||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the large cups and the good seal. Easy hook up to iPhone.

Best on the market.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sorry headphones always been high quality products, and this model has all you need specially for long flights you are in your own world, without a doubt def a keeper. Only a small adjustment on the cushion over the head would have to be wider I think they corrected it on the latest version, again this definitely also depends on the shape of the person's head its gone get some time of use but would work fine, other than that all is perfect. I would recommend it specially it been on sale for a lot less.

Work great for hard of hearing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancellation. I am someone that uses hearing aids so was trying to find something able to accommodate without having to just crank up the volume. These headphones achieve that by adding a lot of customization within the app. I’m also able to use them for work calls and switch between my laptop and personal device seamlessly through the dual Bluetooth connection.

Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancellation--when I took them off, the noise of my office AC (usually barely perceptible/unnoticeable) seemed really loud by comparison. I also enjoy my music with much more focus while wearing them. Of course, this is coming from someone who only used AirPods, so my experience is probably to be expected... but I stand by my review!! I haven't worn them to the gym yet though because I don't want to sweat in them... need to figure out how to protect these babies because they are that awesome!
