Amazing Sound and amazing noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent Quality! But sometimes when multiple devices are connected it has a tough time to recognize from where the music is being queued. Noise cancelling is amazing. Lets me work in a busy work environment without any disturbance.

So worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.

Quality Headphones with Extraneous Features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, however, I do not think these headphones offer the greatest sound for the price range. It offers many touch control features such as being able to lower/higher the volume with a stroke of a finger, disable noise cancellation by hovering your hand over the right earphone and many others, but I did not see myself using these features often. Some things I think are important to point out: These are primarily wireless bluetooth headphones in that they need to be connected via bluetooth to be able to modify and get the enhanced audio quality settings via their app. If you use these headphones strictly wired, the audio quality is noticeably worse. This does not seem like too big of an issue for me since they charge relatively quickly. On that note, these headphones cannot be used while they are charging. With that being said, I still enjoy these headphones, but if I had the option to buy these again, I think I would probably choose the Bose QC35 that are available for around the same price since I have had a better experience with Bose overall.

Best headphones I've owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the 360 audio. Too bad I can't have this for all the music that I have. But without the 360, the sound is still very good. And I use it for video conferencing calls on PC and it's superb. This one has everything that I want. I can't ask for more.

5/5 Star Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy the soundproof audio. Even in the loudest settings, the soundproof does its job of minimizing the amount of noise I can hear. The headphones are also very comfortable. I had issues in the past where headphones would hurt my ears, so I could not wear them for a long period of time. However, these are extremely comfortable to the point where I can sleep just fine in them. They are easy to pair with devices and come with easy-to-follow instructions on how to set them up.
