Good quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These seem to be good quality. The audio quality is good and the extra features are pretty convenient, though I turned off the automatic switching between the noise cancelling and other features. The hinges seem to be aluminum, instead of aluminum and plastic like other cheaper head phones (though I’m not 100% sure since I can’t see the hinge entirely). But for now it seems like a solid head set.

Get them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great. MUCH better than Bose 35II. Just a tiny less comfortable. Both slide on my head when I bend over. Seems like all over ear headphones are for large heads. I’m a normal sized woman. If you’re deciding between Bose 35II or these, I recommend these. Many more selectable options such as equalizer. I really like the volume control swipe up or down on right ear.

Arguably one of the best headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The seamless transitions between noise cancelling and transparency modes is exceptional for these headphones. For anyone who might me sensitive to the noise cancelling its not so tough on your ears to where it will make your ears and/or head hurt. Worth it even more when on sale.

Better than Bose?!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our son has Hyperacusis and so he always has to have noise-canceling headphones on for his safety. We wanted to get a pair of noise-canceling headphones that also had Bluetooth so he didn't have to switch when he wanted to listen to something. These blew us away. He says the noise-canceling is better on these than the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones that he had been wearing!
