Reviewers praise
- Rotating dials for volume and noise-cancelling control are intuitive and smooth
- Comfortable ear cushions allow extended wear without fatigue
- Multi-point Bluetooth works exceptionally well across multiple devices
Reviewers push back
- Active noise cancellation is good but not as strong as Sony or Bose competitors
- Touch controls are oversensitive and trigger accidentally
- Headband padding pulls hair and is less comfortable than the ear cushions
A comfortable, well-designed headphone with intuitive dial controls and solid features that competes respectably but falls short of the noise-cancelling leaders from Sony and Bose.
