Solid ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great on these headphones, and then functions are fun to customize and easy to use. I really enjoyed having a wide range for how much noise cancelation I wanted to set the headphones at. The talk to stop music feature is a bit clunky, but overall these are comfortable to wear and great noise cancelling wireless headphones.

Great headphones BUT…
