Pricey but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for back to school since I’m a college student and I need something that is noise cancellation and has long lasting battery. I use it to listen to recorded lectures as well as music when studying. I guess the only con I have is that I still can’t figure out how to connect it to both my laptop and iPhone and be able to make an easy transition from either devices.

Excellent upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the twos and figured it was time to upgrade to the fours and although aesthetically there may not be much difference besides color options the sound is really great & being able to connect to two devices helps as well. Dry confrtoable and light in weight.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best noise canceling that I have ever had. They are comfortable to wear for extended time and sound great. The app to control them could use some improvement. My Beats Studio 3 headphones work more seamlessly with iPhone but aren’t as comfortable to wear.
