    Work well. Great noise reduction. Very comfortable. This is my second pair. I misplaced my other set in an airport and they got taken, so I bought these again.

    They're *just* great sounding headphones. I read reviews and got myself hyped and nothing too complain about, at all, but they're slightly over hyped. Not over rated though, just amazing sounding headphones.

    Good headphones, the sound quality and noise cancelling are top notch. I am a medical student and using these to study were amazing. But the build quality isn’t the best. I ended up returning them and buying AirPod maxs instead.

    AMAZING Product. You get what you pay for. I was gifted these headphones and initially thought to return due to the price. We went to Best Buy looked at others, spoke to staff and I decided to keep and try them. I'm so glad I did, I wouldn't trade them for anything now.

    Sound, anc, and ambient on these are great but the only issue I didn't like was that the black accumulated tons of hair oil and had to be cleaned often. I have returned these for Airpod Maxes due to my personal hair putting so much oil on them.
