One of the best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are one of the best earbuds if not the best for noise counseling... the sound quality is great too...my only problem is if you move your head too fast it gives like a distortion sound when listening to music. That to me is a little irritating... but other than that these are superb earbuds if you can look past that problem

RANDOM CONNECTION
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the XM4’s and my headphones would randomly connect to my phone at times which was annoying. I got these because I loved the noise canceling on the 4’s and was looking forward to the upgrades and smaller design. These headphones sound great but I give 2 stars because they won’t stop connecting to my phone when I’m not using them. They’re in my backpack in another room and they connect to my phone. They’ll be in my pocket (in the case of course) and they’ll connect to my phone. It is so annoying that I really just want to get a different pair of headphones. I’m at the point where I don’t care how good they are, they won’t stop pairing when they’re in the case. The XM4’s have done it a handful of times but these. ALL THE TIME!!!! I am so frustrated with these.
