Beats most headphones on market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones purchased in last 3 years. Gone through AirPods, all beats lines, and even sennheiser and nothing compares to the comfort/sound/microphone quality that these provide. Would give more stars if possible. Definitely worth the money

Worth every penny!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best headphones I have ever owned. They are totally worth the cost. They fit comfortably over my ears and don’t press in a way the other ones do, which caused ear pain and headaches.

Best headphones I own
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is amazing. I also love the noise cancellation for my studies. I highly recommend this one. It connects to both my phone and my computer and I can effortlessly switch between the two. I’ve had it for a few months and have only charged them once

Best headphones on the market

Superb
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the XM3 and extremely happy with my purchase. Review saying he needs more bass needs to realize theres more to music than bass. Wont regret upgrading if you are on the fence. Extremely comfortable, nice punchy bass, crisp highs, and mids are clean. Mess with the sony EQ and you’ll have all you want from your headphones.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Product is the best purchase I have made so far. It is little bit expensive but the comfort and the noise cancellation that it provides is the best I could say till the market right now. One of the major con is the they are not foldable.

Great for autism
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my headphones, very comfortable, even with hoop earrings on. Noise cancelling is very good, cancels all background noise. You can still hear a nearby conversation but it's muffled. Ambient noise feature is nice and it's adjustable.

Best pair of ANC headphones for $400
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of ANC headphones. Got these over the black pair because of fingerprints and I do not regret it, they look brand new after a couple months of use. ANC and comfort are the strengths of this headset. The headband is narrow but it doesn’t bother me but your mileage may vary.

Great in every aspect EXCEPT BASS.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always hesitated in spending so much for a pair of headphones. I’ve used a lot of Beat headphones and wanted know what I was missing out with Noice Cancelling Over the Ear headphones. It’s everything I expected. Audio is extremely crisp without interruption from your surroundings. You have more control inside the app with Ambient surroundings which allow you to hear the space you’re surrounded in with music playing. You can also set the headphones to react to your voice, the moment you talk it’ll mute the song. That can get very annoying if you like singing to songs so I turned that feature off. It’s worth the investment to buy one of these. Only thing I thought would be better would be the Bass. There isn’t ANY AT ALL. For $400 you would think it would give you some nice bass, but it does make it up elsewhere.
