10 out 10 headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones. I had seen a lot of reviews about how they aren’t the best for working out but they are amazing! They sink a lot of the noise from plates dropping, bars being re-racked, etc.

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.

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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best sounding wireless (some wired headphones do sound better) but the advantage of connecting to two different devices and seamlessly switching from one to the other it’s great.

Totally masks noisy appliances and random household noise. I selected this product on the advice of a Geek Squad guy at the Dublin store. Trustworthy advice. Thanks Man! I chose sound quality over heavy bass sound quality of a similar model.
