Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you first get them, they take 3 hours to charge. It is nice that there is a voice that says whether they are on or off if you don't want to look at the code of lights blinking at you. They are definitely grey. Silver to me implies some level of metallic color. They are just a matte grey. I got these cancel out bass music and domestic disputes from my obnoxious neighbors. They do a really great job doing that. There is a point at which they no longer cancel out the bass noise by merely being on without any additional audio being piped in. The case they come in is nice and hardy. Bluetooth pairing them with my phone was super easy. I would definitely buy these again. Would that they just came in more interesting colors than black and grey.

Great sound and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and battery life seems good even after over a year of daily use. Wish I would have gone up to next model where you can connect to 2 Bluetooth and switch between. Only complaints are that when charging and using 3.5mm jack there is some feedback, and the rest pieces didn't allow much breathing for long use.

Awesome so far!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive only had these headphones for about two weeks, but I use them every day! I really like them— theyre comfortable, light, and have cool features. I downloaded the app that they recommended, and with that the headphones basically track my movement and adjust the noise cancellation accordingly. I think that is really neat!! The sound quality and the volumes are also really good. Also, I wish I paid attention more but these are NOT water resistant. Makes me nervous to wear them in the rain, but have been able to avoid that anyway!

A True Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the best ANC I've ever used. Clean sound, a lot of modification options using the app, and great battery life. Great that the charging cable and a 3.5mm come in the carrying case. Only complaint so far is they can trap heat on my ears.

Amazing noise canceling and comfort
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great at minimizing noise. I live where there is a lot of construction going on, traffic, and barking dogs. I put these on an instantly it cancels most of the noise, and once I put the music on I can only hear what I put on. They let you connect to two devices at a time, as long as you aren’t using the aux. They will turn themselves off if no music is playing long enough, unless the aux cable is connected. They are really good quality headphones, and the noise canceling is better than I expected. They feel amazing and I can wear them a few hours before they start to feel heavy. The sound quality is also top notch. The main problems are that sometimes it’s difficult to connect to certain Bluetooth devices, and the other problem is the battery will keep draining if you leave the aux cable in. In my opinion the free trial to the service they offer is not worth it, and it was a little difficult cancelling the service, I do not recommend the 3D sound stuff, it doesn’t make much a difference anyway and it’s only a couple hundred songs that offer it.
