Great quality, pay-to-use functions
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent quality sound, insane noise cancelling and functions. Downside deals with the DLC stuff through the app, would be nice if it just came with the expense of the headphones.

Best noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones on the market in this price range. I also own Beats Studio Pros 3 and Bose QuietComfort 35ii. The noise cancellation is spectacular. The sound is very good as well. I also like that they give you the ability to modify the sound through their app. I got these when they were on sale for 249. Well worth the price.

Phenomenal headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been weighing between the Sony WH-1000XM3 and the Bose 700 for the last year and when these came out and I saw the reviews on them I just had to try them out. These are by far the best headphones I have ever owned. I am more than happy with my purchase and they not only sound amazing but the noise canceling is second to none! I have used them every day since I got them!
