Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. App is amazing. Only thing is that the pads get greasy a little easily but that isn't a deal breaker. The EQ is amazing once you fine tune to your liking. Also comes with 3.5mm cord as well as an airplane adapter, which is great.

Like this new headphones over Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already owned one Bose QuietComfort 35 II wireless Bluetooth headphones. The sound is great, but it can't cover my ears fully which makes the noise cancellation function less effective. I tried the new Sony WH-1000XM4 at a local Best Buy store and really like the comfort and sound quality. : )

Not Enough Volume for Home Theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones worked OK, were easy to connect to home theater by bluetooth and were comfortable to wear. I bought these to use with my home theater to be able to watch movies with loud special effects so I don't disturb my neighbors. Unfortunately, these were volume limited and did not go any louder than where I have to keep my volume now. Plus, there was a noticeable delay when I was watching streaming services.

For the audio delay, please try the following steps to remedy the issue:
Update Firmware: Ensure that your headphones are updated to the latest firmware version. This can sometimes improve performance and reduce latency.

A solid headphone.

Very satisfied with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Very sturdy. Affordable for the brand name. The design is simple and adore the color of our purchase. Not disappointed at all. Very comfortable to wear but depending on the duration, it can get uncomfortable. One improvement is to improve the cleaning aspect.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of Headphones. I prefer these over the Beats over the ear studio because they're much lighter. Way more comfortable to wear. I wish they were wireless with the new PS5 but hopefully they'll come out with an update that allows them to. The Best Buy exclusive navy color is gorgeous.

Great Headset
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great head set. The noise canceling is pretty amazing. Got it for my work from home office. Being able to connect to two devices at once is great. The mic could be a bit better, but works sufficiently well. Battery life is plenty sufficient. Got it on Black Friday sale, so price was reasonable. I only wish there was a mute button on the headset, which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars.

Comfortable with great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are in my opinion the best headphones money can buy right now. They are very comfortable and sound amazing, deep bass, clear mids, and clear highs. The highs aren't so sharp that they're ear piercing though but they are very clear.

True noise canceling

Good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do transcript work and this works perfectly. It blocks outside noises, but when I speak it allows me to hear room noise. A charge lasts a long time and it turns off automatically. Plus with wireless, I can move from my computer without removing headset.
