excellent headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these while travelling. Great sound, battery life and noise cancelling. Got them cheaper because the newer model is out but it's not a whole lot better than these.

Awesome so far!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive only had these headphones for about two weeks, but I use them every day! I really like them— theyre comfortable, light, and have cool features. I downloaded the app that they recommended, and with that the headphones basically track my movement and adjust the noise cancellation accordingly. I think that is really neat!! The sound quality and the volumes are also really good. Also, I wish I paid attention more but these are NOT water resistant. Makes me nervous to wear them in the rain, but have been able to avoid that anyway!

Premium Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are unbelievable and provide a level of audio fidelity you would be hard pressed to find in other comparable brands.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you first get them, they take 3 hours to charge. It is nice that there is a voice that says whether they are on or off if you don't want to look at the code of lights blinking at you. They are definitely grey. Silver to me implies some level of metallic color. They are just a matte grey. I got these cancel out bass music and domestic disputes from my obnoxious neighbors. They do a really great job doing that. There is a point at which they no longer cancel out the bass noise by merely being on without any additional audio being piped in. The case they come in is nice and hardy. Bluetooth pairing them with my phone was super easy. I would definitely buy these again. Would that they just came in more interesting colors than black and grey.
