Good product but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The experience with the headphonses is great but its $400 price point seems too much. Ideally it is a fair deal but not the great one. Audio clarity is very good in bright profile compared to default one. I dont seem to use the automatic functions most of the time.

Flawed construction
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely loved these headphones until a plastic component broke on the left earphone, rendering them useless. I wore them daily, they charged ultra fast, their sound quality was fantastic, and their noise cancellation was perfect for what I needed. *BUT* their shoddy cheap construction didn't make it halfway into the warranty period. Extremely disappointing. Do not buy these.
