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.
