Great Sound, poor App management
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are great! The app on the other hand kind of sucks. Sometimes I wish it didn't need the app to work on my phone. The App is the only reason I wish I would have bought Bose instead. But the sound quality is good.

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.
