Good quality sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for tv listening so I am not looking for headphones of audiophile quality, just clear dialogue. Sound quality is great so it meets my needs. A little pricy so I hope the plastic holds up and does not start breaking like my last pair (a different brand).

amazing sound and ui, only found one con
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love these headphones, they look like pebbles & the noise cancelling on these bad boys make you feel like you’re exiting a pressure chamber when you take them off. 10/10. the only thing im not a fan of is that they collect sweat when you work out in them. and maybe thats my fault, and i shouldnt be working out in them. other than that, seriously so perfect.
