Customers are saying

Customers regard the product's sound quality as impeccable, frequently praising its comfort, impressive battery life, and lightweight design. While many also appreciate its good bass, snug fit, and decent active noise cancellation, some concerns have been raised. These concerns primarily revolve around its portability, price, occasional connectivity issues, and a desire for louder volume and water resistance.

    Excellent product. The Bass, clarity of the sound, the vibration, details of the back ground instrument is harmonically combined and it delivers to your ears with the most details. Of course, the source of the sound also has to be good enough to fully appreciate the headphones. Noise cancelling is great works perfectly in the environment I am using. Mostly Airplane, Train and in the park. Voice call is nominal. It does what all the headphone would do. Overall as a NC Headphone this is a great product.

    Great headphones. Great sound quality. Lightweight quality material. When you wear a hat it messes with the connection and ear sensors! Try not to distort ear sensors wearing hats. Otherwise great purchase!
