I am female and have a small, narrow head. Earbuds are uncomfortable and over-ear headphones are way too big. That's where on-ear headphones come in handy. After six months of research, these popped up on my radar. When I saw the price reduction on Best Buy's website I decided to pull the trigger and purchase them. Here my finally thoughts. The Good: - Fit, especially for smaller heads and ears. - Soft ear cushions. - Battery life - Audio quality with ANC enabled - ANC cancels out my fan, air conditioning, and faucet when I do dishes. It also cancels out most of the voices around me when I shopping. Overall, it's pretty good for the price. - Hands-free calling in quite environments. (I haven't taken any calls in populated areas so I cannot attest to the quality.) - Multi-point connectivity (allows you to connect to two devices simultaneously.) for easy switching. - App that allows you to configure and control things like sound profiles, voice assistant, ANC, auto-shutoff, auto-play/pause, and ambient modes. - USB-C with fast charging. - Button controls on the headphones allow you to power on, play, pause, adjust volume, skip or reverse tracks, pair, and toggle between ANC and ambient modes. The Bad: - Fit for individuals with larger heads and glasses. I'd skip these altogether if I were you. - Button placement is very close together. It could use some spacing out. - Ear cushions are made of that awful pleather material that gets very warm. I have the same issue with my work headset. I purchased two pairs of washable, fabric ear covers on that other site that starts with an "A" for under $10. Problem solved. - Sound while ANC is off isn't great. The Ugly: - The auto-play/pause function on these is awful. Like everything that is touch controlled, it doesn't work correctly. It cannot distinguish the difference between intentionally removing the headphones and accidentally movement. I ended up disabling the feature altogether but for some reason, it still beeped. JBL's website has instructions on how to reset the headphones (while powered on, hold down volume up and down until they restart. No need to repair, just re-connect to your devices.) and that did fix it. If it becomes an issue again, I will wear them on the wrong ears. I did this before I figured out how to reset and I had no problems. The Unknown: - I'm curious to see how these headphones hold up over time. The headband is reinforced with a thin piece of metal so it won't break when you adjust these to fit your head. You can fold these up for travel or lie them down flat when when you take them off. But it doesn't look like the hinge system received the same reinforcement so I'd imagine it could easily break if you are not careful.

Headphones fit well and sound good. I will they would compact a little more to transport. Other than that, good value.
