    Bought these for my wife so she can listen to music or watch TikTok’s and I can watch tv or play video games in peace without her complaining about the noise and it does a great job at that! She doesn’t even hear anything through them and even I checked them out and they were great!

    Headphones are as great as people say they are and I would definitely recommend them. The only issue I have is that the disconnect and reconnect if I’m using them for my work laptop and my phone is near by. It’s annoying during a meeting

    This is an amazing headphones. I originally had the mark 3s and I thought those were amazing headphones. These, mark 5s are even better in sound quality and they do a good job to function as Bluetooth headset for calls. A bit expensive but worth every penny

    Very good but ever dependent on the EQ settings it seems. You have to take the time to tailor the experience to how you want to experience sound with the companion app. In terms of build it is aesthetically pleasing but smudges easily. The cupping around the ears is also prone to become wet from sweat.

    Really responsive. Amazing sound. Walked down a busy street during rush hour. All I heard was my music. I am worried about the material in regards to the cushion. Sweating while walking can damage them so try and keep them dry. Works great with my galaxy. Download the app to utilize the headphones full potential.
