Recommend Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for these headphones. The sound and noise cancelling was good (comparable to Bose). The headphone controls are really difficult “touch” operated. The microphone cuts off the music even when you are not on a call which is very annoying.

Posted .Hi TheChief, while we are glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function, we regret that you're having an issue with the mic and headphone controls. This is definitely not the listening experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn you experience around.

Waste of Money
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these because of the aesthetics. I'm a fan of BEATS and I love how easy I can connect to different devices. The fact that I literally have to forget device in settings on these each time I want to connect to a different device is so inconvenient. I can't get rid of the ambient sound and they sound muffled at times. Now, there is absolutely no sound and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it back. I searched on YouTube how to factory reset, tried that, and nothing. I'm so upset that I wasted my money on these. $350 gone

Popping noise using Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everyone be careful when buying these headphones. They are for the most part good, there is a big issue that appears for a lot of users. When the noise cancellation is turned on the headphones will start making popping noises that get annoying. It’s a very widespread problem that many buyers report. Wish I would have known that before buying.

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good quality build. Not a headphone user so these didn’t quite work for me. Perfect bang for your buck. Little spotty connectivity wise with iPhone, but that’s just coming from an AirPod user.
