I wear these when running and wasn't bothered by the noise cancelling attachment that some others noted. They seal well too.
They are sturdier than some all plastic headphones with a very thin metal band securing the curves. I could turn them up on the train without nearby commuters hearing them like they can with earbuds.
The headphones have clear sound and I could hear notes throughout the range. The earpieces are comfortable for my average size ears.
I am more particular than average about having quality sound and I would buy them again. I would have liked more bass but didn't notice any improvement with another brand name headphone I tried in the same price range.
The attachment clipps comfortably to my shorts, is light enough to clip to my shirt, and long enough to clip to my messenger bag while walking.
Delivery is so fast,and the earphone is good, but one thing i should mention is that there is no box to carry the earphone, so it is not as convinent as PXC 300 or 250.
I like these because they cut the low drone of the plane's engines and ventilation system and reduce other cabin noises and let you clearly listen to the inflight movies or to music without completely cutting you off to what's going on around you. For that you really need the big, cushioned headphones that completely cover your ears. These headphones sound great and the noise cancelling works well. If you are expecting headphones that will eliminate all the noise on a plane trip, for example, then these headphones will not do that.
The battery part is just too big and clunky. I am going my 2nd pair of NC that are non-Bose.I think 3rd time is a charm and I am going to finally learn my lesson and get the Bose.I do a lot of air travel so the 2 things I try to look for in a pair of NC are:1)Compact and easy to store 2)Decent NC to reduce plane noiseI feel the NC part of this works fine.What bugs me about this pair is the cord that is attached to the battery stick. It gets tangled and trying to pack this in the laptop bag isn't the best.
biggest issues is the earcup too small, also the ugly bad design of the noise cancellation unit. i like the sound, crips high's and mid, not a lot of bass, but sounds very nice, however, this baby is going back because the three drawbacks:1) it's a mini headphone, my ear hurts after wearing if for extended time, this is more apparent if I compare it with my other headphones.2) the noise cancellation unit is a pain, make the headphone only useful i I am stationary. 3) uses 2 AAA batteries, the noise cancellation is marginal and cost $$, and gives a slight hiss sound when turned on, which is sometimes annoying when between songs.
