JR 11/9/2012 8:01:59 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Great. Pros: Expectations met. You could get better audio quality for the same price with a wired set, but for Bluetooth these are remarkable. Probably the best wireless headphones on the market. These make wired beats studio headphones sound like cheap buds in comparison. Cons: Not so hot with SRS. Other Thoughts: Pricey, but when you consider the extras you're getting, and the price you'd pay for a set of good cans with an amp to do them justice, I'd say these are appropriately priced. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
