    These noise-cancelling headphones provide very good audio quality with a few extra useful features, but they come with a few drawbacks as well.

    First of all, the cord that comes with these headphones is very long, probably 50% longer than my other headphones. This is a good thing and a bad thing, depending on your situation. If you like to have a long cord when listening to music, these are great, and I can see many scenarios where I’d be happy for that extra cord. But I use my headphones almost exclusively with my phone in my pocket, so the extra cord was wasted, and actually became a major annoyance as it constantly got tangled into itself.

    Having to spend a few minutes untangling them every single time I wanted to listen to music was a huge pain. These would benefit from a cord clip!

    The noise cancelling feature works very well, and helps to cut down on background noise. If you’ve never used it you won’t notice a huge difference at first, but when you turn it off or use other headphones you’ll suddenly notice just how much background noise is being filtered out by this feature. It’s turned on and off by a switch on the cord, but it does NOT turn off automatically when unplugged. As a result, I was constantly forgetting top turn this feature off, draining the battery much quicker than necessary.

    The in-ear wing design is very comfortable, and didn’t require any fiddling or adjusting for me. I just put them into my ears and right away they fit me very well, which was a concern of mine, as other in-ear wing designs have given me trouble in the past. By contrast, these stayed in during exercise and while running, and never felt loose or uncomfortable.
