Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones before a long flight and it was AMAZING. The noise cancellation is great. Still working through all the features (there is a "smart" conversation mode; 3D sounds; etc.) so, probably more to come.

They are too bulky to comfortably Have them around your neck when not using them. I hear the hinges are weak, but I cannot speak to that as I didn't keep them long enough.

Sounds amazing, however, the microphone wont work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good headphones in terms of sound quality and noise cancelation. That said, I've had several issues with the microphone not working even after doing a factory reset and firmware updates. I'll be taking them back in hopes of getting them resolved. For the money, I'd take a chance on something else.
