    Superb On ear headphones. Never bought noise canceling headphones before. These are the newest and best. Easy friendly user face. Other than getting used to wearing noise canceling headphones these are awesome.

    I love the sound of these headphones. The one complaint is that the bar across the top hits my head in a firm way and is a bit irritating. Not sure why there is not more padding or perhaps a bit more curve.

    This is a must cop if you look for good sounding earbuds for a fair price. But using a different app to change the setting is weird. But overall a must if you are looking for something good.

    Very good headphones. I mainly use them for studying which is perfect, I can block out any noise if I need to or change the settings to allow for ambient noise if I'm studying with friends.
