Grandma’s Like These Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item does what it advertised it would do. The music quality is outstanding. It cancels out noise and when you turn your head to the left or speak, it stops the sound that are coming through the headphones. Attractive appearance, you almost don’t see them when they are on your ears.

Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Perfect for late night/early morning editing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality and sound suppression. I can hear everything in videos and none of the outside world with these on. My only complaint is that my ears do get pretty hot after wearing them for a couple hours, but that's to be expected. I got these to be able to work late at night or early in the morning when my family's asleep and they work like a charm.

I love this headset.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched headphones and this came out on top. It's a pretty penny, so got it when it was discounted. Very comfortable fit. I've worn out for hours. There are so many features. The touch controls were a little tricky, so I had to youtube the instructions for all the different swipes and taps. Now that I'm use to it, it's easy. It comes with a nice sturdy case.

Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.
