Great value 4.5 star
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Giving this a 4 only because the app is a little buggy. Has dual pairing options but the switches are not consistent. Headphones themselves are really well built and still top tier considering this is a dated model.

Great headphones with great noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I've ever purchased. It took me awhile to finally decide to lay down the money for them since they are a little pricy, but totally worth it! I really struggle when it comes to finding the right headphones. Earbuds will NOT stay in my ear, no matter what make, model or kind they are...so that leaves me with over-the-ear headphones. I have gen 1 AirPods but I'm constantly adjusting them to make sure they don't fall out...which they still do on occasion and it's really frustrating. I also fly a lot, and trying to listen to music or watch movies while on the plane is always a struggle because I end up holding the Pods into my ear so I can actually hear over the noise. These bad boys take all of that away. The noise cancellation feature is exactly what I was looking for and I love being able to just put my palm to the side to hear what someone is saying to me. I debated between these and the AirPods Max but these won out because of price, they aren't as heavy on my head and they come with a carrying case. Definitely worth the money! Only con, they do make my ears sweat after awhile, but not bad enough to knock them for it.

Roku soundbar & LG TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the sound quality. They hook up easily to my Roku soundbar and LG tv. My complaint is that they do not easily switch from tv to phone if I get a call while watching. Very disappointing feature but I basically use them for my tv so it isn’t a dealbreaker.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever used. I have an old version of Sony noise-cancelling headphones and was very please with their performance. But THESE are way better. The size, the quality, the way they hug your ears (you tend to forget you are wearing them) is awesome. I truly recommend them. The sound quality is beyond perfect.
