Save some time, just go w these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, completely customizable eq/settings via app, and above average/great noise cancelling. I've been through a few sets of headphones and I think I have finally found 'the pair'. I have tried/returned Sennheiser Momentum 3 (the best sound quality, but way over active cutting out/pausing due to 'headphone removed' functionality - even when they hadn't been removed); Bose QC45 (very thin sound profile, otherwise nice headphone); and these. The sound quality is comparable to the Sennheisers, the comfort and noise cancelling are comparable to the QC45. This set really is the best available at this price point - save some time, just go w these.

Probably the best noise ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion, these are the best wireless noise canceling headphones you can buy. They have very good range, a bit of a bass boost, but nothing too muddy. And the noise cancellation is superb.

upgrade over xm2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i already own the xm2's but was looking for a new pair because they started to hurt my ears. these have angled drivers so it stops the drivers from touching and pressing on your ears. these are way more comfortable b and the noise cancellation is slightly better, but the actually sound of the headphones are pretty much the same
