The best

Last me two work days while being connected to two devices as it auto switches between the two sources based on which one is sending audio.

Best wireless, noise-canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For this price-point, these are worth the cost. Quality, comfort, and features justify buying these over “cheaper” $250+ headphones. Get these when they go on sale if you are able ($50-80 off).

Replacing MS surface headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are replacing my Microsoft surface 2 headphones. Both can connect to 2 devices at a time. I also loved the physical volume knob on the MS headphones. The MS headphones headband snapped due to being made of only plastic; also they cannot handle bass like these. These sound great and can handle bass. I’m careful with headphones but I’ve dropped them multiple times on a wood floor and they are good. They lose connection but it’s rare. Recommended
