    These are the best headphones i have owned. They might look big but they are smaller and lighter than you think. I work in a very loud environment, i can still hear things but its 5-10% of what i normally would. The quality is much better than other headphones i have used. I love these headphones so much i got a second pair. Definitely worth the money

    Good sound, not so good housing

    I have had these for roughly six months and have used them virtually everyday. I love the sound they produce and the adaptive noise cancelling. I usually used then in transparency mode and would occasionally have to remove a earmuff if the person was speaking too softly. Unfortunately, I had to send them in to get repaired because the plastic housing broke. They were never dropped and essentially lived in the case when they weren't on my head. So I'm kind of at a loss as to how they broken. That being said, I have a sizable head (7 5/8 hat size) so maybe daily use did it. Either way I would reccomend these to a friend with a smaller head. I do wish they had some metal in the housing to make it a bit more durable.

    This is the best headphones I have ever used. The sound is great and the noise cancellation is better than anything you can dream about. I say this with the rider that I have 3 noisy toddlers. The only downside is the crappy fragile build. I have to careful all the time and I shudder to think of what will happen if one of my kids get their hands on it while I am not looking.
