Great Set of Wireless Cans!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're here then you probably know how good these headphones are and having had them to toy with for the last few days I'm quite happy with my purchase. The ANC is amazing, it's been a great boon to my work from home. Additionally it's great that I have an easy way to take calls, listen to music and switch audio between my computer and phone with ease. The only downsides are call quality is just ok, it's not gonna blow your mind but there are better options if calls are your primary use case. Additionally the LDAC is not available when you have two devices connected. Minor gripes and far exceeded by all the positives. If your willing to splurge on a set of wireless headphones these are a great pick.

Excellent noise canceling and other features.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable and effective. The chat and ambient features surpass my older Bose Quiet Comfort headphones and the sound is excellent. The touch is cool, but mechanical volume control would be better. Good value when on sale.

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who loved them! Finds the side control features fascinating as well as the noise cancelling. Would recommend keeping in its case it comes in — I have my own which the skin has started peeling a bit because I didn’t take extra good care of them but that’s on me. Still going strong for 2 years!!
