus engine on my commute to work. Meanwhile on the Sennheiser’s, callers said they can hear the bus engine and I need to speaker up louder in the same environment, but they can still hear me unlike the Sony WH1000Xm3 which is completely horrible in these situations. If you’re in a quiet to moderately loud environment, they’re both gonna do well. The Bose just sets itself apart in noisy environments due to the excellent microphone array and the ability to cancel our background noises. Both have a convenient feature to mute your microphone while on the call using the voice control button on the Bose and the volume down button on the Sennheiser’s. Features - Both do the basics for a 2019 premium ANC headphones. Bose has significantly more control over its ANC system (albeit a bit overkill). Also, there’s a preset button to toggle between 3 saved ANC presets leveraging on the fly adaptation to your environment. Sennheiser’s approach is to either have it on max or on with wind reduction mode or lower cabin pressure, off or transparency/ambient mode with the ability to have audio play as well or not. The ambient mode is slightly superior on the Bose. Simply sounds like I don’t have headphones on and every natural. The Sennheiser’s sound slightly digital but very good nonetheless. As for noise cancelling, Bose is easily superior. With the Sennheiser’s, I can still hear a decent amount of what’s going on around me while I’m commuting or walking through the city. With the Bose, the world literally melts away when the noise canceling is engaged and I can faintly hear what’s going on around me. When music is playing for the most part they will both block out everything around you typical in a commuting situation unless you listen at low volumes or there’s a quiet passage in the music, then the Sennheiser’s weaker ANC will cause loud outside noise to seep in. Sound - I enjoy listening to both. The device I used is my MacBook Pro streaming AptX to the Sennheiser’s and AAC to the Bose. The Sennheiser’s is the more bass heavy, richer and warmer sounding of the two. The Bose is very balanced and neutral to my ears. Very high levels of clarity and detail can be heard on both sets, but the Bose slightly edges the Sennheiser’s in immediate detail and clarity due to the more neutral frequency response. Soundstage is superior on the Sennheiser’s. Everything just has this multidimensional and spacious presentation. The music sounds more like a live performance as opposed to listening in a studio like on the Bose. The separation of the instruments within the music is slightly better on the Bose due to the more neutral frequency response allowing subtle nuances in the mix to be more distinct. This aides in the ability to replicate a more convincing sense of space between the sounds in which the Bose excels over the Sennheiser in this regard. The Sennheiser’s bass can sometimes come off a bit too boomy and mask the subtle nuances in the mix. But this is rare and it’s quite a feat despite the amount of bass emphasis here. It’s a healthy bass boost but it is centered in the sub-bass which mitigates bass bleed into the midrange. The Sony WH1000Xm3 in comparison has a bass boost mostly in the upper and mid bass which blooms over into the mids and makes them sound boomy overall. Overall the Sennheiser is a warm and rich sounding headphone with great levels of clarity and detail. The Bose is a balanced and neutral sounding headphone with a slightly favoritism towards the warm side of the spectrum and excellent levels of detail and clarity. The Sennheiser’s get louder than the Bose and don’t distort at max volume which is a plus if you like to listen at those volumes. The Bose at max volume can distort on some tracks. I personally listen to at most 80% so max volume performance isn’t important to me. Also, no, I don’t believe in burn-in (If you’re getting ready to say I didn’t have the Sennheiser’s long enough). I’ve listened to brand new headphones and a highly used one of the same model and they sound and measure the exact same. Conclusion - The Sennheiser’s have a special spot in my collection even though It performs worse overall in ANC performance, isn’t as comfortable to my head, has a worse overall battery performance, looks elegant but a bit uglier in my opinion than the streamlined Bose, doesn’t perform as well for calls, has less overall controllability from the headphone than the Bose, and it’s bulkier to carry around due to the much larger case that provides less protection than the Bose. Why? Because despite all that it still does the essentials required from a modern day 2019 pair of ANC wireless headphones all while packing the one of, if not the best sound experience in this category to my ears. It's a really close call between it and the Bose. Great job Sennheiser. You managed to incorporate a better microphone for voice pickup and 2 device Bluetooth connectivity (something the Sony WH1000Xm3 couldn’t do), decent, controllable ANC with ambient modes and good comfort alongside your signature sound. Color me impressed!

The sound quality is simply magical. It kills Bose in range, especially bass. I like how they turn on and off. The battery life is a little less than my prior bose, but it’s still very good. I HATE that they automatically pick up phone calls. I would give them 5 stars if it wasn’t for that feature and that they disconnect on rare occasions. The sound is just amazing!!it’s so crisp and pure.

These headphones are expensive, but the Sennheiser quality is always worth the extra money. These replaced my Sennheiser Momentum 2, which I also loved but could have connectivity issues when walking around NYC. Bluetooth 5 on these new Sennheisers has alleviated all connectivity issues I had with the previous generation with the same great sound and build. I use them both wired, through a DAC at work, and wireless when in transit. They fit better than the M2's as well, wearing glasses used to be a tad uncomfortable with the previous generation but I've had no issues with this. I did turn off the auto play/auto off functionality of the headphones as I found it to be a little buggy at times. I would open the headphones to turn them on and music/podcasts would start playing out loud on my iPhone first before starting to play through the headphones. The headphones at times would also seem to think I had taken them off by shutting off completely depending on how my head was positioned. Hopefully these complaints can be fixed with a firmware update, but I also don't miss the auto play/auto off functionality and without it the headphones are perfect.

Expensive, but WOW, the quality of these headphones is unbelievable! The headphones fit well on your head, and the Bluetooth works very well. These headphones produce sounds often not heard by your other everyday headphones: great noise cancellation and adaptive noise reduction. Strong battery life.

awesome sound detail, very comfortable ( i have large ears and wear glasses ) so that is a very big plus. battery life very good and you can listen to them while they are charging. auto pause, bluetooth all these features work perfectly. what more could i ask for? Best buy price matched so i saved $150.

The overall sound is 100% better than Bose. The richness in the tones is clearer than any other. It was a tough choice and hard not to go back to Bose mainly because the quality of the calls made suck. But my ultimate choice for headphones is sound. The sheepskin is much more comfortable and can wear them longer without sweating. Durability is questionable and NO Best Buy does not offer extended warranty so buyer be ware. I haven’t experienced any issues yet. The carrying case is cloth so they won’t be tucked away in your purse or briefcase.

The surprising thing coming from a pair of wireless headphones is the depth and fidelity of the sound. They are Sennheiser, so that's to be expected to some point, but it can't be overstated. They are amazing, comfortable, and lightweight. If they are on sale, buy them, enjoy them, love them.

Loved almost everything about these headphones. Sound quality was perfect, extremely comfortable, and battery life was great. The ‘feature’ where it pauses when the headset is removed. It’s great when you’re actually removing the headphones. The issue is that sometimes when you move your head, it pauses. Doesn’t happen all the time but often enough to be incredibly annoying and at this price point, you shouldn’t be annoyed by anything about the product. They went back and I’ll keep looking, it’s really too bad because the sound quality was awesome.

I own several headsets. Some I evaluate for my job, some I try out for myself. This is the first pair of Sennheiser headphones I've owned. Pros: - The sound quality is impeccable. I mean, it's just superb. Full, deep, excellent tone. These might be the best sounding headphones I've owned. - Noise reduction works very well. Some ANR reacts strangely when input noise varies a lot (like when you use a weed eater). These were smooth and consistent. - Battery life is outstanding. USB C charging is fast. - Bluetooth range is very good, and they recover well if you wander out of it accidentally. - I didn't have the fit issues many reviews complain about, I think these are pretty comfy. Cons: Unfortunately, everything you can't write on a spec sheet is at best mediocre with this product. - If you have paired to more than one device, there's no way to force a specific device to be active. For me, it means I can be listening to music on my phone, and suddenly hear the tv when someone else turns it on. Sometimes you can switch it back, sometimes you have to power cycle the headset. It's a major pain. - The headset automatically pauses whatever your listening to if you take them off. And if you lay too far down. It's a neat feature, but can get in the way easily. To a lesser extent, the power "button" is engaged when you fold the headset up, which also can be...awkward? - The microphone ONLY works in Bluetooth mode. This almost made me return these, I was really disappointed that you couldn't use the mic with USB or analog cord mode. - The app is more or less useless. Overall, I love the sound on these things, but the shortcomings make it a hard sell at this price point.
