    Still getting use to the power and battery settings. Seems like the sensor doesn't work to turn them off when placed in the case. Also irritating is I can't listen and charge. I have had to use my old buds for important meetings that don't work great due to this. However everything else so far is great.

    Love them! Great sound blocking headphones. Got the grey ones, they did not get dirty. The case is made of recycled materials that can easily get dirty but it is easy to clean. Overall great product. Use them everyday at work and on the train on the way to uni.

    Not as good as the previous gen or even the ones before that which I have used before. I purchased these I immediately regretted it. Made me miss the wh-1000xm3. For me the only good I can say is how light they feel. The worst part of my experience with these was listening gets paused so frequently.
