    The hardware is 5 stars!!!!. The only thing that i dont like is the app which only allows you to either have 2 devices connected at the same time like phone and work computer but if u are to go to the gaming pc or some other device you need to remove one and add the other. Intead of just marking what device should be active. Also sometimes you just want one device active. To do that you have to disable the 2 device functionality. Also the buttons are a bit sensitive. Everytime i stretch after training and my arm brushes the headphones something happens.

    Great headphones, I was in between these and the airpods Max. I like the look and feel of these better. Was worth sacrificing some of the apple features. I use these for teams calls, listening to music and while traveling. The noise canceling is top tier.

    I had to upgrade from my Bose QC 35, which were nearing 10 years old and wanted better noise cancellation for work calls. These work great! They fit nicely and comfortably for long use as well! I'm very happy with the purchase.
