Features Good bass output Impressive battery life Decent
good and comfortable design

brilliant design and robust-esk build
very high standard and of very nice quality
The comfort on the XB700's is really good

ears get very hot
and sometimes a little sweaty
pads are absolutely huge

takes a lengthy 4 hours
mediocre microphone audio quality over the archaic Bluetooth headset audio profile
Extra Bass headphones were rather disappointing
any headphones are worth hurting your ears
it does hit more often than miss
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
The pleather padding used also feels a bit cheap
their treble delivery is quite inconsistent
noise isolation performance is poor
latency is too high to use them for this use wirelessly
