    Noise-canceling works wonders! The touch is pretty sensitive, otherwise great product.

    After watching many reviews I settled on getting these. The price was a little intimidating but these headphones have easily become my daily driver. I use them for work, music and media, all of which sound fantastic. Noise cancellation so good I could probably get murdered in them. fantastic

    If you’re looking for really good high quality head phones these are it! They have a cool feature hovering your right hand over the right ear cup and itll allow you to hear your surroundings which is a great feature in my book!

    These are fabulous. Exactly what I needed to drown out the noisy neighbors behind me. Solved my stress headaches. I wish I had gotten them sooner. Only thing is ,they cannot connect wirelessly to Mac or IPad. Otherwise they are the BEST ! Much cheaper than an Apple brand.
