    Perfect been using for the last year in the gym and out and about. I love them and a great investment I usually have to only charge them once a month and I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. Also was able to get headphone covers on Amazon that match the colors perfectly

    SOOO GOOD. I love it so much. It doesn’t push down on your hair, the boise cancellation is really good, and the touch pad comes in handy a lot. I’ve had it for around 1 year now and no issues. I also love how you can connect it to multiple electronics at once.

    Excellent headphones, easy to use, love the touch features on the side. Only thing I don’t like is having to use the Sound Connect app and only being able to connect to 2 devices at once. Besides that, great quality sound, amazing noise cancellation.

    Great sound quality, have been working great for me. Bluetooth connectivity is also really good, but the fit is slightly lose on my small head, so probably not a good choice for people with small heads cause it slips off especially during workouts

    Truly the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality is incredible and the call quality is quite impressive too according to my colleagues who've noticed. I love the feature that connects to multiple devices and is able to switch between the two. The noise cancelling is very impressive and make these an all around great everyday pair of headphones.
