Great upgrade

Amazing headphones

My new headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best feature on these headphones is the noise cancellation. I took a flight to Paris 13 hours plus filled with children, i head nothing but my great music, I didn’t even hear the noise from the plane. Love that I hear more than just the base.

Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good improvement in terms of the quality of music it delivers, what I will say that most people will see as a negative is the fact the holding case is bigger due to the headphones not being able to fold closed. At times it did bother me but as I normally have them out due to how much I use them it doesn’t cause much of an issue for me.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I am not an audiophile but they sound great to me. A couple of great features are when you talk it pauses the music and turns on the microphone so you can hear yourself talk. Another is when you lift one side of the headphone it pauses the music until you put it back to your ear.
