Only problem is they produce a bit of static from time to time but what do you expect from the worlds biggest drop challenge. Would buy again

It connected to devices fast. - build quality and style is also much better than MX3's I recommend.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and they truly block out the background noise. I have used these mowing and they are great. One thing I don’t care for is if you talk, the sound pauses but I suspect this is something I have to figure out.
