Frequent flyer must-haves
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these headphones while on a trip having suffered great discomfort flying to my destination. The noise cancellation is amazing. Completely cut off aircraft noise making my trip home much more pleasant. I wear them while cutting grass. Riding mower sounds like a sewing machine. Only drawback for me is the “tap” system which interferes with the tap system on my hearing aids. I have to tap my ears twice to change hearing aid programs. Unfortunately the double tap on headphones is needed to turn off and on the NC.

Best headphones I’ve ever tried out!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a gift for my mother as she does her bible studies online. I just wanna say all the hype behind the noise-canceling on these headphones is legit. As soon as you put them on, almost everything goes completely quiet. I reminds me of those hearing test headphones that do those low tone beeps lol, its that good! Oh, and they sound really good too and have a nice build quality!

Better sound than Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are so good. I bought them for my daughter and tbh am a little jealous. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones but the sound quality on these are definitely better than the Bose headphones. The case is so sturdy too which makes them great to travel or just bringing around in a backpack. Got a great deal on them and am really happy with them.
