Solid product, But not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only issue I had was with comfortably. Which I found them to be extremely uncomfortable. However, thats just me. To each their own, as I’m sure no two heads are the same. Try them on before you buy, that was my only mistake.

Underwhelming at any price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: app works well, look nice, light weight. Cons: audio quality is nowhere near what I was expecting. These sound only ok. No air to sound. Sounds flat, just not impressive at all. Audio quality over BT from Android playing very high quality source is muddy. Play same song over aux, night and day difference. That said, if you don't mind a cord, then there are way better headphones out there. What really broke the deal for me was the heat. You can't ware them more then a few minutes before you feel like you have your head in a plastic Safeway bag. I mean you just gotten take them off to let the heat out and get some air. Idk just really not my thing.
