    Excellent sound..Probably the best I've ever heard

    Reviewed by - March 8, 2017

    I waited a long time to get my hand on these, but its truly worth the wait. These are the best sounding headphones I've ever tried...I felt lost in listening to some of my favorite songs on these....The sound quality is exquisite and very fine to even the minute detail. However I do have a few complaints.. There is no Battery Indicator and I also wish there is way to listen without the ANC on... nevertheless, I'm happy with my purchase.. and hope to enjoy this for many years to come!

    Best. Headphones. Ever.

    This is the real deal. The N90Q is the Jurassic Park of head phones and not because of man eating Dinosaurs it's because they literally "sparred no expense". From the lambskin sack that has an embedded fold guide, to the extra Li-ion battery pack, to the chargeable case, to the fine grained rope cabled adapters for pick-your-device, to the radar pulse button that scans your freaking ear lobes to produce the best possible sound for your ears. Yeah, they are that good.

    Good but can be better.

    Reviewed by - April 14, 2016

    Waited almost a year to get my hands on these. The sound coming from these are crystal clear. I can even discern what people is saying in the background from the music. NC is better than the JBL Elite 700. The ear cups seals out most of the sound from leaching out. Less pressure on the head compared to the JBL Elite 700. DSP and EQ is too minute that it feels like nothing really changed on the music. It falls short compared to the AKG K3003i in sound envelopment.

    broken by design

    Reviewed by - March 2, 2021

    Amount of white noise in these headphones is unbelievable. From all possible noise cancelling headphones I ever used N90 has by far the loudest white noise level. Literally you can't enjoy your music on acceptable volume because the white noise is as loud as the music itself. Warranty service deny the problem as naturally they can't fix something which is broken by design. Noise cancelling cannot be disabled and completely integrated in the headphones.

    Effortless

    Long haul flights are now a real pleasure! These cans offer exquisite sound quality that never has you or your ears feeling fatigued. Just a joy to experience, in addition to the masterstroke of removing so much of the unwanted surrounding noise. Ps a real treat if you decide to watch a movie. It’s on a different level to what us mere mortals are used to listening to.

    Maybe it was a manufactoring error

    Reviewed by - May 15, 2020

    One of my ears keep clicking in and out its very annoying. Does not matter what device I use or if I use the native cords across various installs. Got it on the cheap so not too disappointed because sometimes they sound good but it definitely is not something I would replace my IEMs. Being a sound enthusiast I was hoping for a more quality given the other reviews.

    Poor quality

    Reviewed by Bob - May 20, 2020

    I only used this headpohone several times and only using it in my house. Then the left side just completely lost its sound. No matter how I tried to change a new and better cable or on other sound resources, it's just broken. Starting returning process. See how the seller will do to this poor quality product with a high price.

    Wireless???

    Reviewed by - January 16, 2019

    I don't know much about studio headphones or headphones built for the music maker as opposed to the music consumer but I purchased these with the intent of learning more about music with a tool that gave me a leg up. I didn't realize the weren't wireless though. Uuuhggghghh!! The Beats are wireless, all of them!!!

    Extremely over priced

    Reviewed by - October 27, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brought these a few weeks ago along with my new galaxy and i have to be honest, these things should give you the best sound experience in the world but they just d not get close to my old studio 2's. Definetly overpriced with poor sound quality. Would never use them again.
