    Good headphones, good sound, but I personally had a problem - after 1-2 hours of use my ears start to hurt from the pressure of the headphones themselves. Maybe it's just not my headphone format

    The mat black shows finger prints and smudges easily. Sound quality is solid, noise canceling seems average, overall they seem on par with $150 headphones. Bluetooth is okay. Recharge them once or twice a week.

    Head phones are clear. The emphasis is on vocals. If you are looking a pair of anc's that provide top notch experience even at a low volume. These are the one.

    These headphones definitely have excellent sound quality. Initial use of The noise-canceling and ambient sound features are great also. One small minor critique I have with the headphones is that they're not sweatproof or water-resistant. You think for the price, they would have at least some type of water resistance. But the sound quality is impressive.
