Great purchase, quality noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality headphones, these have better bluetooth range than the Bose QC 35ii, which is why I got them. The sound quality is on par with Bose headphones, although the 2 headphones have different sound profiles. If the noise cancellation gives you headaches, try returning them for a different piece, as I had a similar issue with the one I first purchased.

Well worth the money!

The noise cancelling easily handles busy traffic or loud noise. The bluetooth hissing found on all bluetooth headphones is minimal. Nothing will ever beat wired headphones, but these manage to matchup incredibly well.

Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very great sound quality. First nice pair of headphones I've owned, so i can't compare, but the noise canceling works really well. Sometimes the sides of my head hurt if i wear them and my glasses all day.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!
