    Absolutely love these headphones. They sound better than my older pair of Bose headphones. Just wish they made them with a better material around the ear that had moisture wicking material. I use them when I mow and I tend to sweat and they slide off at times.

    Charge them before using them sound was low at first then charged them and sounded way much better i recently had the Sony Wh-1000xm4 and wasn't planning on buying these but sadly i ran them over. And I can tell the sound is better and noise cancelation is better. The only thing i don't like is adjusting i liked the whxm4 clicking. Overall really good headphones

    I’m giving them a four because they come with no directions and I can’t seem to link them to my Rand McNally GPS system which is blue tooth. I can hear really well with them on. Everyone says they are really clear on the other end. I’m supposed to wear hearing aids but with these I can hear everything quite well. So if I could get some help linking these to my GPS they would get a five plus rating

    I knew these were great headphones already, given they consistently win over reviewers on youtube. Hearing them for my self though, i was caught off guard by how utterly silent the ANC makes your surroundings. I use these daily for teams calls and music while working. Excellent sound quality and mind blowing ANC.
