great sound, cancellation and battery but . . .
Color: White
I decided on these because of the reviews. And price was right for me. Here is my honest opinion. Sound is awesome, and noise cancelling is good. The special features (like headphone turn off and on as you take them off and on. Side ear swipe controls and sennheiser app for more controls) Well . . . if they work . . . it is very nice. You can only run the app through your phone. So that is a drawback. I found the swipe controls don't hardly work unless you are using the app itself. So if I have music say on amazon music unlimited through my laptop none of the feature work well, or at all. If I am running my music through my phone and with the app the features work at first but the the longer I listen the less likely they are bound to work. Meaning the swipe controls for vol, skip song and tap on and off and turning on noise cancellations setting. I lose connection more then I should for no reason. Lets just say I have to go back to my phone app to turn on and off the feature to get them to work correctly way too much. So If you are OK with great sound and noise cancellation with a super long battery life and can put up with the flaws of the special features that you paid for, then buy these. They are very comfortable for me. Sound was too good to send them back though, just disappointed in the special features that sometimes work and sometimes not. (haven't used phone feature at all yet) update 06-16-24: So I now have had these about a year now. My opinion has changed and I thought I would update my review. I am old (62) so I still do a lot of listening through my MP3 players (I have several - not always listening through my phone). My biggest gripe when I got them was the controls and getting the touch features to work properly. Well, it may have been operator error and just getting used to the headphones. I don't seem to be having any trouble with any listening device anymore. When I take my headphones off my head they stop and when I put them back on they start. One thing that I had trouble with early on. I have had a chance to try out the phone features and sound since the purchase and it is pretty darn good. I can not compare to other competitors though, And I don't use that a lot. So sound is great, comfort is great, battery is great and features are now upgraded to great as well I love em. Buy em! ... show more

The best for me, and I tried a few
Color: Black
I wanted a pretty nice set of bluetooth over the ear noise canceling headphones. I specifically waited for Black Friday so I could get a nice discount. I bought four different sets of headphones that were in my budget to try them all. I kept these sennheiser momentum 4 over the other ones. I returned the other three which were the Sony 1000 XM5, the Bose QuietComfort ultra and the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e. All of these had a similar price when not on sale. I was quite surprised that I kept the Sennheiser. I really thought I'd be keeping the Bowers and Wilkins based on some of the reviews I've watched. For the type of music I listen to and the ways I will be using these headphones these were just the best. The app is solid and has lots of nice options and allows for the kind of customization I was looking for. The fit is perfect for me. Although so were the Bowers & Wilkins. But the sennheiser's battery life and sound profile along with the nice noise canceling, not the best noise canceling but really good, are what won it over for me. A real 60 hours of battery life is just incredible. That means the average person probably wouldn't have to charge these but once a month! They also came with a really nice case that's slim and easy to throw in a backpack or bag. I'm not sure why other people have issues with the touch controls, they work perfect for me. And the sound quality for the type of music I listen to which is mostly 80s and '90s metal is phenomenal for Bluetooth headphones. I have a few sets of really nice wired headphones and IEM's and these are quite surprising how good they are. A friend of mine has the bose and I've let him try these. He understands why I pick these over the bose now that he's heard them. The cherry on top for these headphones though is that they are phenomenal when you're making phone calls. It doesn't matter how loud or windy the environment is that you're making your call in, the person on the other end has no idea as it's as clear as it ever could be when using Bluetooth. I am really amazed how well they work in this regard. Bluetooth headphones are very subjective when trying to tell someone what is recommended. And if I wouldn't have tried these four I would not have believed how much of a difference there is in the sound profile, comfort, apps, and noise canceling. If you're going to spend some decent money on a set of headphones I really recommend buying a few sets or at least going to a store where you can try them first. I know that's hard to do as most places don't let you try before you buy, so that's why I bought all four and returned the three I did not choose. I've used them with my Hiby DAP, my pixel smartphone and my Lenovo tablet as well as my Sony TV. All of them work fantastic and the connection was quick and easy. I like the fact that I can set up different sound profiles in the app based on what I'm using the headphones for. I have one for podcasts which makes voices sound clear and precise. I have another for movies with the extra bass turned on for the impact of movie soundtrackcs and the punch for explosions and such. I also have another for my favorite kind of music and I have one for watching YouTube videos. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy these, I'm just telling you my experience with the forehead phones I purchased and why I chose these. Everyone is different, so what's best for me is not necessarily what's best for you. ... show more

bluetooth stopped working after 9 months
Color: Black
I bought these headphones for daily use back in July of 24, and I really like them overall in the 6+ months I’ve used them :) The noise cancelling is great, sound quality is nice, the headphones hold about three to four days of near constant use which is stellar. The headphones hold a connection with my devices from across the house without disconnect which is really cool. They are comfortable and easy to put on and take off, and are fairly sturdy and can take a beating. Being someone with auditory sensory issues that makes loud noises unbearable for me, these have become an essential accessibility tool for my everyday life. Pretty much almost all day, almost all the time. I think these are quality headphones that hold up to the standard I expect from Sennheiser. I am a near-lifelong Sennheiser customer however (I used my old HD690’s for YEARS) so I will admit my biases. HOWEVER! It is not without issues. 1) Multi-device connection can be a bit problematic at times. Sometimes connections can drop seemingly at random. I’ve noticed this issue is particularly bad when you have two of these headphones connected to the same device (my roommate also has one). If you’re the only user, it’s not as big of an issue, but it’s still something to be aware of. Being a heavy user I’d say this happens about once per day. 2) Noise Cancelling can sometimes drop into full transparency at random. I don’t know why this does this. I have adaptive ANC and wind noise reduction turned off so it should not be changing at all unless I change it in the settings. Again, having auditory sensory issues, sudden loud noises can put me in a panic so this is a recipe for disaster for me. For everyone else, it’s an annoyance at best. Either way, if I set a setting, it should never change unless I change it. Speaking of… 3) ANC settings, sound control and connection management can only be done through the Smart Control phone app. There is no PC equivalent. I think this is extremely problematic for the longevity of these headphones. Although it’s something I accept because I have my phone on me a lot, I really hate that it has to be tied to an app, let alone a closed-source one that requires registration. I shouldn’t have to be forced to give my data for the sake of using my headphones to their fullest. It’s important to mention that this issue is not one of Sennheiser’s alone - pretty much all audio devices, especially wireless ones, will have some kind of app involved - but it’s still a pretty big issue nonetheless. Even with these issues, I still recommend these headphones, especially if you can get them on sale. These are really, really good. EDIT 4/7/2025 - These headphones bricked out of the blue this morning. Cannot connect via Bluetooth at all. Device immediately unpairs after pairing. Obviously outside of Amazon’s refund window so this is in Sennheiser’s court now. More than a little upset considering it helps me function on the day-to-day. But, supposedly issue #2 just got fixed in a recent firmware update, so there’s that. Sucks that it’s behind an app. The only reason I’d still recommend these headphones are if you use the audio cable it comes with. It works flawlessly on anything with an audio jack. But at that point, you could probably find a similar device for a quarter of the price. I’m so disappointed, but not surprised. ... show more

Project Hail Mary Saved my Ears as well

This is only my second wireless headphones ever but these are actually sooo good. And honestly the whole reason I even bought them was because I saw Grace wearing these in the Project Hail Mary movie scenes 😭 it was a sudden impulse purchase because of that, but somehow it ended up being one of the best purchases I’ve ever made lolll First of all the color and design are so clean and pretty in person. The comfort surprised me the most because I just got my first ear piercing and I was scared it would press on it or hurt, but it is super soft and gentle around my ears and fits my head really nicely. It doesn’t feel too tight or heavy either, so I can wear it for a long time without getting annoyed And the sound quality?? no doubt. Everything sounds super clear and full and I genuinely enjoy listening to music way more with these. The fit also feels secure when I’m walking around or moving, and I could definitely see myself using them for lighter exercise too. For the sound, comfort, fit, battery life, design, and overall quality, I honestly think it is really worth the money. My Project Hail Mary impulse actually worked out for once 😭🎧 ... show more

I want to start by saying that I’m not an audio enthusiast. I’m just someone who wanted a genuinely good pair of headphones after mostly using sub-$100 headphones, so keep that in mind when reading this review. I’m judging the MOMENTUM 4s from the perspective of a regular listener. I bought these used in “Like New” condition, and I honestly couldn’t tell they were used. They arrived six days earlier than the original estimated delivery date, which was already a nice surprise. There were no noticeable scuffs, scratches, frays on the headband or case, or really any cosmetic damage at all. I also couldn’t find any noticeable fingerprints or oils on them. Even the packaging was basically mint. There were no fingerprints, scuffs, or dents on either the shipping box or the actual product box. Obviously, packaging condition varies from seller to seller, but it was still a huge plus for me. Everything was included as well: the headphone cable, airplane adapter, charging cable, and unfortunately, the dreaded roadmap manual. Seriously, why can’t we just staple these things? I don’t want to unfold an entire sheet of paper every time I want to read something. I love the attention to detail that Sennhieser put into these. Everything is properly color coded to the headphones! Comfort Unfortunately, this is probably the weakest part of the M4s for me. I’ve seen quite a few reviews mention that the comfort improves as the headphones loosen up, so I’m hoping that’s the case. The clamping force on the M4s isn’t necessarily what bothers me the most. It’s the headband... I can’t really explain why, but it starts causing a bit of an ache on the top of my head after only a couple of minutes. It is completely bearable though. Still, for something this expensive, I’d like the comfort to be better. Hopefully it improves with more use. Sound Quality Now for the important part. These sound incredible to me. Again, I came from the Sony WH-CH720Ns, so comparing my experience to audiophile-grade headphones wouldn’t make much sense. But these are easily the best-sounding headphones I’ve ever personally used. The biggest thing I noticed was the clarity. Everything just sounds more separated and defined. The bass is also much cleaner than what I’m used to. I’ve owned a few different headphones over the years. I started mostly with Skullcandy headphones, including a couple of pairs that eventually broke during middle school. After that, I moved to the Sony WH-CH720Ns in high school, which were a noticeable improvement. The Skullcandys I owned had a lot of bass, but to my ears, it was often muddy and overwhelming. I know plenty of people love a lot of bass, but that kind of bass isn’t for me. When it starts drowning out vocals and higher-frequency sounds, it just makes music sound sloppy. (I can't speak for their newer pairs however) The MOMENTUM 4s are completely different. The bass is 100% there, but it doesn’t seem to drown out vocals or higher-end sounds. Everything feels much clearer and crisper. For what it’s worth, I still think the WH-CH720Ns are a fantastic budget option if you can get them for under $100. They’ve served me well. The MOMENTUM 4s are just on another level. Transparency Mode I haven’t really had enough time to properly test transparency mode yet. Honestly, though, I’ve always found it easier to just take an earbud or headphone off rather than press a button or use a gesture whenever I need to hear something. So this isn’t really a feature I expect to use constantly; if ever. I’ll definitely test it more over time. Battery Life It’s way too early for me to judge the advertised 60-hour battery life, but my initial experience has been really impressive. The headphones arrived at around 40% battery at roughly 4 PM, and after around 8–10 hours of pretty much constant use with ANC turned on, they’ve only dropped by around 10%. Obviously, I haven’t had these long enough to make any claims about whether they’ll actually reach the advertised battery life. But based on what I’ve seen so far, battery life definitely doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a problem. App & Features The Sennheiser app works perfectly fine so far. I usually prefer leaving the EQ alone unless something immediately sounds off, and in this case, nothing really did. I played around with some of the EQ presets, but most of them either sounded too similar for me to notice a meaningful difference or just didn’t sound as good as the default tuning. I also turned off the hand gestures for phone calls. I don’t really want to accidentally accept or hang up on a call because I touched something wrong. I'm glad it isn't hard coded and that I can turn that off! The other gestures are intuitive enough and pretty easy to remember. One feature I really like is the automatic play/pause when you take the headphones off and put them back on. So far, it’s worked pretty seamlessly. Bluetooth Bluetooth has been excellent. Pairing them with both my PC and phone was extremely fast, and I haven’t experienced any connection issues or noticeable problems. There is one funny downside, though: these things REALLY want to connect. They’ll reconnect to my PC even after I’ve disconnected them over and over, which means I have to turn off Bluetooth on the PC completely if I don’t want them connecting again. It’s not a huge problem, but it can definitely be a minor inconvenience. Design & Build Quality The design is my favorite things about these headphones and the main reason I got them. I specifically went with the brown version, which seems to be a pretty unpopular color choice. Personally, I love it. It matches me really well, and I think the brown gives them a more premium and unique look to the black headphones I also got. I also really like the Sennheiser logos embedded into both sides of the headband. They’re subtle and tasteful and not garish like some other brands. The textured fabric material on the headband looks and feels premium, and I really like the metallic-looking plastic finish on the headphones themselves. It doesn’t seem to attract fingerprints very easily either, which is another nice touch, considering they're touch controlled. The ear cushions seem perfectly fine so far. I don’t really have any complaints about them, but I wouldn’t say they’re the standout part of the headphones either. The left and right ear imprints inside the ear cups are useful! i also noticed on the left side, between the headband and the earphone, there's a few small bumps that don't appear on the right, i'm led to believe this is another indicator of which way the headphones go on? I haven't heard anyone talk about this so I'm not entirely sure, but it is something i noticed. Negatives So far, comfort is really the only significant negative I’ve found. The clamping force is a little strong for my liking, and the headband just isn’t particularly comfortable for me. Hopefully that improves as I use them more. Other than that, I really haven’t found much to complain about after my first day. Was $170 Worth It? Absolutely. I originally bought these for around $200, but after emailing the seller about their price change a day later, they immediately issued me a refund the next morning. That brought my final price down to about $170 USD. Since then, the price for a used “Like New” pair has dropped even further to around $160, although prices obviously vary depending on the specific listing and color. In my case, I think the brown version being less popular actually worked in my favor because it seems to be one of the cheaper options on the used market. Considering the MOMENTUM 4s normally sell for around $250, getting a mint-condition pair for $170 feels like an absolute steal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these to someone who asked me to find them a pair of headphones under $200. The sound quality alone has been a massive upgrade from what I’m used to, and the build quality, battery life, features, and overall design have all been impressive so far. That said, this is only a first impression after about a day of use. I’m especially interested to see how the comfort changes over time and how well everything holds up over the next few months. I’ll try to remember to update this review around December with my longer-term thoughts. So far, though? I’m very happy with my $170 purchase. ... show more

Too many harsh reviews for these. These are better than any other option for <$500.
Color: Black/Copper - Special Edition
After having these headphones for the past year, I have to say that these are definitely 5/5 headphones. I'm not sure what some of the complaints are about, but I think some folks with the lesser reviews must have gotten faulty devices, because the only time I've ever had a connectivity issue was when I mistakenly had both my speakers and my headphones connected. As a matter of fact, I've actually found myself more annoyed by them automatically turning on and connecting when I had literally just turned them off to put them away. There's something about the "on-ear" function that senses when you're wearing them. When the ear muffs go face down in the case, the headphones will sometimes think that they're being put on your head. If you're doing it in a fluid manner, they won't turn back on, but if you turn them off, set them down, and then put them away shortly after, they'll probably turn on. I believe the noise cancellation is solid. When I don't have any music playing and just have the noise cancellation active I can't hear much at all. Normal conversation is definitely out of the realm of possibility. If someone's talking to you and you're not looking straight at them, you wouldn't know it. You can hear some of the louder traffic that passes by if you're walking down the street, but if you have your music on you're not very likely to hear anything but larger/louder vehicles. I would say sound over 80 dB and you can start to hear things through the noise cancellation. I've used these for casual gaming on my PS5. You have to connect the headphones directly into the controller, but I'm pretty sure that's just a Sony thing so that you'll buy their PS5-specific headphones. Anybody I've played with has never complained about not being able to hear me and anyone I've asked says I come through clearly. I asked people specifically to know if they would work well with games as well as music, and I think they're great for both. There is good spatial sound. In video games you can hear things like directional footsteps and know whether someone is in front of you, coming around a corner, or behind you. With music you'll hear background sounds that the recording picked up or different notes or instruments that you've never heard before in songs you've heard a hundred times. Now, let me be very clear here: these are not $1,000+ "audiophile" hardwired, gold plated, top-of-line headphones for top-quality production. I'm just a regular consumer who loves to listen to good music, with great volume, bass, and body. For all practical purposes, these are absolutely fantastic. The size of the headphones is reasonable. Not too big, not too small. I've seen some complaints about the ear cups being too small, which from one standpoint I understand. On the other hand, they're actually really comfortable. The material is soft, the headband is comfortable, they're adjustable, and for me, they've never been too tight. They were maybe a bit tight for the first week or so I had them, but nothing memorable or headache inducing. The material on the ear cups, while comfortable and soft, does make me wonder when, not if, the material starts to break down. If you sweat, prepare for your ears to get hot and sweat. The material isn't absorbent at all, so you don't have to worry about your headphones getting soggy, but sweat will definitely build up on the cups and it can become a little uncomfortable if you're walking in a bit of heat. On the same note of not being too tight on your head, they're also not terribly heavy. I think they weigh a bit more than the old school Beats - when they were still owned by Dre - but I can say they're far, far superior to the Beats. You can feel it and you can hear it. The case they come in is solid and compact - as compact as it can get for headphones that don't fold in half. It fits in my backpack just fine and it definitely won't get crushed unless you're really trying to damage the case. It would take a full body fall and the case's first thing to give way would be the zipper. Even then, there's not a wide enough range for the case to entirely break down and crush the headphones. I believe that if you slipped on ice, for example, and fell straight on them, they would survive. I compared these to the XM5's and I think these have a deeper bass. I think the soundstage/spatial sound is more in depth with the XM5's, but you most likely wouldn't be able to tell unless you've got a very keen ear or you're directly comparing them side by side. I have no idea why these are currently priced at $450. A year ago I spent around $300 for them. It was a great deal then, and I would probably spend $400 again if I ever needed to replace them. If I do look to get "nicer" headphones, Sennheiser will definitely be a brand I'll look for first. The software for Sennheiser is not that great, but it's been improving since I got the headphones. You can adjust noise cancellation, wind cancellation, highs, mids, lows, bass, etc. You can adjust your functionality, such as how your touch controls function on the outside of your headphones - swiping up will turn the volume up, tapping it will pause the music and so on. You can answer or decline calls with it, but I just do that on my phone to not accidentally pick up a phone call I don't want. If you have your own settings and you've got them turned up beyond what they reasonably can do, you'll sometimes get a skip in one of the speakers. Mine just so happens to occur in the left ear, but once I corrected my settings it stopped happening. I do wish the volume could be turned up another notch, but I'm pretty sure if they were to go any louder then they would cause real hearing damage after about 20-30 minutes. I listen to my music loud and have had no worries about hearing damage, which I've been paying for as time goes on, but if you adhere to realistic settings then you will be just fine. If you start to go over on your setting boosts in certain categories, you'll hear it start to get a little muddy or tinny depending on the setting. If you hear either of those, even a little bit, change your settings. The first firmware update took 10 or 15 minutes and your phone screen has to stay on during the download and installation otherwise it will cut out for some reason. So plug in your phone and make sure you have your screen on and the app open for the duration otherwise it gets interrupted. It took me a couple tries to realize that. For anybody looking for headphones in the sub <$500 range, these are almost perfect. Mine get regular use, the battery is just insane, the sound quality is solid and comes through in a consistent manner. You can tell when a song has been recorded or produced on a lesser scale than some others. They can really make certain artists/songs/producers stand out more than others. They also play every genre of music well. If you think of a sound system, a 12" sub will have a slower reaction time than a 10" sub, for example, so if your hip hop sounds better on a 12" and your tighter bass sounds come through a bit better on a 10" sub, these headphones feel to be right down the middle. I say "feel" and not "sound" because if you've ever had a sound system in your car then you know the vibrations you get from that strong, amplified bass through your subs. You can almost replicate that feeling with good headphones and these don't weigh heavily one way or the other. ... show more

After over three years with these headphones, I feel like it is time to give an honest review. I have owned many headphones over the last five decades, made by several manufacturers. The three brands that have stood out as the best, and come with reasonable prices, giving me the most satisfaction have been the professional grade headphones made by BeyerDynamic (whom I consider the best overall), Sennheiser, and Sony. Note I said PROFESSIONAL Grade. None of these brands, nor any brand, of consumer grade headphones, will be great. That isn't what consumer grade headphones are made for. This is unequivocally true of any form of wireless headphones, especially Bluetooth, as the technology is simply impossible to make as high quality as wired. My experience with consumer grade headphones is limited, as I am a musician, and love to listen to Jazz, Classical, and Progressive Rock, which are all music types that are best experienced with true high-fidelity audio equipment, though you need not go insane with the ultra-premium audiophile junk that is marketed with baseless and often downright dishonest BS associated. Just solid copper wiring, well engineered amps with over-spec'd solid state components (or if you prefer the warmth of tubes like I do, go with tube circuitry). Note, I never wear headphones in public - I don't like looking like a martian or an idiot as some people seem to do. Rather, I listen to music at home, and as such, only listen using professional "audiophile" grade wired over the ear, open-back headphones in an otherwise silent room for the most pristine listening experience. So, with all that said, it should be noted that these are not TRUE Sennheiser headphones, but merely Sennheiser branded, under license, that are NOT MADE BY SENNHEISER, but rather made through a partnership with Sonova Holding AG, a Swiss hearing aid company that acquired Sennheiser's consumer audio division (including wireless headphones and soundbars) in 2021, with the two companies collaborating to continue the brand's consumer products, while the original Sennheiser remains focused on professional audio. Sennheiser's wired headphones, especially their high-end audiophile models (like the HD 600, HD 800 S, IE 600, IE 900) and professional gear, are still made by the original Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG, a German company focused on Pro Audio and high-end wired consumer gear, while their general consumer wireless headphones are developed by Sonova AG under license, following Sonova's 2021 acquisition of Sennheiser's consumer division. Key Distinction: Sennheiser (the original company): Still German-owned, focuses on professional audio (microphones, conference tech) and high-end, audiophile wired headphones, manufactured in places like Ireland. Sennheiser-hearing.com (Sonova): The consumer side (wireless headphones, soundbars) is operated by Swiss hearing aid giant Sonova, using the Sennheiser brand name under license for their audio products. So, if you're looking at premium wired headphones from Sennheiser, look to the wired HD 600 series or IE series, as they're from the original Sennheiser; and if you are looking for Bluetooth headphones, be aware that the Sennheiser brand is only a name and does not reflect on the quality that Sennheiser has long been known for as they are from the Sonova-operated consumer headphone division. Likewise, be aware that bluetooth is a VERY problematic technology, with frequent problems with connecting devices, random disconnects and audio dropouts, glitches and noise. In short, bluetooth with NEVER give you professional grade audio. Note that whilst you CAN connect these headphones using an audio cable, you will not get true Sennheiser quality audio out of them, as they just are not true Sennheiser headphones and have lower quality drivers (what the the actual speakers are called), and the audio circuitry remains part of the circuit. Pros: Acceptable, arguably above average audio quality - though this is a VERY subjective matter, and is especially present when used as wired headphones, but DO NOT EXPECT Sennheiser pro grade audio out of these. You will NEVER get that out of Sennheiser or ANY Bluetooth headphones as Bluetooth and the digital circuitry is inherently trouble prone, even with a direct wired connection, as the electronics introduce both active (crosstalk interference when powered on) and passive (impedance issues due to inevitable circuit design). The noise suppression is okay, but definitely below par. Both Bose and Sony do significantly better in this regard. Build quality is another major issue with these headphones. The padding comes apart as it is merely glued, and whilst the ear pads are replaceable, the only available replacements appear to be third party. However, the headband pad also comes loose - I was able to repair mine using a a syringe loaded with glue, and a metal spudger to tuck the fabric back under the edge. Not optimal, but workable. ... show more

Disappointed with the reliability and quality
Color: Teal
I ended up returning these headphones after owning them for less than a month. The right side completely stopped working while I was listening to music. The touch controls on the right ear cup still worked, but there was no audio coming from that side. I tried reconnecting, updating, and factory resetting the headphones, but nothing fixed the issue. I also had a few smaller issues while using them. The automatic noise canceling adjustments would make a beeping sound every time the headphones changed settings, which became annoying when it happened multiple times within a short period. The touch controls would also occasionally pick up my hair and accidentally pause music or change settings. My biggest disappointment was the overall feel of the headphones. For the price, I expected them to feel more premium and sturdy. They are lightweight and comfortable, but they did not feel as durable as I expected from headphones in this price range. The best way I can describe it is that they felt closer to a cheaper pair of wireless headphones rather than a premium product. The sound quality was excellent. The vocals and instruments sounded clear, and the noise canceling worked very well at blocking out most noise. However, for the price I was disappointed and would have a hard time recommending these headphones based on the reliability issues I experienced. The sound quality was impressive, but the durability did not meet my expectations for a pair of headphones in this price range. ... show more
