Wish they were smaller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really loved the sound on these. Bought them for the primary purpose of enjoying my music more but fell in love with the ANC. The connection to 2 devices was really nice too. Wanted to keep them but they were unfortunately a little too big and would slip off my head if I tilted my head forward/backward or tried to work out

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound, especially once you tune it in the app. Wired mode for low latency is great, and I can confirm there's no weird behavior with the Bluetooth when using it with Fedora 35 workstation (apart from my poor bluetooth antenna causing some stuttering here and there.) I can't say the same for Ubuntu 21.04 however; my laptop eventually got stuck connecting to the headset profile. Turning on multiple device connectivity using the app fixed this, but be aware it also disables LDAC. Noise canceling is outstanding, and once you get a little music going the outside world just disappears. The headphones' band does start to hurt after a while, and being closed back headphones your ears can get hot. I readjust it every so often.
