A trump can Interrupt your listening.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb headphones that enhance audio quality to amazing levels. Watching a movie in these things is a delight. My one peeve is they are super sensitive to external noise, meaning they will automatically pause and shut off if you so much as cough, sneeze or say hi to your pet. I farted watching Top Gun and it paused the whole movie.

New love
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My sister bought these a few months ago, and I became obsessed too! I usually buy the Apple Beats headphones, but these are so much better in every way— physically, functionally, and musically. Plus, the noise cancellation feature is absolutely OP. I got this headphone discounted and definitely worth the purchase. Only complaint is that the earmuffs are a little big, but I think it’s a small price to pay.

Perfect Feature Set
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first major headphone purchase in a while, and I do not regret it. I bought these to replace my Beats Studios from 2011 after they finally kicked the bucket and everything is a huge upgrade. The ANC, features in the app, auto pause, two devices at once, ambient sound when talking to anyone. I could go on an on but they aree perfect for my needs as a software developer working from home. I would recommend these to anyone as these are the best headphones I have ever owned.

Great headphones with Great Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I’m pleased with these headphones. I caught them on sale shortly before Christmas. I have tested them on several occasions around the house, and the noise cancellation works great. The true test will be on my next flight. I purchased them primarily for air travel so it will filter out engine noise and chatter. The speak-to-chat feature is kinda annoying when conducting a phone call, but thankfully it can be deactivated.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sounds great after using the in-app equalizer, though the reliance on the app is a negative for me. Also, the touch buttons are trash. Though this is made up for by the best in class noise cancellation.

Great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given as a gift and loved. These are the best noise cancelling headphones in my opinion. I have tried these and Bose and these are noticeably better, especially when traveling. They are fragile however so careful about dropping them.
