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.

Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't decide if I like these, and considering their cost, I guess that means they weren't worth it (to me). The audio is OK and the nose cancelling is good, except the software that gets installed with them on my phone causes the nose cancelling to turn on and off seemingly randomly. It's distracting and runs the audio quality and experience. If I don't move my head, they sound great. After wearing them for about 20 minutes they start to hurt my ears... not great. They come with a nice case, thats cool. The ear cuffs are touch control sensitive which sounds like a cool feature, but adjusting their position on your head will cause your audio playback to do weird things... not cool. Meh

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.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I am not an audiophile but they sound great to me. A couple of great features are when you talk it pauses the music and turns on the microphone so you can hear yourself talk. Another is when you lift one side of the headphone it pauses the music until you put it back to your ear.
