Sound Quality is really really impressive, however since this is my first set in this price range i can not make any comparison.
This set sits very very comfortable. Keep in mind that they are a little heavier that most of the competition. Battery LIFE is just enormously brilliant. intelligent functions like stopping Music automatically when you take the set of is very impressive and helpful.
In the beginning i though the easy touch Pause/Play, Volume, Mic, etc buttons on the ear cups was a useless gimmick, however since i have gotten used to using these simple touch buttons i can not see ever buying a headset like this without them - they have proved to be very useful indeed.
Build quality is really good and feels solid. I was impressed with it. (( i have had the set only for about two months and have traveled with it only once. ))
Surprisingly good find.
Bluetooth range, with my old One+ 6 about 60 foot through a wall or two, with my newer One+ 7T about 100 foot. I never did get the USB dongle to work in my computer, drivers and windows 10 didn't seem to work.
Battery life was never 24hr but it could have easily been 18hr actual use constantly streaming music over bluetooth. Now several years on they get about 9hr of battery life and die quickly when they start to go low. I realized I had never written a review when I came to Amazon looking for a new battery and ear pads.
These headphones have some sort of sensor that can tell if you take them off, they pause music etc. I noticed early on that if I bent over they would pause, any fast head movement caused them to pause, walking by my microwave while it was running caused them to pause. Kinda annoying, wish that feature could be disabled.
Active noise cancelling is ok, better than some others I have tried but not as good as the Bose QC 35 my boss has but they were about $150 cheaper at the time too.

Noise Cancelation (the only reason why this gets a 4 star rating from me). The head phones do ok, though they do work in drowning out ambient noise (engines, air conditioning, etc.) they do have a "hiss" when the feature is turned on. Somewhat annoying, this "hiss" is seems to be too invasive and counterproductive to a noise canceling head set. Nothing spectacular in this area, Bose has this portion of the market locked in.
Audio: The sound is great. I am not an expert but I can tell that these headphones provide superior sound quality to many of the headphones with less options available. I am sure a trained professional can argue against me, but for an amateur, they are more that sufficient.
Phone Calls: The headphones are awesome in this respect. The accelerometers in the headphones answer the call when you place the headphones on your head. This is a neat feature that I did not expect to be as useful as it is. I know that some people reported the phone calls were not clear, I have not heard any negative remarks and test calls proved to be clear. I am sure that the Blue Tooth works great at 300 feet on an open football field, but in the house, it seemed to work "OK" between floors. There were times when it would crackle a bit, but the fix for this is to keep my phone in my pocket... too easy.
Comfort: I did not feel any issues with wearing these headphones for a long time. They are comfortable, snug, and they are not as heavy as reported in other customer feedback.
Battery Life: Awesome. Traveling for long periods of time, I am not concerned about the 24 hour battery life others may be concerned about.
Extra: You can (at the press of a button) hear what is going on around you. By pushing one button, the music stops and the microphones amplify sound allowing you to have a conversation, listen for sirens, etc. This is an added bonus I was not expecting.
I give it a 4 star only for the "hiss" that is somewhat counter productive.
