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.

    These are very comfortable, I often forget that im wearing them and just get totally immersed in the high quality sound they produce. The hear through mode is also great, along with the call quality on both mobile and connected to my computer. The only thing I don't like is a feature in the app called spotify tap, personally I don't use spotify, and would like to see options for other music streaming services.
