Best headphones I've ever had
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best headphones I've ever had despite big price tag it delivers. I was thinking buying a sound bar but now I don't need one at all. Highly recommend this product. Battery life is amazing. Lasted me all long flight to Europe with 4 hours overlay.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Great sound quality. Lightweight quality material. When you wear a hat it messes with the connection and ear sensors! Try not to distort ear sensors wearing hats. Otherwise great purchase!

Wonderful and Light Weight
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
