Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound phenomenal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Only issue I’ve found is that if you’re warm, they can get a little uncomfortable and cause you to sweat some

Good product but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The experience with the headphonses is great but its $400 price point seems too much. Ideally it is a fair deal but not the great one. Audio clarity is very good in bright profile compared to default one. I dont seem to use the automatic functions most of the time.
