Good purchase

Bought these to help stop the nightly sound of rushing water in my ears. I've used these for 2 weeks now and the noise canceling works good. I am using pandora to stream music at a low level, with the noise canceling on. My ears really appreciate these headphones.

I would buy again.

Good sound, reliable bluetooth connection. Comfortable for a couple of hours at a time.

Impressive sound quality, features, and value!

Great audio quality (both no ANC and with ANC), pass-through feature is very useful (need to update to allow audio to continue during pass through, like the MTW2 earbuds do), solid Bluetooth connection, microphone quality during video/calls is great. The On/Off design of twisting the right ear cup is different... but it makes sense and works fine. MSRP of $350 and snagged on sale for $200. Great value.

Amazing headphones.

Amazing headphones. The noise canceling works great, though I wish it was better at noise canceling more higher pitched noise but amazing otherwise. It gets rid of all the low noise like rum of the ac or the fan. It fits nicely over the ears and is comfortable. The feature when you rotate the ears turns on and off the headphones is amazing. I use that feature all the time. The case is the weakest point of the headphone purchase, literally. It provides very little protection if the case is placed in luggage or backpack.

Listening

Perhaps my ears are larger than I realized. When I first opened the box, I was sad to see the ear cups are so small. After using them for a couple weeks, I've found them to be comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. I chose these because I liked the idea of the controls. I still like them, although I do accidently pause the sound once in a while when I stretch. (Not often enough to be annoying, just mentioning it I like the way they sound after using the app for adjustments. Out of the box they sounded a bit flat. Haven't had opportunity to experience the ANC properly. 4 Stars because they were initially quirky when setting up bluetooth on two devices.

great of you have smaller ears

these headphones have great sound, the battery lasts a long time, the padding is really soft and the Bluetooth works great. the noise cancellation is very effective. my only complaint is that it pinches on my ear after a few hours.
