Quality product at the right price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a huge audiophile, but great for working from home and a necessity when travelling.

Good sound but lacking function
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are lightweight, good quality sound headphones, but the lack of volume buttons and next track/previous track buttons is a big drawback. Would not have purchased had I realized newer model removed features of older model I had.

Best headset I've purchased yet!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headset I've purchased yet. It's a bit more expensive than other brands...however, I purchased the most expensive headset at GameStop and I had to return it 3x! The earpiece kept breaking! So frustrating, this is a really nice noise cancelling headset and I couldn't be happier.
