Hands down one of my favorite headphones.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these things I've had these for quite a while and they still look and work like brand new. My fiance absolutely hates them because of the noise canceling when I have them on and she has to get up and tap me on the shoulders to get my attention.
