Bass not so great
I am using this to listen to music throughout my apartment. My regular speakers are not loud enough to reach other rooms. I was disappointed for 2 reasons. One is that the charging cord is seriously hard to plug into the headphones. Secondly, the quality of the sound is not that great considering who designed them, AND most importantly, there is no way to increase the bass. The sound is not all that clear.They are comfortable for wearing several hours. Eventually, my ears do get a bit sore - but that is after 5 hours of non-stop listening. YMMV. But also considering the cost of the headphones, I can't complain too loudly.

Good quality
Not only do these work well for music when I’m out mowing and trimming, I also use these when I’m out shooting! I’ve shot .22lr, .380acp, 9mm, and even 12ga shotguns with these on and they do quite well for hearing protection.

Cheap
I expected a much higher quality, better sounding unit given the name and the price.

I love Santana listen to his music all the time
However the headphones just didn't get it for me very uncomfortable and when on for even a short time I just could not keep them on Sorry for the revue Love the music but no on the phones

Backwards
The head piece for these 'phones wasn't particularly comfortable, and the controls were ridiculous - only the button for the noise cancelling fell naturally under my right thumb, and to press the others I had to point my palm at the ceiling and twist my hand around. Then it hit me. The headphones (at least, the pair I got) are backwards. There is a little "L" and "R" molded into the can support, and if you follow those nothing feels right. If you reverse sides, however, the head piece fits, and the buttons fall naturally under your (left) thumb. In this case, however, the music is coming from the wrong sides. Not actually that much of an issue for ordinary imaging, but if you've memorized some tracks that use stereo for motion in a space, well, problematic.In addition to the big oops, there are some small ones. The three main control buttons are identical, with + > - molded in, but not big enough to feel (how hard would it have been to make different shaped buttons folks). The noise cancelling button has a circle on it that looks like on/off, but power on/off is actually a long press on the play/pause button, and it's not actually power on/off (even though that's what the little voice says), just bluetooth on/off. When bluetooth is off, noise cancelling is still on - you have to explicitly turn off both.But wait, there's more. When both music and noise cancelling are on, the LED indicator is green with a very intermittent blue flash.. When noise cancelling is on by itself, the indicator is steady green (good they have that, since the little voice said "power off" when you turned off the bluetooth). When bluetooth is on without noise cancelling, there is the same very intermittent blue flash, without the green, which is really easy to miss if you glance at the wrong time. So, now you're accidentally chewing down your battery and can't figure out why. When the battery is low a voice says "battery low." Every 30 seconds. For the next 20 minutes until the battery actually runs out. (UI comedy gold).The sound is ok. The bass is clearly boosted, but not overwhelming. Voice is very, very clear, which is certainly a win. Imaging and sound stage are good for this price point (except for being backwards). The active noise cancelling is underwhelming, though there is substantial mechanical attenuation just from the nice soft cushions.The headphones come packed in a bookshelf-friendly cardboard box, with mostly (though not completely) recyclable packaging. There is a charging cord and an audio cord included. There is no carry bag, which is too bad.Overall, these won't compete with my Bose, or even my SkullCandy headphones. I might keep them to use on the subway. Or as a collector's item, if the company decides to recall this batch.
