Good noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling is better than my Bose headphones. They only thing I don't like about them is they kept beeping on me during my flight. The ambiance sound kept turning off and on and would beep every time. Very frustrating! If I could return them I would but it is past the return period.

Great sound but do not fit smaller heads
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for gym headphones to drown out the sound around me. The sound quality is amazing with great controls. The reason I am only giving 3 stars is because they fit too loose for me with no way to adjust them. If I move too fast they just slide right off my head. It gets worse with sweat. If you have a smaller head size I wouldn’t recommend. I wear a size 7 fitted hat for reference.

They’re okay.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought they were incredible after reading all the previous reviews, but they’re okay. I was looking for something that would cancel out the noise but my voice from The microphone , but it didn’t do that. Sound quality is good. Maybe the music I listen to sucks idk.

Posted .Hi HeyWhatsup, thank you for choosing and purchasing our industry-leading noise canceling headphones. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the microphone of our product.
Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (19.69 in.) away from the headset. Noise may result if the smartphone or mobile phone is too close to the headset.

A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're okay. For the amount of money I paid for these headphones, the sound quality is basic and not all that great. Sounds mostly muffled even if you customize the sound. When I'm active, it loses connection often. And i also hate that I can't charge and use them at the same time. But I will say they are quite comfortable to wear. Nice design. And the blue is nice.
