Perfect blend of comfortableness, & music quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a *mild* audiophile, I appreciate good sound and enjoy hearing it but I do not wanna carry an interface in my backpack with a generator in my left hand to listen to music on my commutes and at home. And these headphones deliver, more than I thought. I grabbed it on sale but it’s really worth every penny. My only cons are you must use an app to control certain things (but that’s not entirely bad), and the worst thing is the times it’ll cut out and then start to lag with watching Netflix or anything really. Little frustrating, haven’t found a solution but other than that, awesome.
