Great for the gym
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are pretty loud and comfortable but the only downside is the fact that one little touch on the sides and it pauses or thinks your trying to talk to siri. Other than that I absolutely love them. Perfect noise canceling.

great, but too expensive.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and Noise cancellation, can’t really ask for anything more. Only drawback is if you’re an IPhone User the connectivity isn’t as flawless as with other Apple devices, but that’s just Apple taking advantage of the lax US consumer protection laws
