> 3 daythe sound quality is good, but everyone can clearly hear the music, and the noise cancelling part just muffles out the noise,i didnt excpect it to to completely block out noise but i thought it would make things a little more quieter, it also doesnt come with a good case, just a cloth bag

> 3 dayThe noise cancelling is good, but theres definitely a reason. The batteries dont last more than 2 days, even if I turn it off. If I fall asleep with just the noise cancelling on and nothing playing it runs out in a day. Cheaper chinese brand NC headphones have definitely last longer, though the noise cancelling is definitely inferior. Im not sure what to do at this point. Im not an audiophile and I dont want to have to go into the $200+ range to get better battery life to go with better NC. I need it to block tower fan noise in my workspace, and these Skullcandies do that well enough. But the main reason I bought these is I hoped for better battery life, which some of these reviews seemed to indicate I would get. I got tired of hearing the low battery alert so often with the old ones, and now I hear it even more with these. I cant even listen while charging even with the 3.5mm cable plugged in.

> 3 dayI bought this product for its noise cancellation and to use occasionally for my phone and TV. Noise cancellation meets my needs because I still want to be able to hear some things going on around me. My complaint with these headphones is that you cannot use them while theyre charging. The battery isnt very long lasting and you have to keep them charged when youre not using them. So theyre usefulness is quite limited.

> 3 dayWere adequate until the minus (-) button stopped working ( after less than a month). I think Im just going to return them (instead of replacing them) because of the excessive bass levels. If you like hearing cars driving by with thumping sub-woofers you can hear a mile away you might like these headphones. These are like the 4th headphones Ive tried and had to send back for some reason. I guess maybe I should stick with my $30 no name ones

Greater than one weekSometimes Ill be wearing these headphones and then all the sudden Im breaking out in random dances throughout the house. Im so happy that that nobody has been home yet to see my bad dance moves. These actually stay tight on my head though when Im dancing and they arent uncomfortable or tight either. I find it so easy to get lost in the music with the noise canceling feature that these headphones have! Seriously, I get so much more work done, and just feel really relaxed with the noise blocked out. These headphones block out about 75% of the sound. The Noise Canceling option can be turned on or off depending on your preference simply by double pressing the top botton on the headphones. You can also turn on ambient mode by double pressing the top button. Ambient mode allows all the sounds around you to be heard really well. Ambient mode doesnt even sound like you have headphones on. It sounds more like listening to music on a stereo in a room that has external speakers. This mode is great if you want to have a conversation with someone while still wearing your headphones. I love this mode because I dislike having to take my headphones off when I want to hear something or talk to someone. There is a also a volume up and down button on the headphones and a power button. The volume up and down button can be used for going backwards and forwards on tracks. The power button can also be used for answering calls. The included user guide also provides very good details on the button locations and uses as well. The manufacturers website even has an electronic manual if you prefer to read digital as opposed to the included paper manual. Now that you know a little bit about the features and functions, lets talk about the sound quality. I have never owned a quality high end pair of headphones like these. The first time I put them on and starting listening, I couldnt believe my ears! The music was so crisp and clear, and I could actually hear the music coming to life. I heard instruments in songs that I didnt even know where in hidden in songs. The bass on these headphones is crazy powerful too! I had never heard headphones with noticeable bass either, and I never want to go back. In fact, everything about these headphones makes me never want to go back to a less quality pair. I dont ever want to take them off and cant wait to use them on a long road trip when everyone is talking really loud in the car for hours at a time. Lets go ahead and finish up by talking about a few last minute things about these headphones that are pretty important to mention. Despite these headphones medium size, they are super portable. They fold up and twist into a small little bundle and also include a nice carrying bag. The carry bag has a little bit of extra room in it and a small pouch. These headphones also have an included tile in them for locating them. All you need to do is download the tile app to start using the tile. When its time to charge these headphones, you will need to charge them with a type C cable(included). It also has stereo input plug in case you want to use these on a computer and dont want to use the default Bluetooth option. (stereo input cable also included). According to manual located online, these headphones will NOT work with an Xbox or Ps4, but will work with a Nintendo switch. If you decide to take the occasional phone call on these headphones, then you should know that the quality is excellent as well. My overall opinion of these headphones is one of pure amazement! I still cant believe just how breathtaking music can sound on these and I am so in love with the noise canceling function and the ability to zone out insanely loud outer world around us.
