Great headphones, Some quirks, A bit overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big fan of the sound. 360 audio is amazing. You can really hear the surround sound. A few cons... I don't like the case at all. I think it's difficult to fold up the headset to fit inside the case. These headphones ARE NOT for working out. Battery life isn't 30 hours when you're blasting music (makes sense) but is still pretty long. Overall, if the price was maybe ~$50-75 cheaper., I'd be very happy and give it 5 stars.

Nice sound but not loud enough!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is crisp and the noise cancelling is excellent. But I’m very disappointed in the volume maximum of the product. It truly is not loud enough for my satisfaction. Very disappointed that a $324 pair of headphones is not loud enough for my liking! I owned a Beats pair and they were so much better!

WOW
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ANC in the game right now, took these on a flight and wow! They’re just great over all headphones, only thing for me is that the bass isn’t too heavy, so if you’re a bass head, maybe these arent for you, but great for all music genres & even for watching movies

It's just you and tinnitus!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these for my son as he is most productive when the sounds of others fall silent. He's become a full time work-from-home engineer and said good bye to communal cubicles. But even at home this unit has delivered! Definitely recommend them.
