    At first I was frustrated with how sensitive the sensor controls were because I wanted them for the gym but then learned they can be turned off by downloading the app, it’s been an amazing sound experience. I do wish there was a version with actual buttons for physical activity purposes but I’m not complaining this the best sound experience I’ve ever had for when I want to be in my zone & forget the world! 9/10

    Best Ever, don't remember the name of the guy who helped me. He was the best! You have people who care a lot for customers (like this guy and people who absolutely don't care like a guy who was attending the kitchen appliances that day, he was more interested in taking care of his phone messages than taking care of my questions. Same store. One more time, the young guy who helped me buying my wireless headphone. The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I bought these 2 years ago. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I use them 24-7, from the office to the gym and around the house. They've fallen off my head and hit the ground numerous times. And still, keep on ticking. Unparalleled sound quality. With the best noise canceling you'll ever hear.

    [Employee of bestbuy] To be quite honest these have just been rolling around the internet as probably the best set of headphones the average person can feasibly buy recently. I had been using beats solo pro 3's for about 4 years when I replaced them for these. I can't recommend these enough.
