    Worth every penny spent on these headphones!!! The only thing I would like to see change is they don’t come with a charging block (not a big deal), the usb cord is SUPER short, and for the money you would think they would have a nicer case. All nit picking stuff. That’s how AMAZING these headphones are!!! The headphones themselves are hands down the best headphones I have ever owned and in my humble opinion the best on the market. The sound quality is AWESOME and the noise canceling is AMAZING. They even canceled out the noise of a concrete saw cutting through 12” and 14” of concrete. Like they worked better than ear plugs!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Dropped the coin for these to tune out the GF on a late night. They work better than expected. But I digress. I am a late 40s male and hard of hearing. At first I wanted to turn the volume up louder than these headphones would allow. Then I settled in. It's worth the wait. No outside nose from happy miss yappy pants. The music just sounded better. I've had these for almost a year now, and they work soo great that I kicked the GF, her un ambitioned kid and a yapppy dog out of my house. Yet, I still wear these headphones and enjoy the beautiful sound.
