    I bought these for my wife for her birthday. She loves these headphones. Loves how simple you can operate them. Loves how tapping the right headphone cup you can play the music or stop it. Swipe up or down controls the volume. Just all atound a great headphone and they sound amazing.

    I've had Sony Headphones in the past. They wee great. These are a major upgrade. Excellent all around. They do the best job of cancelling low frequency noises that I have experienced. Think foot steps and door closing stuff.

    These headphones turned out to be the best for what I was looking for. They block out the sound that was distracting for me. I mostly use them for listening to music and they make listening to music great.

    For someone who has never owned premium headphones these are amazing, the noise cancelling is great and the sound is definitely better than the $20 ones. The 2 things that bothered me was when the noise cancelling was on it would feel weird when not playing anything. The second thing was the charging cable being way too small. But overall these headphones are really good.
