Stellar sound quality in wireless mode. Brilliantly designed controls. Very comfortable. Rugged, folding design.

Very expensive. Noise cancellation performance, while solid, isn't class-leading. Audio quality takes a big hit when noise cancellation is activated.

TalkThrough, Other Features, and Conclusions The TalkThrough function takes the audio recorded from the tiny mics and actually pumps it in the earcups. This way, you can hear what's going on around you without removing the headset, while still...

Stellar sound, even with noise-canceling activated. Support for hi-fi Apt-X codec. Super-portable, wireless design makes them perfect for all kinds of travel. Over-the-ear design stays put, keeps a good seal and feels great all day

A whole lotta drachmas. Controls can be confusing — RTFM before use. Could definitely do with some more headroom

Slick design. Compact and foldable. Loaded with travel features for different listening environments

Nonstandard cord could be a hassle to replace. Closed design and tight grip may cause ear fatigue during long listening sessions. Steep price tag

Lightweight, compact design. ; Don't leak much sound.

Poor noise cancelling. ; Bass lacking.

It has a 40-foot wireless range.

In Bluetooth mode, the battery only lasts eight hours and doesn't fare much better in standby with only a 20-hour life.

Feature-packed, Comfortable

Noise cancellation ruins sound, Slightly fiddly to use, Expensive

These can be used as standard earphones by just plugging the 3.5mm jack into your music and the other end the 2.5mm jack into the right earphone. Even without the noise cancelling effect you still get an air of peace around you. There is an amazing...

Comes with power adapters for every country in the world. Way more than you will ever need. Comes with a very nice carry case. The battery is changeable and can be charged outside the headset. That is good because you will need three batteries to keep...

Notice in the Pro section that nothing is said about the headphones themselves. That speaks volumes. The materials are top quality. Unfortunately that does not help the poor design and for when (not if) they do snap in half. The ear cans will probably...
