Amazing headphones, especially for students!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome! I use these whenever I go to class, or am just chilling and working on homework. This past week I had a huge paper due and spent a lot of time in the library, jamming out to these headphones. Overall, the quality on these is probably one of the best in the consumer headphone market. The added functions of being paired to two devices at once, as well as the noise cancellation is a huge plus! Highly recommend these for the student who needs something to cut through a noisy room and provide a great sound experience.

I asked a bestbuy associate to show me something loud and he brought me these. The headphones are amazing when it comes to sound quality and sound cancellation. The swiping feature is my favorite part about them! They are loud and made me not even think twice about returning my Beats Studio Pros a day after having them. GET THESE HEADPHONES!!

Best for studying
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Needed noise canceling headphones for college and so far they’ve been great. Sometimes I can’t even hear people walk up behind me. I also like the ability to adjust the noise cancellation based on my surroundings so I don’t have to worry about being dangerously unaware of my environment. Takes a moment for the sound to connect to headphones but only a moment. 10/10 would recommend.
