Favorite Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones so much. They sound amazing, the ambient noise option is good if you're walking around outside so you're aware of any traffic or people nearby. I use the noise-canceling when I travel to block out any outside noise. Charges quickly and the battery lasts forever.

Stellar headphones for noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I needed a pair of noise cancelling headphones and these didn't disappoint. There are 3 noise cancelling settings, and I've found the off setting still drowns out enough noise. The max setting it boots with each time is wayyy too strong for my taste and it's a weird sensation having no noise at all thanks to the noise cancelling tech. Anyone who needs zero noise will definitely appreciate that though! The headphones themselves feel premium, and the case is wonderful! Very easy to take on trips. Audio itself is just good, but given all the features and quality of the headphones, that is fine with me in this case. I would recommend these to anyone looking for over-ear noise cancelling.

WH-100XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones! You can hear a lot of the detail. The balance between the vocals and bass is perfect. The Noise cancellation on the headphones is great. It doesn’t cancel out every single thing but other than that it is good. The app it comes with as well is leagues above the others.

The World Will Cease to Exist
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great depending on what you are listening to. I plugged it into my radio and at first the sound kept cutting off and on but once I was settled in my chair, it was great. When I plug it into my MP3 player and start exercising, there is occasional static. But there is nothing happening to make me want to return them. Once I get into the music, I don't notice any imperfections. They will make you forget the world exist around you. The noise cancellation is awesome! I purchased these so I could listen to music as my family watched TV. I was in my chair waiting for my sister to cook breakfast. I kept looking at my watch because it was taking so long. Finally I went into the kitchen and my food was on the table. I asked my sister why she didn't call me and she angerly stated she called me four times and I ignored her. I had to explain I had my "Noise Canceling" headphones on so I literally couldn't hear her. :o) It was AWESOME!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are quite comfortable. Have not yet tried them on an airplane, but should be nice and quiet. Sound is very good. Can do a number of things; I have yet to learn them all, but they appear to be quite logical. Worthwhile purchase for traveling.
