Amazing headphones. I was looking for some good quality noise cancelling headphones over Thanksgiving Holiday 2016, but didn't want to pay the premium Bose price. I was fortunate to find these headphones for $149 (Black Friday Sale). They delivered that Saturday (still not sure how that worked!!) and as I had a business trip Tuesday, I charged the headphones and couldn't wait for trip to try them out. One of the main reason's I purchased these was the size (they fold up to no bigger size than an iPhone 6Plus. These are on-ear headphones, so the passive noise cancellation was not very good at all. However, once I turned on the NC switch, wow! The plane's engine hum (CR-900 and CR-700) disappeared! It actually felt like I was floating once we took off as I couldn't hear the engineer noise! These aren't without fault however. When we were trying them out at home (my 11yr old son couldn't wait to try them) we did notice some pretty obvious sound bleed (headphone music being hear by those near) with higher volumes. Also, if you are looking for booming bass, do not look here. That said, I was hearing notes and instrument sounds on my favorite music that I have never noticed before (bass and rhythm guitar riffs).
Bottom line, if you are looking for a compact and supremely comfortable pair of headphones that have a great sound (except for the deep bass end), you cannot go wrong.

Hard to find cord replacement, especially the original
The cord stopped working and i could not find anything with a "mini jack". I also went to their website to look for a replacement and did not find anything. Now my headphone is just sitting around in the drawer.

The sound quality is good over bluetooth. With cable connected, the headphones are not amplified enough and the volume is too low. With the bluetooth + cancellation the volume increases BUT still relatively low comparing to my old AKG Q460. It seems that the sound quality is relying on some active EQ that is operated only when the headphones are on.
The noise cancellation works great, it reduces some of the annoying background noise when travelling (engine sound on train/plane etc). But that's really the best thing I can say about this headphones.
6 months after light use, they broke. It seems like a cheap kind of glue was attaching the earpiece to the bow and it just failed and now the headphones are unusable.
