Know before you buy
The Extra Bass technology is designed to emphasize low-end frequencies, resulting in a punchy, deep sound signature. It is ideal for genres like hip-hop, EDM, and pop, though it may be less neutral than studio-grade reference headphones.
Yes, the headphones feature a built-in microphone designed for hands-free calling. While they perform well in most settings, the noise-canceling technology primarily targets ambient background noise for your listening experience rather than isolating your voice for the caller.
Quick Attention Mode allows you to instantly lower your music volume and let in ambient sound so you can have a conversation without taking your headphones off. You can activate this by simply placing your hand over the right ear cup's touch sensor.
Yes, the over-ear design and 30-hour battery life make them well-suited for travel. The ear pads are cushioned for extended wear, though comfort can vary based on individual head shape and sensitivity.
Yes, they are fully compatible with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Once set up via the app, you can use your voice to manage playback, check notifications, or ask questions directly through the headphones.
The touch sensor on the right ear cup allows you to swipe to skip tracks, tap to play or pause, and adjust volume. While they offer a sleek, modern interface, they do require a brief learning curve to master the gesture sensitivity compared to traditional tactile buttons.
