Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!

Very nice sound quality/control but its plastic
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because I was able to try them from a family member and loved the bass range and 360 aduio features. I had the beats solo pro at the time and had forgotten that the beats are virtually industructable compared to these. The beats had nothing to compare when it came to sound quality and bass but at least they were full metal and not plastic.

Perfect for late night/early morning editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality and sound suppression. I can hear everything in videos and none of the outside world with these on. My only complaint is that my ears do get pretty hot after wearing them for a couple hours, but that's to be expected. I got these to be able to work late at night or early in the morning when my family's asleep and they work like a charm.

I love this headset.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched headphones and this came out on top. It's a pretty penny, so got it when it was discounted. Very comfortable fit. I've worn out for hours. There are so many features. The touch controls were a little tricky, so I had to youtube the instructions for all the different swipes and taps. Now that I'm use to it, it's easy. It comes with a nice sturdy case.

Posted .Hi NikG, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product! We're sorry to hear that you have an issue using the headphones on the gym. As it turns out, the headphones aren't quite designed for sports. To prevent the unit from falling, adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help for a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience.

Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.
