Replacing MS surface headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are replacing my Microsoft surface 2 headphones. Both can connect to 2 devices at a time. I also loved the physical volume knob on the MS headphones. The MS headphones headband snapped due to being made of only plastic; also they cannot handle bass like these. These sound great and can handle bass. I’m careful with headphones but I’ve dropped them multiple times on a wood floor and they are good. They lose connection but it’s rare. Recommended

Sony noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value. Noise cancellation works perfectly; I can’t hear a person speaking right next to me. The sound is good, although it has plenty of adjustments, which I haven’t fully explored, yet. I use them when working out and I find them comfortable for extended use. When on sale, they are a great buy.

Excellent ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned in terms of checking all the "boxes" for my needs. The noise cancelling is incredible as so many others have stated and the sound quality, with a little tweaking, is also amazing. I have used these wireless and wired and both sound very very good to my ears. While wired gives you true Hi Res quality depending on the source, I was pleasantly surprised by the Bluetooth streaming sound quality as well. No drops and a nice crisp sound that can be tweaked in the app to the user's liking. Almost two months in and I am very satisfied with the headphones in terms of features, sound quality, and overall build.

The BEST headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had many pairs of over the ear headphones throughout the years, and NOTHING compares to these. (I don’t leave reviews for any product) they are comfortable, actually noise cancelling and just overall great quality. Ever since I bought them, I’ve been using them daily. Great for studying, I got them so could focus on writing my masters thesis. Highly recommend treating yourself with one of these!

Best of the current main stream headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is amazing and the sound quality is great. These are significantly better than the beats or Bose headphones. The USB C is also great. The touch controls aren't the best though.
