The best I've ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never owned great headphones, until now! The sound is amazing, but the noise canceling is what makes this headphones GREAT! I highly recommend this, especially for students. When I study, I put this on and I can't hear a thing, not even when the air conditioner kicks on.

Awesome mid range $ headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Powerbeats pro which I was blown away with, these are even better! I suggest looking up some good eq settings for the app though, they don’t come out of the box that impressive.

Best noise.cancellation I’ve seen (heard)
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal noise canceling, especially on constant background noise like jet engines in flight. Sony includes a decent case, headphone cable, and airline adapter for that as well. But even in everyday life they sound great and block a ton of unwanted noise.

Favorite pair ever!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to own the M3 pair. These are much more comfortable and they have a few more perks than the M3. You can set it up so that the music stops when you start talking and then starts playing your music when you stop talking. Love it.

Best noise-cancelling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I turn them on and the world is GONE! They are very easy to use, and their functionality is completely intuitive. The phone app is also intuitive and easy to use. They're spendy, but they're worth every penny.

Great set of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. Overall the headphones are fantastic. The Sennheiser Momentum 3s do have more bass without any EQ, but the comfort and noise cancelling are superior. With the sale due to the holidays, no regrets with this purchase.
