Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling and sound quality is near perfect, 4 stars because it is quite prone to distortion when you connect it to things other than your phone that can go higher in volume, and even when you connect them to your phone wired sometimes.
