A Neurospicy Person's Best Friend
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With or without the app, noise around me disappears almost entirely. Adding music to the mix and I can relax, unwind, and not worry about getting too overstimulated. Excellent for those who can get easily overstimulated with excessive/complex/loud noises.

Listen to this
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These head phones are comfortable enough to bing watch but I can't tell if they are on or off unless I listen to them.. I wish there could be a light indicatior to let me know. I have put them away charged but when I want to use them they are not charged.
