Incredible sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect for Studying

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter absolutely loves these. Her Skull Candy Hesh 2 headphones that she had for 5 yrs broke. I took her to BestBuy so she could try out several models and this is the pair she picked. The noise canceling is amazing and if she wants to hear whats going on around her all she has to do is put her hand on one headphone and it lets the surrounding sounds in at a controlled level.

Sony XM5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
