Best Headphone Ever

Fragile like my heart
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I miss these.. They would be a 5 star if my pair hadn’t broken so easily. Sound quality, noise cancelling, and weight/comfort ratio are all top of the line in its respective market. Just don’t let them slip off your neck unless your reflexes are impeccable.

Best overall headphones money can buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.every review on the Internet from Google, to digital trends, onto YouTube, will tell you this is the best overall pair of headphones money can buy; this is correct. My only dislike, and this is more of a me issue, so I did not want to take away a star, is that I don’t think they get loud enough. I am one of those grumpy old. GWOT veterans with messed up hearing so I need my headphones and earbuds to be super loud, but I think there’s a lot of software in every headset, and in phones and stuff that prevent volume from reaching a certain level. But I don’t actually know, so I won’t take away to start. Bottom line, buy the headphones, if you have the money!
