Great over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.

No complaints
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love these headphones, although it's a pretty steep price, I think that for the sound quality and how good the noise canceling is, it's worth it. It would last me about a week before I need to recharge it.
