    The sound quality out of these headphones, especially when wired, is amazing however the top band is a bit too thin to be comfortable in my opinion. it felt like it dug into the top of my head too much

    Both these for a military veteran that has ear trouble and a brain injury and these are very comfortable with the ear ringing, popping, and other ear issues.

    Great upgrade from my xm3. I love the new design. If I had one gripe, it’d be that you cant fold them over anymore for minimal storage. But that’s not a deal breaker for me.
