I forget I'm wearing them
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very comfortable, I often forget that im wearing them and just get totally immersed in the high quality sound they produce. The hear through mode is also great, along with the call quality on both mobile and connected to my computer. The only thing I don't like is a feature in the app called spotify tap, personally I don't use spotify, and would like to see options for other music streaming services.

Great choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, works great, the aux plug in option is great for saving battery and when working off of a laptop or playing on my switch. Just be careful when doing pull ups, the touch controls can be set off due to your arm touching it also. Lol
