Great for music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, especially when subscribed to a great streaming service. One issue when using as a headset the microphone drops out and you have to turn off and back on. That said, I don’t use them for video conferencing.

Best fit for larger head sizes
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this pair of headphones predominately for online school lectures while blocking out the husband, pets and television background noise. Not much to complain about other than the lack of ability to tighten the over head band. Even at the smallest size, my adult head doesn’t hold them in place for long. It is annoying but not worth returning.

Look at my comment before buying
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is exceptional better than the Bose NC700. I have an iPhone and the pair to two devices at once works so much better than the NC700 as well. Now for call quality they are good but the NC700 does have a leg up on these. However they are still great.

Nice sound but not loud enough!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is crisp and the noise cancelling is excellent. But I’m very disappointed in the volume maximum of the product. It truly is not loud enough for my satisfaction. Very disappointed that a $324 pair of headphones is not loud enough for my liking! I owned a Beats pair and they were so much better!
