Great but Major Defect in multiple pairs
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great in everyway and awesome for work from home. Voice quality better than anything ive used before. WARNING: Ive had two of these units now (original and replacement) and both have had the same major defect. At certain spots around NYC the right ear cup picks up on radio stations when on. This shouldnt be a deal breaker but definitely something to be aware of, especially if you use them while walking around a lot.
