    These headphones have amazing battery capacity. The sound quality is amazing. There are button options to make it where you can pause, skip and fast forward in such easy and convenient ways. The customer service was awesome and staff was helpful in helping me decide when model to purchase

    This is my 3rd pair of headohones and imhave to say the noise cancelling has really improved in my opinion. They are also easier to stow away since the previous versions felt like they had tombe tangked and untangled respectively when taking them out and purting 5em back in the case. The design chane is a welcome one with the headband being more comfortable.

    Very good headphone with some flaws( minor). 1. The material on the ear cups is finger print magnet. 2. It feels so hot after using it for an hour so. I was sweating after using it for a couple of hours. 3. The case/folder is very large and cumbersome to carry it around. 4. The noise canceling and audio quality is excellent but not exceptional or any better than from the new Boss quiet and apple earMax. Overall very good headphone with some flaws.

    Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.
