Speechless!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So glad I went through with purchasing these! I hesitated for a while because of the price. But when they were on sale, I jumped on it. I wish Spotify supported the 360 Reality Audio because I don't bother with 3rd party music apps I have not heard of. Regardless of that, the sound and features of these headphones is worth it to me. You get what you pay for!

Incredible sound and comfort at reasonable value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been a gamechanger working from home during the pandemic. Sound is fantastic and noise cancelling is pretty strong. I did purchase these on sale ($70 off) which has greatly increased the value, but I would recommend at full price. During extended wear, they can start to bother my head, but the earcups are the most comfortable I have ever had (and wish the PS Pulse 3D headset learned from)
