Would’ve kept if they were cheaper!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked these a lot, but definently overpriced. (I own expensive stuff I don’t mind spending money on quality). They feel easily breakable and not super comfortable on the ears. Sound quality pretty good in to comparison to Bose and beats. Noise cancellation is really awesome although I notice a high pitch sound that kind of makes the cancellation not as satisfactory.

Great ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound great to me, but the ANC is where they really shine. They outperform my old Beats Studio 3’s in ANC performance. It’s also nice being able to up load EQ settings into the headphone.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is great, audio adjustments are just perfect. pads are somewhat okay, wish it was a bit more comfy but i hardly use these only when I truly have enough time for some time to myself. It's worth the price for me :)
