    I bought it as a gift for my nephew. I like the quality of the materials, it is proof of damage if you bend it. Nice sound. Far better than Sony - WH1000XM4. The weight is very light.

    Compared to BOSE 700, Sony GH-4 Comfortable for hours of wearing, sound quality is good but too flat, noice cancelling is great. Built quality is good as well. A few times had an issues with connection and n/c, was resolved by turning off/on the headphones.

    Comfort and sound are outstanding, truly amazing. I returned them because the arms slid too easily and I had to adjust them each time I put them on. Really disappointing for the price, but if you don’t mind this then definitely buy them.

    I'm used to my AirPods Pros, but wanted headphones. I tried Apple and Bose before these, but both were not as good. The quality of the headphones is very clear and the app they come with allows you to customize the sound to your preference.
