Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones. They are not bulky and really do well at noise cancelling. I use them daily for work and they connect to my computer via Bluetooth effortlessly.

Get them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great. MUCH better than Bose 35II. Just a tiny less comfortable. Both slide on my head when I bend over. Seems like all over ear headphones are for large heads. I’m a normal sized woman. If you’re deciding between Bose 35II or these, I recommend these. Many more selectable options such as equalizer. I really like the volume control swipe up or down on right ear.

Good but ..
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were good considering the price. Sound canceling is good, but AirPod pro is a little better. I dislike how you have to use a separate app to work with the headphones. Comes w a attachable cable so that’s convenient! But I couldn’t hear that well when I attached it to a audio interface though.. but it’s good pair of headphones for the gym

Better than Bose?!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our son has Hyperacusis and so he always has to have noise-canceling headphones on for his safety. We wanted to get a pair of noise-canceling headphones that also had Bluetooth so he didn't have to switch when he wanted to listen to something. These blew us away. He says the noise-canceling is better on these than the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones that he had been wearing!

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews I decided to purchase these headphones. Noise cancelling is the main reason I purchased these. I have a neighbor who has a stereo with a thumping bass that was penetrating the walls. I got these headphones and most of the noise was gone. Because these are bluetooth enabled I was able to have some calming music to help me sleep and that drowned out all of the noise. The sound itself is really good, too!

Super happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound excellent, are feature rich and have a stylish case. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they jump to 100 percent volume when powering on and pairing with my phone. Tech support showed me how to reset the headphones but the issue creeps back in every once and a while. I’m sure they will address it in a firmware update. Other than that I am super impressed with both the sound and build quality.
