Headphones for Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought headphones because of air travel. Since my next flight is scheduled for February 7, 2023 I am not able to determine if it works for my needs. I do use it when taking walks and it works just fine.

Posted .Hi JenniferW,
Thank you for the review! If you use the headset at a place where it is restricted to use Bluetooth devices such as on an airplane, you can use the headset as noise canceling headphones while the headset is connected to a device via the supplied headphone cable and the headset is turned on.

Great, but not Excellent!
|Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Very good headphones. Mids were a highlight of the listen. Could use some more impact in the lower frequencies. Very clear low end, but not as impactful as I'd like.
