I use these with a cable for sound monitoring for professional video, but increasingly I'm using them for long phone calls, music, movie watching, airplane trips. They are just awesome. I used them on a 3 hour personal phone call last night, and it allowed me to hear the other person clearly even when they're not speaking into the microphone. The battery has never run low on these headphones for me, and the voice tells you the battery level when you turn them on, and tells you "device connected", and so forth.
Sometimes I wish there was an on/off switch instead of having to turn the earphones to turn them off. But that's the ONLY thing I'd change about this design. they go over my ears and fit snugly. You can connect 2 devices simultaneously!
I got a little weird frequency resonance noise in the headphones sitting next to a jet engine on takeoff, but it was minor and only for 10 seconds. I assume this is noise cancelling trying to figure out what to do.
I paid $299 for these, a bit pricey, but at $199 they're a great value IMO. Disclaimer: I've never tried using these in wet weather, they are not "all weather" sealed.

Switching between apps/devices is not seamless, but I like them for online teaching!
Preface: I am teaching virtually from home, and I am on Zoom/Google Meet calls for 6 out of 8 hours every work day. I have a MacBook Air and a Pixel 3a. I listen to Spotify on my phone as well as through the app on my computer. I show YouTube videos during class as well and watch Netflix or Hulu while lesson planning. I also have a puppy that is very vocal (barkity bark bark), and I live in an apartment complex with normal-to-thin walls (hello, neighbors' dogs). Recently, my lovely pup, Sir Barks-a-lot (not his real name), ate my headphones, so I decided to buy these because they're massive and the likelihood of me losing these is minimal.Pros:- Very comfortable and lighter than I thought they'd be.- Easy to store, but big enough that I can't lose them.- Sounds good for a someone who just wants to hear stuff (read as: not super judgmental about sounds)- Battery life is dope (Charged it on Monday, and it is currently Wednesday, and I used them for 8 hours yesterday and most of today)- Sound range is fantastic. I can listen to my computer from the other side of my apartment (1700 sq ft. - I have roommates and live in Michigan. I'm not rich).- ANC and Hear-Through are neat features! Again, I'm not fancy, so I don't know if they're GREAT for ANC, but I think it's pretty cool that you can switch between modes! I CAN hear my doggo through them with ANC, but I cannot hear anything from any other room in the apt or my neighbors' apts.- Connected almost immediately to my phone (again, Pixel 3a), and some set up was required for my computer (MacBook Air)- When connected to Zoom on my computer, works very well!- When connected to Google Meet on my computer, works very well!- When connected to Spotify on my computer, works very well!- When connected to Spotify on my phone, works very well!- When calling on my phone, audio and mic sounded great!- I asked my students if I looked cool yet, and they didn't say no... but then again, they didn't say anything because they were all muted with their cameras off. So I'm taking that as a win.Cons (some of this might be user error):- Switching between apps/devices is not seamless. Examples:---- While I was on a Zoom and students were in breakout rooms, I received a call on my phone. When I tried to answer, the microphone and audio on both devices stopped working. I took the call with speaker phone, but when I went back to my Zoom, I couldn't hear my students, and they couldn't hear me. I turned off Bluetooth on both devices and taught the rest of class without headphones.---- While I was on a Google Meet, the Google Meet window was sending and receiving from my headphones, but when I opened Youtube in another tab, the audio was coming from my computer and not going to my headphones. When I hung up the Google Meet, I thought it would autocorrect, but I had to go into my System Preferences and change output to these headphones.---- When my computer is open and a Zoom meeting is happening, Spotify does not work on my phone. It will work from my computer, but I cannot control it from my phone.---- When I am listening to something in a Chrome tab (let's say, hypothetically, Bones on Hulu), and I go into a Zoom meeting, the audio changes (I don't know what happens, but the hypothetical show sounds fuzzier).---- I was on a Zoom, hung up, watched a few Youtube videos, went to the bathroom, and then hopped on another Zoom call, and the person on the other end said that there was loud buzzing and static that sounded like I was trying to blow out his eardrum.---- When switching audio from my computer to my phone, the volume went to max for Spotify, and when I turned it down, it would automatically go to max volume. I had to restart all devices because it was blowing out my eardrums.- My students tell me I sound fuzzy.- Setting up audio and microphone from my computer was a little cumbersome and required some trial and error.NOTE ONE: There was a software update that seemed to fix SOME (not all) of the issues!Overall, I really like these headphones. They can be frustrating sometimes, but overall, I am glad I got them. I can wrestle my dog while listening to my computer without fear of dragging my computer to the ground. They're big enough that I can find them, and my dog won't eat them... hopefully.WARNING (& UPDATE): if you have long hair, be careful! My hair got caught in the joint of the headphones and got pulled out :( I still like them though. Hair grows back.
