What people love about it
Looks aside, these headphones are well-loved for their touch sensor controls on the ear cups, 30-hour battery life and the cool collapsible case it comes with. Plus, they can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time.
The active noise cancelling (ANC) function has impressed both professional reviewers and shoppers alike. In fact, it’s earned a 4.6 out of 5 stars rating on Amazon, with satisfied customers raving about how the “sound quality is amazing, [and the] noise cancellation is unreal”, that it’s “intuitive” and an “all-round great buy”.
