great quality sound. Look at xm3 also
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and features especially with the price drop. The only thing is its missing the aptx codecs from the xm3s. The earcup controls are very handy and the pause when you take off the cups are something that you never knew you liked so much unless you already had airpods.

Disappointed in how long they lasted
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is amazing and it blocks out bass music better than putting in ear plugs. HOWEVER, after a little less than 2 years they started to develop feedback from somewhere. When I put them on the desk and pick them back up I get what sounds like feed back from a mic being too close to a speaker so it's very ear piercing. I've tried unplugging them and plugging back in but that didn't fix it. So I just have to wait till they stop which they eventually do but until recently they never did it. And for the price I paid I would expect them to last at least 5 years or more before having issues. So I will NOT buy them again.

Amazing sound, connectivity issues with iPhone
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one the best sounding pair of headphones I've ever owned. All that being said, if you have an iPhone, let alone a few Apple products that you want to use these for, bear in mind that the toggling from one device to the other comes with a painstakingly annoyance. I am constantly having to turn my bluetooth settings on and off and re-pairing every time I am wanting to use my iPad instead of my iPhone for listening. This is ridiculous with a device of this price point. I can't recommend these for Apple users.
