Best ANC Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly Comfy (not as much as the Bose QCs) but not uncomfortable at all. Great ANC, better app with EQ, and USB-C, because we're 2020....Touch Controls remain top notch and a relatively conservative sleek design perfect for both business and casual environments. The custom ANC button is cool. Only gripe is having to hold power to turn on/off, and the microphone is still pretty terrible. Dropping aptX + aptX LL/HD was also a seriously questionable move, but at the end of they day, it's still bluetooth codec so the quality isn't going to be on par anyways. Sound's passable from a regular viewpoint and downright awful from an audiophone. Of course, you're here for ANC and not something like Senn 6xx so we can gloss over the sound quality.

Excellent headphones, bad name!

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.
