Quiet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas gift for my son and he loves them Only challenge on my end is if you don't switch on the outside sound, the headphones are truly quiet and you won't hear any outside noise, including your parents yelling for you to come down to dinner......

Sickest pair of headphones I've ever owned.
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be quite honest these have just been rolling around the internet as probably the best set of headphones the average person can feasibly buy recently. I had been using beats solo pro 3's for about 4 years when I replaced them for these. I can't recommend these enough.
