    I absolutely love the noise canceling and the sound is amazing and I love the color choices. I got the blue to match my smart watch and phone. So far easy to operate but still learning

    Great headphones. - Noise cancelling is about the same as the MX3's - blueooth pairs and switching to devices is totally worth the buy. It connected to devices fast. - build quality and style is also much better than MX3's I recommend.

    Really responsive. Amazing sound. Walked down a busy street during rush hour. All I heard was my music. I am worried about the material in regards to the cushion. Sweating while walking can damage them so try and keep them dry. Works great with my galaxy. Download the app to utilize the headphones full potential.

    Absolute bangers, dropped them like 500 times still sound great. 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

    Best headphones I have ever owned. Will never go back to subpar headphones ever again. The sound quality is immaculate. I highly suggest listening to any John Williams music at full volume with your eyes closed. It's so immersive. I've got 10+ ear piercings and these don't bother any of them!
