Best headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that i can connect to my work laptop and phone at the same time, and they seemlessly go back and forth between devices without me having to touch anything. I have had them about a month now, and they have been amazing on charge as well as sound quality. I would say I get 100% noise cancelling in the office and about 95% on the plane. So for me they are once again great.

Best headphones I've ever owned!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best headphones I've owned and I've had the CH700s(I think thats the right line), XB900s, Anker Space 45s and then these, and these are the best when it comes to noise cancelling and sound quality. I will say that the XBs are definitely better when it comes to bass but that's the point of the XBs (Xtra Bass). I am not disappointed with these headphones!

Absolutely Superb
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I was debating between these and the Bose QC45s. After scouring the internet reading reviews, I decided on these because of the ANC, the looks, and the touch capabilities. I have not been disappointed. I love the design, the feel, and all the bells and whistles. The app on the phone also offers way more control than the Bose app. You will not regret buying these over the Bose until Bose releases their next model.

Great pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have one of sonys first Generation over the ear headphones and hate them. They are heavy ugly and pinch my head. I could tell right away when I picked these up for the first time they would not be any of the things I hated about my last pair. They are light, good looking and don't hurt to wear for hours. Noise canceling is best ive ever had and the sound quality is great. I usually dont think anything that costs this much is worth the money but I didnt regret spending a cent on these love em

Would buy again in a heart beat.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. I tried multiple top tier brands and this was by far the most comfortable over the ear. The sound quality is clear, which I found was not the case in some of the other brands. The noise canceling is way above my expectations, it cuts out everything with the exception of really loud noises close to you. There are alot of features that i could go on about. They are pricey but definitely worth the cost if the cost alone is not the deciding factor.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is phenomenal. I only use them to watch my Samsung tv. The actors so often mumble; now I can understand them. The only problem I have is I keep getting crackling interference so I have to shut the system off and start over. I have shut down all Bluetooth devices but it didn’t change anything. They are also very comfortable; I don’t feel them on my ears or head. The noise canceling works beautifully.

Tolerate thy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love my headphones. The noise cancelling is simple to use just set up the app, and your'e ready. I barely hear when my neighbor is vacuuming their uncarpeted floor. The connectivity is a little spotty over bluetooth but the jack works well with things like a Roku remote. Loved that I got them on sale. Didn't much care for the free Pandora.

Comfy sound boosting headphones
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable to wear and noise cancelling works exceptionally. These are my favorite headphones I've ever purchased to date. The only negative i have is that they slip off head while working out in different positions other than sitting/standing up straight. Other than that, no complaints!

bought for college daughter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter said she was going to go deaf trying to tune out students with her earbuds. She likes to study in the campus center and that is where it is loudest. She said she had the music all the way up and still couldn't hear. She is so Happy with her headphones now. She wears them around her neck all the time I guess its now part of her aesthetic. I like it better because when I call her I can actually hear what she is saying. I couldn't hear the background noise like I had in the past. I love the part when I go to speak to her when she is wearing her headphones because the moment she starts talking the music stops. Now I know for sure she is listening! Definitely a win for me for anyone who has been ignored by a game playing child. The battery life is nice as well and she normally charges when she sleeps for the next day but they don't need to be. If she forgets they are still good for the next day. She loves the sound and music is her life so definitely worth the money to see her happy.
