||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've just had these for a few days. That being said I love them. Came from the MX3's and these are so much higher quality. No squeaks from the frame. Noise cancelling is much better thann the 3's and so is the over all sound quality. So far I love them.

Happy Husband
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These noise canceling headphones do exactly what they are intended to do. He got these after wanting to purchase them for 6 months. He was extremely excited to wear these and I didn’t understand why. He is smiling more I’ve noticed especially when I talk to him about work of even more when it’s cleaning day for me. He seems very satisfied with his experience.

Why you need to purchase this?
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones 9/10 It has an awesome feature to change the way you want to listen to music and don't forget canceling noise, but why not a 10? She was 10 months old then, but unfortunately the head support needs a bit more support, it could fall off if you like to run a lot.I think it’s a very well headphones.

Best ANC of all headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely great set of headphones. Been enjoying sound quality. However out of the box you will need to play with the eq to get the perfect sound for you. Noise cancellation is really great on this compared to my old bose.
