Kygo's verdict:
"My favorite. Genuine sound quality with rich bass and clear highs. A classic headphone that's comfortable to wear and has a sleek design."
Ultra-soft leather ear cushion and overall lightweight design ensure comfortable wearing even for long periods. And, because they’re Bluetooth, you have the extra comfort of moving freely. Pairing with another device is incredibly simple thanks to NFC – or Near Field Communication – technology. Just put them close together and peep! they’re paired. Highly convenient operation: battery status is shown on the iOS display, recharging is via the micro USB cable included. One recharge provides an immense 23 hours play time.
These incredible phones also feature aptX® technology which improves Bluetooth streaming quality giving more clarity, in particular, to top end (or treble) sounds. It’s a clever digital code that means aptX enabled devices can communicate with not only higher quality but also at higher speeds.

Bluetooth 4.0 + EDR Soft leather feel and comfort Sound quality with aptX® code Playback time: 23 hours NFC pairing Carrying case in artificial suede Talk time: 25 hours
