    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.

    Well the app allows a seemless transition between the different listening modes. They are practicla and fairly simple to use. However I love that they are light weight and you can barely feel that they are on your head.
