    I have been lookijg for a great pair of over ear headphones for work and personal. These work seemlessly with both. Auto connects to my cell phone when a call comes in or auto connect to work laptop when a teams call come in. This is great for work and play.

    My second pair. Sound quality is better than my Bose 45. Has deep bass and clear vocals. Noise cancelling works great, I fly a lot and when these are on, I don't hear the engine noise and fall asleep quickly. Highly recommended
