Solid headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The mat black shows finger prints and smudges easily. Sound quality is solid, noise canceling seems average, overall they seem on par with $150 headphones. Bluetooth is okay. Recharge them once or twice a week.
