Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.

Well worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sounding bluetooth headphones I have heard. The noise cancelling easily handles busy traffic or loud noise. The bluetooth hissing found on all bluetooth headphones is minimal. Nothing will ever beat wired headphones, but these manage to matchup incredibly well.

Great purchase, quality noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality headphones, these have better bluetooth range than the Bose QC 35ii, which is why I got them. The sound quality is on par with Bose headphones, although the 2 headphones have different sound profiles. If the noise cancellation gives you headaches, try returning them for a different piece, as I had a similar issue with the one I first purchased.

Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!
