Between the include audio quality, the noise cancellation, the comfort, and the fact is works with my Xbox Series X, PS5, and Apple TV means means this was the single greatest addition to my media setup - especially so I can play late at night without waking anyone. The mic quality is excellent too - without having to pull the mic out of its hole, it picks up my voice (and my voice only) even in a b33rdy · steelseries.com

Im usually a true wireless earbuds person, but after some research I decided to try a pair of over ear noise cancelling headphones for watching tv. Best decision I could have made! The sound quality is crisp, clear, and the ANC is so amazing I forget I live with other noisy people. Theyre so lightweight and comfortable the only time I realize I have them on is if I start to lay down in bed. Theyve entirelytoomuchstuff · ebay.com
