Mixed
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and have good sound quality but they have this quirk where whenever I make any noise at all, even cough, the sound pauses on my phone, and it's terrible aggravating. You literally can't sing along to a song without the sound pausing. Who thought that up? It's terrible. Also, though these connect to my phone, these very expensive headphones have been unable to pair with any computer I've brought them near, brand new laptops, and that also sucks.
