Sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owed the beast pros studios 3s and the beast pros and the apple pros and these are by far the best. I’ve worn them inside a loud manufacturing plant and it blocks off crazy amount of noise where I can hear my videos and still not have to deal with the loud noise around me

Good but there's better options
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones aren't cheap but they feel really good. The noise cancelling is great, the color is great but the flaw for me again is the cost. I would personally buy some beats or airpods over this but if you need some headphones that exclude airpods and beats, this is a solid option.

Great sound quality and isolation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM2s, honestly, think the noise cancelling was better on those, and the bass was a little stronger. However, the mids and highs in these are LIGHTYEARS better than them, and the headphones are stupidly lighter, making them easier to wear. Overall, much better product. Im a snobby drummer, so i know my critique of needing more bass is probably just a me problem lol

Good but ..
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were good considering the price. Sound canceling is good, but AirPod pro is a little better. I dislike how you have to use a separate app to work with the headphones. Comes w a attachable cable so that’s convenient! But I couldn’t hear that well when I attached it to a audio interface though.. but it’s good pair of headphones for the gym

I miss you…

I Bought 3, Great for ASD
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my pair first (I have ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder) and loved them. I bought my partner a pair, then another for a family member with ASD. Excellent noise cancelation and sound quality. I will put them on when riding the subway and not even put sound on; just let it quiet the noisy subway. I wish they were water resistant but the build quality is solid nevertheless.

One of the best.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are one of the best headphones out there. The noise cancelling works as intended, it pairs easily to the two devices. The transition between the two devices whiles playing sounds is seamless and very fast. The little sensor lets the music pause as soon as you take the headphones off. However, I have found that the music plays if I leave the headphones on my head, or hanging on my neck. I think this is because the sensors end up being covered and mistake my head/cheat for my ears. I would rather pause whatever I’m listening to than rely on the headphones, unless you completely take them off. There’s not a lot of improvement from the XM3s.
