Held up for over a year, good for everyday use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my spouse as a gift and he really likes them. They seem a little delicate around the part where the headband attaches to the ear pieces, but he's used them daily for about a year now and they seem to have held up. He uses them for music, his phone, and work calls.

Okay headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good headphones, the sound quality and noise cancelling are top notch. I am a medical student and using these to study were amazing. But the build quality isn’t the best. I ended up returning them and buying AirPod maxs instead.

Wonderful and Light Weight
