As a student/gamer/new york city commuter, I find these headphones to be helpful in every aspect of my life. The other day I was waiting for a bus during a fairly busy afternoon. I had active noise cancel feature enabled while listening to some J Cole and I couldn’t hear a single thing. I couldn’t hear the traffic, the honking cars, nor could I hear a conversation between two people literally sitting next to me. all of which were sounds that I could not detect because of the wonderful active noise cancel feature. It feels like a bubble in my own head that filters out all sound from the outside world while trapping in the sound you let within. I highly highly highly recommend buying this. It’ll be worth the purchase and comes with an 18-month manufacturer’s warranty if you follow the instructions on the card they deliver with the headphones.
I waited several months after purchase to see how these headphones held up tp use over time. I have been very pleased with the quality so far. The battery life is better than expected. I kept the headphones on Noise Cancelling and Bluetooth mode for almost my entire trip to Europe two months ago. They worked great keeping out the engine drone as well as the babies crying near my seat! My wife was pleased that she could not hear the music I was playing despite sitting next to me. I used them while mowing my lawn when the wife called me. I could hear her well enough even with the mower running. All functions work so far. However the true test will be how long they last. We will see how long these last. They also have a 18 month warranty which is surprising. Most electronics have just a 90 day.
