Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to the store looking for new headphones, and was in between these and the AirPods max. These won me over because the sound and quietness is far greater than the max. Also this is one of the best purchases ever, totally worth the money.
