Comment:
Bought at [@] because in case of any issues their return policy is unbeatable. Have a Bose (non noise cancelling) studio set and have to say these are very close to the sound quality except the bass range on the Able is not as good while the mid and upper ranges are close. But for a [$] set you can't go wrong.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
