Good audio, bad durability
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that the audio of this set of headphones is great along side with the noise canceling, however... i cant get behind the fact that the build quality is lacking. It feels like it can snap in half with a slight bend.

As with both of tge other's, they each present " listening" from a different perspective. Not better or worse...just different. You have to choose the perspective that fitscyur taste.

Great, if you use your own eq setting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The stock eq setting it ships with is awful. However, the eq itself is quite comprehensive and you can dial the sound to your taste pretty quickly. DEFINITELY EXPERIMENT WITH EQ because my first impression when I used it for the first time wasn't very good. Then I spent some time tweaking the eq settings and am now very happy with it!
