Good but a few cons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the sound is great! Not gym friendly as I sweat profusely around my ears due to the material also when doing any sort of upper weight movement the music basically pauses each rep not sure if I can change that setting

They’re great, need improvements
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for about two years now. The sound is AMAZING but they kept shutting off and recently they just fell apart??? I mean literally. I go to put them on and one ear piece falls out of the head piece part. Now I have to get new headphones. I would be great if they improved these issues.

Great Sound and Noise Cancelling, Poor Quality
|Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a few pairs of headphones in the $200-400 price range over the past few years. This is among the best in terms of sound quality (Sennheiser Momentum 4 is about the same to slightly better at a lower price) and the best in terms of noise cancelling. However, these headphones are made very cheaply and are not built to last. Immediately when taking out of the package I could feel they were made out of a cheap plastic and had concerns about their durability. I enjoyed them for about 7 months until they broke at the rotation point. If you are willing to pay this price and buy the geek squad protection plan these are good headphones but if you don't get the plan or expect to keep these for many years beyond the length of the plan I would stay away from these. It's disappointing they can't spend a bit more to make these right considering the price.

Posted .Hi Patrick, While we're glad that you've enjoyed the noise canceling and sound quality, we regret to hear that the rotation point broke. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Having said that, we'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.
