    These headphones are super comfortable to wear all day and the microphone is very clear during meetings. I will say not being able to connect to multiple devices at once has thrown me off a little bit. The battery life is phenomenal.

    Love my this product, especially when you workout and you don’t listen to the noise around you, you can focus on what are you doing. Also the quality of the earbuds are great. Best purchase I have done.

    Best headset I’ve owned in years. Ease of use and comfortable. Noise canceling is great but can be iffy when people are screaming around you. It will try to block there voice but is very wierd.

    Like this better than the Airpods Max. Not as seamless as apples headphones for the apple ecosystem, But fit and comfortability wise I would definitely choose this over the other. ANC feature is nice and carrying case is really nice.
