Good quality sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for tv listening so I am not looking for headphones of audiophile quality, just clear dialogue. Sound quality is great so it meets my needs. A little pricy so I hope the plastic holds up and does not start breaking like my last pair (a different brand).

Its worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are having second thoughts about buying these headphones then you need to read this review. Go ahead and buy it! I cross shopped it against its Bose and Apple counterparts, It's definitely the winner due to its form, sound quality and weight. It just happens to be the most beautiful of all the 3 too but aesthetics can be a bit subjective.

So far so good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just received these today. I previously had the SONY xm3's. These headphones sound so much better to me. I have only been listening to them for a little more than an hour, but so far i am happy with the purchase. My only negative is that the case they come in is pretty large. I have not used it for more than an hour, so i cant yet rate the battery.

Great headset
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was a game changer for me. I love using them while traveling. They pretty much block out any unwanted noise. The sound is great. The sticker price is up there but it's worth it to me.
