Crazyyyy good
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] The noise cancelling on these is INSANE, put them on in a noisy room and play some music, and all you can hear is your music. Scared to walk in piblic with how good these are in fear of getting robbed without hearing them lol.

Great sound quality, Not ideal for phone calls
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound but I needed to use this as a noise canceling headset for phone calls. Unfortunately there is a well documented issue with feedback (echo) when you speak into the headset. I tried all the fixes listed on the Internet forums but it didn’t work. I returned it and went back to my Bose headset.

Great for mowing !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphones when I am on my very loud zero turn mower and they block out the noise and allow me to listen to my favorite tunes while I'm mowing. My wife can get ahold of me anytime easily by just calling my cell phone which is connected to the headphones by bluetooth.
