The editors didn't like
Sound could be improved
Not the most stylish headphones out there
We found these headphones hard to pair via Bluetooth
Design has a little too much of an office vibe to it
Fairly heavy at 360 grams
Bass and treble may be a little too hyped for some people
Active noise cancellation significantly hurts sound quality
Somewhat bulk
In-line remote not included
Automatic play/pause sensor trigger
Odd sensation with OpenMic is active
Track wheel doesn't always change track
Switches on the ear cups for power and noisecanceling are easy to get confused. Because playback pauses when headphones are taken off
You might assume the headphones have powered down even though the battery life ebbs away
Mostly plastic construction gives it a lowerquality finish
