    This is a must cop if you look for good sounding earbuds for a fair price. But using a different app to change the setting is weird. But overall a must if you are looking for something good.

    These do a fantastic job of cancelling all of the noise while flying. Sound quality is pretty good. The touch controls work great and had no problems with using Siri. Only complaint is the matte finish shows every fingerprint.
