Great build quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable headphones. Great design and doesnt apply too much pressure on the ears. Bass gets a little lost, but its a very minor complaint. Overall well balanced.

Overall Great Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are easy to setup, comfortable, and have a long battery life. The noise cancelling could be better. Not sure if its the software or the actual headphones, but in some environments the noise canceling doesnt even seem to turn on.

Best Headphones I've Owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the headphones for a year now and still love them. I listen to audio books, music, and make calls when I go for walks outside. The sound is fantastic the call quality is insane. The connectivity is crisp and I can set my phone in the middle of the house and listen and talk anywhere I go while doing house chores. The head pinch was a bit of a problem at first. Found that wearing a hat helped early on to add some padding. As the headphones wore in, the band has lost the pinch.
