Unrivaled noise canceling abilities, sounds fantastic, almost perfectly comfortable except the head band is a tad thin. Just repositioning the headband

Comfortable, w/ great sound and noise cancelling.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and do an excellent job of cancelling out background noise and helping me concentrate at work. I also enjoy listening to music on them. I haven't pinned down everything... haven't used them in a zoom yet, but I really didn't buy them for that purpose, so cannot say for sure if the mic works well since I use them mainly to listen to music and block out noise around me.
