    Very good headphone with some flaws( minor). 1. The material on the ear cups is finger print magnet. 2. It feels so hot after using it for an hour so. I was sweating after using it for a couple of hours. 3. The case/folder is very large and cumbersome to carry it around. 4. The noise canceling and audio quality is excellent but not exceptional or any better than from the new Boss quiet and apple earMax. Overall very good headphone with some flaws.

    Amazing sound quality and noise cancellation! Bought them because I fly a lot for work and they’re great for blocking out all the noise in airports and on the plane. Highly recommend, if you have extra money laying around.
