    Flawed construction

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I absolutely loved these headphones until a plastic component broke on the left earphone, rendering them useless. I wore them daily, they charged ultra fast, their sound quality was fantastic, and their noise cancellation was perfect for what I needed. *BUT* their shoddy cheap construction didn't make it halfway into the warranty period. Extremely disappointing. Do not buy these.

    I got these as a gift for my sister and she said that everything about these headphones are amazing; sound, feel, and size are all good. However, she did mention that she wishes she could use them for a workout or something similar but they are not sweat resistant.
