Pretty upset
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these back in June of 2023. They were amazing. The noise canceling was awesome. The sound was awesome. Just about every feature was great. Then in March, a mere 8 or so months later, they stopped charging. I tried looking up a fix to this issue and it seems that this is a pretty common occurance. Not what I expected out of a $300 pair of headphones. I'm pretty upset as I likely now have to send them in to be repaired.

Best headphones out there!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my Bose 700 a month ago and I was extremely disappointed by the quality of them based on the price. I found out these were announced a week ago, so I returned them and purchased these. Best decision so far :)
