    In the beginning I loved these headphones! Then the headband pulled away and they are useless! Look at others reviews and you will see the same issue! I even purchased a warranty, which they of course said didn’t cover this issue! They are very expensive, and now I can’t afford to replace them! I called support and sent all my info and they rejected my warranty. Buyer beware!
