Cool case, the sound is

"Cool case, the sound is great, and it maybe has too much options that a smart person could pretty much use it properly (lol). But it’s good set in case ya don’t wanna buy AirPods"

— Jose V. (5/5)

The ear buds pause and

"The ear buds pause and play with an extremely slight incidental touch from a bike helmet chin strap. The strap barely brushes it evertime I turn my head which pauses and plays alternately. Makes them worthless for riding a bike or motorcycle. Additionally the ANC with any wind is awful. A lot of static that sounds like a blown speaker. Somewhat usable for lawnmower/power tool work. I keep them in my gym bag. The only reason for a 3 rating is they do have great sound when indoors with no wind."

Pls if it starts giving

"Pls if it starts giving issues right away return it. Dont order from the page your better off with best buy. They got the worst customer service here. No help at all and they send defective items so you can use your insurance. It lags and playback all tbe time its disgusting. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY"

I’ve been really impressed with

"I’ve been really impressed with the Method 540 ANC. The sound quality is clear and powerful, with strong bass without overpowering the vocals. The ANC works very well, especially in noisy environments, and the headphones are comfortable enough to wear for long periods. The build quality also feels solid and premium for the price. Battery life has been great so far, and the overall experience has been very reliable. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for comfortable headphones with good sound, strong bass, and effective ANC. Highly recommended! Also webpage was awesome"

Great sound on both noise

"Great sound on both noise canceling and stay aware modes! I have trouble with the "turn off" command and they dont fit in my girlfriend's ears but those are not big issues. I also like the size, with the creme color I chose they blend in with my skin and I can sneak them into work!"

— Hunter M. (4/5)

Definitely an upgrade from the method 360.

"I had the method 360’s for just over a year and I loved them. I am a heavy duty mechanic and the noise cancelling does a very good job at keeping the headaches away, the 540’s are the same but better in every way. The case is much smaller, the sound is great, and the play time with anc on is more than good enough. They also charge ridiculously fast. I would definitely recommend that anyone thinking of buying them should."

— Dave K. (5/5)

They are ok but not great

"I like the quality of the sound but i was used to my previous beats fit that the base sound I think is more solid than this one, I’m not saying is bad is just I’m not just used to it yet. Fit very good in my ear, The seal is perfect which is great. Just 3 complaints, 1 take them in and out from the case is kind annoying and not practical, 2nd is not indications of what’s The percentage of battery remaining either the case nor the earbuds and finally is not automatic detection if you are wearing them or not, if you take them off and put them aside it’ll be still playing unless you turn off the Bluetooth, in the box said this product is meant to be use for apple but still need lots of improvements with the brand to make it more organic."

— Alan A. (4/5)

Didnt even get them

"I ordered these headphones and i didnt even get them. I paid 130 pounds for these and insteqd of them i got a difftent pair of head phones made for children and so far i have herd nothing about my refund request or getting my money back so so far looking like a massive scam and im out nearly 105 pounds"

— Conor M. (1/5)

I love the sound quality

"I love the sound quality but it has one problem when the buds are turned against the sun they automatically press one time every almost 15 seconds i found that really frustrating but other than that they are great but i would like your answer to this"
