    Had to get over-the-ear headphones after I started using a hearing aid. The headphone feels and sounds very good. When I first started using it, for the first week or so, I was getting very dizzy. Had to get used to it little by little, i.e. not using it when I'm outside walking, etc. Thankfully, I got used to it and don't get dizzy anymore. The switch between 2 devices could be faster. The app could also be better.

    This is my 3rd pair of headohones and imhave to say the noise cancelling has really improved in my opinion. They are also easier to stow away since the previous versions felt like they had tombe tangked and untangled respectively when taking them out and purting 5em back in the case. The design chane is a welcome one with the headband being more comfortable.
