Awesome Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones. The only downside I have had is the oils from my hands easily showing up on the black headphones. They sound great. On a side note, I didn’t receive the 6 months of Apple Music that are advertised with them. Other than that they have been perfect

Not the best. Definitely not the worst.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I used them for the first time, I enjoyed the sound quality as well as the comfortable fit. My only complaint about the product would be the noise canceling feature, since it is a little lacking compared to other products. Either way it's still over all a good quality product.

They’re great, need improvements
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for about two years now. The sound is AMAZING but they kept shutting off and recently they just fell apart??? I mean literally. I go to put them on and one ear piece falls out of the head piece part. Now I have to get new headphones. I would be great if they improved these issues.
