This was my first noise canceling headset that i ever bought, deciding on this set because a) some of the other equivalent set are to expensive and b) i was fortunate enough in knowing someone that recently bought the Plantronics as well and letting me try them out.
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.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, along with their team at NASA were on a mission… to the moon. And they took our headsets with them. That was more than 50 years ago, and since then we have continued to enable seamless work from anywhere.

Not bad at first but showing aging and questionable design.
These things sat on my desk and were used to listen to music while I was working at my computer, they were charged every night and treated very well. About 4 months into ownership the headband brackets cracked and fell apart, heavy duty black zipties have held up great as a replacement. The pleather headband started coming apart about 8 months into ownership, flaking that gray vinyl all over. About the same time as the headband started falling apart the ear cups started to split. I scraped off the rest of what I could and as time has gone on they have continued to degrade.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.
