Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like however they are a little loose for my head. The sound is great and I like the way you can turn it off and on. They are very pricey so hoping they last a long time as my Beats did not.

Awesome Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones. The only downside I have had is the oils from my hands easily showing up on the black headphones. They sound great. On a side note, I didn’t receive the 6 months of Apple Music that are advertised with them. Other than that they have been perfect

GOOD HEADPHONES
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SO I've never really owned an ANC headphones (I've tried them). These headphones are great. My head gets a little hot sometimes but it isn't to the point where I want to take my headphones off. It does suck that it isn't as integrated as APMs, APPs, and APs but the ability to tweak the EQ is what convinced me to purchase. Also mic quality is quite nice.

Not the best. Definitely not the worst.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I used them for the first time, I enjoyed the sound quality as well as the comfortable fit. My only complaint about the product would be the noise canceling feature, since it is a little lacking compared to other products. Either way it's still over all a good quality product.
