Buyers report occasional audio bugs that align with critics' concerns about sound consistency.
In their words
“My first reaction when I opened the box was, dang these headphones look nice! The white really pops and the black accents are nice. The headphones have a nice weight to them, and feel comfortable on my head and ears. I can wear them for a long period of time and still feel comfortable. The battery life on one charge is insane! I’ve gone days without having to charge them.”

“i like it only downside is randomly every blue moon you get a slight audio bug. but it doesnt bother me enough to take a star away. but it would be nice if this somehow got fixed. the anc and ambient modes along with other features solidifies this as a 5 star headset.”
