I prefer companies that care about their customers
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It lost a star because it didn't come with a charger and the cords were too short making me go out and spend extra money. It lost another star because the case made me shrink down the headphones every time I wanted to put them away and it got annoying fast. Also the app didn't work without data so that i just junk. The above facts made me feel like they just don't care about their customers so i returned them. That said the sound was good and the noise canceling is the best around.
