Sound quality--fantastic. I listen to a lot of piano music and I've started noticing that I can hear tiny details for the first time, like the pianist breathing or humming. It's eery at first but now I feel like I don't want to listen with anything else.
Noise cancelling--excellent. It's awesome on airplanes, and even drowns out about 70% of the LOUD subway train noise on my commute. There's also an "ambient sound" mode so you can hear the world around you--so when you're walking on the street no one creeps up on you or anything. Easy to switch on/off depending on where you are.
Battery life--great, haven't run out of battery yet. Charges with USB-C which is great so I don't have to keep micro-USB chargers lying around like with many other bluetooth headsets.
Comfort--very good. Fairly light. Working from home these days, I wear them a LOT and all I need to do is occasionally adjust them to spread out the weight on my scalp (an issue with most over-the-ear headphones). They are very cozy--WONDERFUL in winter, they do make my head a tiny bit sweaty on warmer days walking outside... not unpleasant, but I do worry about making the nice faux-leather padding grimy over the long term. I wouldn't recommend exercising in them for this reason, but up to you.
Call quality--fine, good; I hear other people fine and haven't had any complaints about my audio from others. It'll never be as good as a dedicated external microphone, but for 99% of my calls or virtual meetings, it works great and is still better than my macbook's native mic.
Bluetooth pairing is quick and easy with all my devices.
Comfort: These headphones are light. Very light. When it comes to travel, that's exactly what you want, especially when the trips start pushing 5+ hours. I feel more prone to fatigue than others when it comes to wearing headphones, but this is the first pair I've worn practically all day without really getting tired of them. Once you put them on and get some sound pumping through, they practically disappear from your mind.
Sound Quality: The sound isn't top tier, but is better than adequate. When it comes to wireless headphones, you're already making a sacrifice on quality just to pump that sound through Bluetooth. However, these headphones are able to leverage LDAC to make the quality as high as possible. If your phone has that option, enable it. It's a night and day difference for me and I'd be less inclined to enjoy these headphones without LDAC. Even with all the best phone settings turned on, I've heard better from other headphones, especially at the 300+ range, but these aren't intended to give you the highest sound quality. They're able to deliver decent sound while also being wireless, lightweight, and noise-cancelling. All things considered, it's able to pump out perfectly good sound considering you might be 30,000 ft in the air sitting 20ft away from a jet engine. Or maybe you're just trying to drown out some office noise (me).
Noise Cancelling: These headphones have the best noise cancelling I've experienced yet. It's not perfect, but no noise-cancelling tech ever is. It perfectly hides the low hum and drones of nearby engines or a/c units. It masks higher tones like the wind whistling by your ears. It won't eliminate the voice of a noisy coworker, but it'll reduce it to the point where you can finally tone it out and get some dang work done...
The app is a necessary accessory to properly utilize these headphones. You'll want to play with the noise cancelling tech and get the head pressure feeling right for you. You'll also want to "optimize" the noise-cancelling tech by holding down the ambient noise button whenever you're in a different sound situation.
All in all, these are a solid pair of phones that do a great job of doing what they were designed to do: wirelessly and comfortably drown out ambient noise for extended periods of travel (or office work) while simultaneously delivering reasonably good sound!
